CITY OF SAN LEANDRO APPROVED AND STAFF REPORT FORWARDED TO CITY COUNCIL DATE: December 6 2010 Stephen L. Hollister City Manager TO: Stephen L. Hollister, City Manager FROM: Uchenna Udemezue. Director Engineering and Transportat ep ent BY: Kenneth Joseph, City Engineer Engineering and Transportation D artme SUBJECT PROJECT /PROJECT DESCRIPTION: RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING NEGOTIATION OF A SOLE SOURCE CONTRACT WITH PUBLIC RESTROOM COMPANY FOR THE PURCHASE OF A PRE - FABRICATED RESTROOM FOR THE TOYON PARK RESTROOM REPLACEMENT PROJECT, PROJECT NO. 210 -62 -008. SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the City Council authorize staff to negotiate a sole source contract for the purchase of a pre - fabricated public restroom with Public Restroom Company (PRC) for the Toyon Park Restroom Replacement Project, Project Number 210 -62 -008. BACKGROUND The City of San Leandro replaced restroom facilities at several parks in recent years. These structures were replaced because the existing facilities had outlasted their intended life span, needed extensive repairs, and did not meet current building codes or accessibility regulations. These replacement restrooms were individually designed, but each was based on a common design prototype. While this method resulted in a quality product, the cost was high and construction time was significant, causing extensive park disruption. The existing restroom at Toyon Park was approved for replacement for the reasons stated above and due to extensive ongoing maintenance. Prior to embarking on its replacement, Engineering and Transportation, Public Works Services and Recreation and Human Services department staff agreed to assess the possibility of using a pre - fabricated restroom building. Installation of a pre- fabricated structure has substantially lower project costs and minimizes construction- related impacts to the park and its users. The variety of pre- manufactured restroom buildings allows for a building style selection that incorporates the major design components of the City's own restroom design prototype.
