BACKGROUND At its meeting of April 19, 2005, City Council considered a variety of locations for a new public restroom building in the Downtown area, selecting the southwest corner of Delucchi Park as its preferred location. On May 17, 2005, the Council decided to pursue a custom restroom design versus a manufactured structure and on June 21, 2005, approved a consultant agreement with the firm of ELS Architects of Berkeley to perform the design work. The project consisted of the construction of an approximately 700 square foot masonry restroom building, with asix-stall women's restroom, atwo-stall men's restroom, aone- stall family restroom, astorage/plumbing room and related site work. At its meeting of May 16, 2006, City Council awarded the construction contract to the firm of G & G Builder's, Inc. of Pleasanton in the amount of $355,795 which was the base bid of $382,959 less the costs of landscaping services ($27,164). Bid alternates Al through A3 (wood trellis, screen, wooden benches) were added to the base for an additional $17,478. Work was completed in late December and the restrooms were opened for public use. BUDGET A total of $461,914 was available to fund the construction of this project; $400,000 from the project budget authorized in the Capital Improvement Program and $61,914 from the Downtown Specific Plan Reserve. The transfer of funds from the Downtown Specific Plan Reserve was authorized by City Council at the time of the award of construction contract, in order to allow for a project construction contingency in the amount of $37,327. Change orders totaling $11,526 were issued on the project for unforeseen conditions or conditions that required a modification to the contract as described below. It was determined that painting the ceilings in the restrooms and adding three additional hand dryers in the facility for public use would add to the functionality of the building. Additionally, PG&E revised the tie-in location for power to the building, requiring the contractor to almost triple the distance of required trenching. All of these items were determined by staff to either greatly benefit the project or be necessary to complete the work.
