The previous restroom building at Rock Park was removed with the Rock Park Phase 1 Project by the City of Sparks for the construction of Whitewater Park in FY2009.  Currently, the City of Sparks provides temporary restroom facilities for Rock Park.  Installation of a permanent facility will not only improve park aesthetics and visitor experience, but will also reduce operations and maintenance costs associated with the existing temporary restrooms.

This project will construct a men’s and women’s masonry restroom facility that will also include a storage room and three drinking fountains. This project also includes installation of supporting amenities including a lift station and force main; and connections to water and sewer utilities.  A map showing the location of the new restroom facility is attached to this staff report.

The project was advertised in the Reno Gazette Journal on August 2, 2015 and digital copies were distributed to local plan rooms.   Three (3) bids were opened at City Hall on August 26, 2015.  Base Bid results ranged in cost from $469,900.00 to $540,651.00 and the bids have been evaluated and award recommendation made using the total base bid.  The contract amount includes a force account of $20,000 to correct unforeseen conditions, if required.  Reyman Brothers Construction is the lowest responsive and responsible bidder for this project with a base bid amount of $469,900.00. A bid recap is given below for Council's review.

1. City Council could approve a contract to Reyman Brothers Construction for the Rock Park Restroom Building  Project, as outlined by staff.                                                                        

2. City Council could reject a contract to Reyman Brothers Construction for the Rock Park Restroom Building Project, and provide direction to the City Manager.

I move to approve a contract to Reyman Brothers Construction for the Rock Park Restroom Building Project in the total amount of $469,900.00.
