and contingency). Staff anticipates processing a change order reflecting landscaping work to be completed by City crews that will reduce the overall cost of the project by $27,164, to $410,600. The project consists of the construction of an approximately 700 square foot masonry restroom building and related site work, to be located at the southern end of Delucchi Park, near West Angela Street. Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council: BACKGROUND At its meeting of April 19,2005, the Council considered a variety oflocations for a new public restroom building in the Downtown area. After receiving public testimony and reviewing conceptual design options, the Council selected the southwest corner of Delucchi Park (near W. Angela Street) as its preferred location. On May 17,2005, the Council considered the matter of a "custom design versus manufactured structure," and unanimously decided to pursue a custom restroom design. Staff negotiated a Scope of Services with the firm of ELS Architects of Berkeley to perform the design work, and on June 21, 2005, the Council approved the resulting Consultant Agreement. On February 26,2006, the project was advertised for public bids. A formal bid opening occurred on March 9, 2006, with two (2) bids received. The bids ranged from a high of $449,900, to a low of $382,959 for the project's "Base Bid." The initial engineer's estimate was $240,000. The firm of G & G Builders, Inc. of Pleasanton submitted the low base bid, and all bid documents were found to be in order. This contractor has not previously worked for the City, but has provided excellent references that attest to its reliability and responsibility on similar municipal projects. The bid is included as Attachment A.
