RESOLUTION APPROVING CONTRACT DOCUMENTS AND AWARDING A CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT FOR BID SCHEDULE NO. 1221 � JOHNNY CARSON PARK RESTROOM RENOVATION PROJECT

 

PURPOSE:

 

The purpose of this report is to obtain approval of contract documents and award a construction contract for Bid Schedule No. 1221 � Johnny Carson Park Restroom Renovation Project.

 

BACKGROUND

 

Johnny Carson Park is one of the largest neighborhood parks, very well known and utilized for large community events throughout the year.  Many events attract gatherings in excess of three thousand individuals, such as the Easter Eggsplosion, The Road Kings Car Show, and The Ellen Show. 

 

The existing restrooms at the park are old, antiquated, and non compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).  They are in total need of renovation from both an aesthetic perspective and a functioning perspective.  In addition, the restrooms need to be brought up to current code standards.  The architectural services of David Evans & Associates was retained to prepare construction documents that will provide a new roof, interior and exterior paint, all new fixtures, ceramic tile, doors and appropriate spacing to accommodate ADA requirements.  The end result of this project will be a like-new restroom facility suitable to accommodate our park patrons and large events.              

 

ANALYSIS 

 

David Evans & Associates estimated the restroom renovation cost for Johnny Carson Park to be approximately $175,000. 

 

Bids were advertised in the Burbank Leader and three bids were received at the October 3, 2006 bid opening. Bids ranged from a low of $211,000 to a high of $234,500. Amer Contractors was determined to be the lowest responsible qualified bidder.

 

The project has been determined to be Categorically Exempt pursuant to Section 15301 (a) of the California Environmental Quality Act, pertaining to replacement of existing facilities.

 

FISCAL IMPACT

 

Funding for this project is available in account number 370.PR21A.70003.0000.15975.

 

RECOMMENDATION:

 

Staff recommends City Council adopt a resolution approving the contract documents and award a construction contract to the lowest responsible bidder Amer Contractors for Bid Schedule No. 1221 � Johnny Carson Park Restroom Renovation Project.
