SUBJECT: Recommendation to Award Contract to Replace the Beach
Restroom at 1758 The Promenade
Introduction
This report requests that the City Council award a contract to
replace the beach restroom at 1758 The Promenade to Etco
Construction Co., Inc" the lowest responsible bidder, in the
amount of $92,750.
Background
During the 1985-86 budget sessions, staff recommended that the
beach restroom located near Pico Boulevard be replaced because of
its badly deteriorated condition. Originally constructed in the
early 1950's, the restroom's foundation has cracked, the roof has
deteriorated, and the grout and mortar have rotted.
Also, the
restroom is three feet below grade which causes flooding during
high tide and storms. The new restroom will be three feet higher
than the existing restroom, provide handicap facili ties and be
land scaped (please see attached si te pI an and vic in i ty map).
Coastal Commission and ARB approvals have been obtained.
It is desirable to maintain the existing location of the beach
restroom in order to retain the current spacing of restrooms at
1,000 foot intervals. The proposed renovation is not expected to
preclude any future proposed options for improvements to the
beach area between Bay Street and the Pier.
