SUBJECT: Recommendation to Award Contract for Santa Monica pier
Restroom Renovation
Introduction
This report requests that the city Council award a contract for
the renovation of the restroom building on the Santa Monica Pier
to Kevin Kraus, the lowest responsible bidder, in the amount of
$43,228.
Background
This project was recommended as part of the City's 1985-86
Capital Improvements Project budget to provide for the renovation
of the 10 year old pier restroom building. A primary objective
of the project is to make the restrooms accessible to the
handicapped. The restroom building, located at the entrance to
the pier parking lot, has been the only permanent restroom
facility on the pier since the 1983 storms when the restrooms at
the west end of the pier were destroyed. A restroom trailer has
been installed to serve the west end since that time. The
restrooms receive heavy usage and are subject to vandalism and
graffiti.
This proj ect consists of replacement of toilet and
lavatory fixtures and partitions with more durable and attractive
products. Skylights will be installed to improve ventilation and
lighting.
