ORANGE COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS ACTION AGENDA ITEM ABSTRACT Meeting Date: June 26, 2007 Acfiion Agenda Item No. ~ SUBJECT: Central Recreation Restroom and Accessibility Renovations DEPARTMENT: Purchasing PUBLIC HEARING: (Y/N) No Recreation Public Works ATTACHMENT(S): INFORMATION CONTACT: Central Recreation Restroom and Pam Jones, 245-2652 Accessibility Renovation Bid Tabulations Lori Taft, 245-2663 Wilbert McAdoo, 245-2625 Wayne Fenton, 245-2628 PURPOSE: To authorize a contract for completion of the Central Recreation restroom renovations and accessibility elements. BACKGROUND: The existing restrooms, including fixtures, water and wastewater lines and surfaces are believed to be largely original to the building (circa 1957). The existing configuration does not meet the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) code requirements for accessibility. In addition, water and wastewater plumbing lines, which are approximately 50 years old are subject to leaks and failures, which could result in lost water resources, increased cost to the County and inconvenience to customers. The Board previously authorized a contract with Reece, Noland & McElrath, Inc. for design work for replacement of restroom fixtures, water and waste water lines, and all surface treatments (floors, walls, ceilings), including identification of water conserving measures and fixtures. The scope of work was modified to include design for accessibility elements (exterior ramp, power assisted door openers, etc.). Competitive bids were solicited during May 2007 for completion of the restroom renovations and accessibility elements, closing on June 8, 2007. Bids were solicited from contractors and apre-bid conference was attended by three contractors. Four contractors answered the bid call. The lowest responsible bid that was responsive for the restroom improvements and accessibility elements was received from HF Mitchell Construction in the amount of $232,700 for restroom renovations and $17,153 for the accessibility related work, for a total cost of $249,853. FINANCIAL IMPACT: In fiscal year 2004-05, the Board approved $690,000 in 2004 Two-Thirds Net Debt Funds for repairs to Central Recreation. Examples of major pieces of that project included replacing the windows in the gymnasium along with up-fitting the restrooms throughout the Central Recreation Facility. Adequate funding is available for completion of the restroom and accessibility renovations as specified.
