FROM: Michael McCluskey, Public Works Director,

SUBJECT: Throop Park Restroom, Specification No. 99828
CAO RECOMMENDATION
1. Approve plans and specifications for "Throop Park Restroom", Specification No. 99828.
2. Authorize staff to advertise for bids and authorize the CAO to award the contract if the
lowest responsible bid is within the engineer's estimate.

DISCUSSION
The City operates Throop Park for its recreation program under an agreement with the San Luis
Unified School District. The restroom in the park is old, does not comply with the Americans
with Disabilities Act (ADA) and requires significant maintenance. Replacement of the facility
was identified in the 1997-99 budget on page E-29.
Architect Bruce Fraser has prepared plans and specifications. Maintenance staff has reviewed
the plans. The school district has been contacted and provided with plans and the City's Building
Department is prepared to issue a building permit.
CONCURRENCES
The Community Development Department has given this project a categorical exemption. The
school district and the Principal of adjacent Teach School have provided indications of support for
the project.
FISCAL IMPACT
This project was budgeted for in the 1997-99 Financial Plan, page E-16 and 29. The total budget
available was $67,000. The funding was from the Parkland Development Fund. The City has
expended $7,350 for architectural services. The Architect's Estimate for this project is $82,500
including 10% contingencies. The estimated cost of this project has increased because of the
time that has passed since the budget was originally established and is currently subject to some
uncertainty due to the current bidding climate.
An additional $23,000 may be needed to construct this project. Staff recommends the Council
authorize transferring the money necessary to complete this project from the fund balance of the
Parkland Development Fund. The fund has a current un-appropriated balance of$321,000.
Attachment:
Plans and Specifications will be placed in the Council reading file.
