Executive Summary
The 2400 OFW Beach Restroom Replacement Project would complete the City's
commitment to upgrading and bringing public restroom facilities into compliance with the
Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) in accordance with the California Department of
Parks and Recreation (State Parks) Consent Decree. The project would remove the
existing non-compliant facility, and provide new, fully compliant restroom facilities and
associated amenities. Staff recommends G2K Construction, Inc. for the 2400 OFW
Beach Restroom Replacement Project, for construction of the project at a cost not to
exceed $711,700.
Background
In accordance with the State Parks Consent Decree (2006), the City has committed to
upgrading and bringing public restroom facilities at State Parks into compliance with the
ADA. In the summer of 2011, the City completed construction on seven ADA -compliant
beach public restroom facilities. The project received the "2011 Project of the Year
Award' for public facilities from the Southern California Chapter of the American Public
Works Association.
E
During construction of the seven ADA -compliant beach public restroom facilities in
2011, replacement of the facility at 2400 Ocean Front Walk was placed on hold to allow
for further assessment. On June 12, 2012, Council approved a professional services
agreement with Adrian-Gaus to design the replacement of a number of the public
restroom facilities including the facility at 2400 Ocean Front Walk. On November 28
2012, a design update report was presented to Council. The planned facility is now to
be replaced at its current site east of the bike path in order to preserve view corridors.
