6b Consideration of architectural stvle for Delucchi Park Public Restroom. Proiect No. 038030. (SR 05:256) Jim Wolfe, Director of Parks and Community Services, presented the staff report. In response to an inquiry by Mayor Hosterman, Mr. Wolfe said Council saw design Attachment 2. Council directed and asked staff to involve the Pleasanton Downtown Association (PDA) because the restroom facility would be located in the Downtown area. The Consultant held a meeting with various City staff and two designated representatives from the PDA and it was the consensus of the group that a traditional "Railroad Style" of architecture be pursued, which is design Alternative 1. Staff is looking for direction from Council to authorize it to proceed with either the historically themed "Railroad" design or a more cotemporary style of architecture. Mr. Brozosky questioned the fiscal impact and recalled that staff was going to try and reduce the expected cost of $290,000 which included a contingency. He noted that the staff reported mentioned the City has allocated $400,000, which leaves $110,000 for any unknown field conditions that might occur. Based on previous Council discussion and direction, he believed the cost to construct the facility and related improvements was set at $290,000 and the remainder of the $400,000 would be set aside to fund another separate Downtown restroom project. Mr. Wolfe said staff was attempting to point out there is $400,000 budgeted in the Capital Improvement Program. Based on current conditions, it is staff's belief that this structure could be constructed for $290,000. It is not uncommon to construct a facility on City property such as Delucchi Park were nothing has been done in the Park and find some condition that it might have to address which staff believes sufficient funds are available to construct the restroom facility. He pointed out that there is a 10 percent contingency for this project, which is approximately $26,000 of the cost. Council has indicated to staff that any remaining funds are to remain in a CIP fund for additional restroom facilities in the Downtown area. Mr. Brozosky recalled that Council appropriated up to $290,000, which included the 10 percent contingency and Council had not approved any additional funds for this project. Mr. Wolfe said that was correct. Mr. Fialho pointed out that the Architect has provided staff with an estimate and staff will not know the ultimate final cost until the project is submitted for bid. At that point in time Council has two options: (1) fund the low bid that might potentially come up above $290,000, or (2) staff could value engineer the project to that point where it keeps the project under budget of $290,000. Mr. Brozosky asked how many square feet was the proposed restroom facility? Mr. Wolfe said 650 square feet. Mr. Brozosky was hopeful that it would not cost the City more to construct a restroom facility rather than purchasing a prefabricated restroom facility. Pleasanton City Council 12 10/04/05 Minutes
