Title
Discussion and possible action to proceed with the Sexauer Park Restroom Project.
Body
Summary:
The Parks, Recreation & Forestry Department is requesting approval from the Mayor and City Council Members to continue moving forward with the design and bidding process for the demolition of the existing restroom at Sexauer Park and construction of a new restroom on existing the footprint.
Background:
The current restroom and shower facility constructed in 1982 is in need of replacement. The current restroom is not ADA compliant, and because of its age, the fixtures, plumbing, and roof system is deteriorating. Sexauer Park is the only park in Brookings where camping is allowed. The campground contains 18 paved pads suitable for trailers, RVs, campers and similar vehicles. Additionally, there is a large grass site available for tents. The east portion of Sexauer Park consists of a playground, sand volleyball courts and a multi-purpose open green space area.
The project would include removing the existing restroom and shower facility and replacing it with a new comfort station facility. The current facility includes a women and men's restroom and a utility room. The women's restroom consists of three toilet stalls, a sink and one shower. The men's restroom consists of one urinal, two toilet stalls, a sink and one shower. The new proposed restroom would be located in the same location as the current facility. The facility would consist of four separate unisex restrooms. The restrooms would be ADA compliant and each would include a toilet, sink, and shower. The floor plan would increase the number of showers available, provide additional privacy and be an efficient dual use facility for the campground users as well as the park patrons.
The timeline for the project is to continue the design and bid process this fall with a final project completion date by mid-June 2018.
