Subject:

Authorize Purchase of Prefabricated Restrooms and Trash Enclosures for Arovista Park Modernization, CIP 7978

RECOMMENDATION

Approve the purchase of prefabricated restrooms and trash enclosures from Public Restroom Company in the amount of $1,453,052.00.

BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION

Arovista Park's original construction started on the west side of the flood control channel in 1987. The portion on the east side followed years later to make up the current 14.89 acres. A skate park was added in the southeast corner in 1999. The renovation of the skate park was completed on schedule in September 2022.

In the Fall of 2020, the City’s Parks Recreation and Human Services Commission adopted their Goal Setting Executive Summary highlighting several improvements that are currently needed at Arovista Park. The City Council directed staff to move forward with exploring a modernization of Arovista Park at their May 4, 2021, meeting, with an emphasis on an all-accessible playground and other park improvements. These included upgrades to existing fields and courts; the addition of multi-generational recreational opportunities; and the desire for an all-accessible play area.

Extensive community outreach and engagement followed through the remainder of 2021, resulting in an initial concept plan for the park. At their Special Meeting on March 8, 2022, the City’s Parks, Recreation and Human Services Commission established a base project with other priorities for the Arovista Park Modernization Project. The base project included an all-inclusive playground; skate park sound wall; parking lots; restrooms; golf safety netting; tracks/trailhead/lighting and design. Other priorities included the baseball fields; amphitheater; Jubilee Grove; active adult area; and courts for pickleball, basketball and volleyball. There was a consensus to include relocating the sound wall in the base project and staff also recommended safety netting at the golf course, which should be completed this month.

In June 2022, City Council awarded a design services agreement to David Volz Design for plans, specifications and estimates (PS&E) for Arovista Park Modernization, CIP 7978. The final concept design is attached, (Exhibit A).

The modernization project will install a restroom/concession building near the sports fields ($688,134.00); a restroom/storage building between the amphitheater and playground ($569,384.00); along with two new trash enclosures ($195,534). Staff researched prefabricated restrooms from different manufacturers and their costs compared to traditional construction before deciding on Public Restroom Company, whose buildings had the desired layouts and exteriors to match the park. Restrooms will be equipped with porcelain fixtures as requested during the community outreach. This is the same Company used for the restroom on segment 3 of The Tracks. Lead time for the buildings and trash enclosures requires an order to be placed now for a September delivery.

The equipment will be purchased through Sourcewell, which offers discounts to member Agencies. The total purchase price of the two restrooms and trash enclosures is $1,453,052.00. Once the purchase order is issued, the general contractor will be responsible to coordinate delivery and make the final utility connections to the restrooms.

SUMMARY/FISCAL IMPACT

Staff recommends purchasing two prefabricated restrooms and trash enclosures from the Public Restroom Company for the Arovista Park Modernization at a total cost of $1,453,052.00. Funding is available in the CIP budget.
