body
Background:
The improvements at Woodward Park’s Splash Pad Phase II - Restroom Relocation, specifically addressing the relocation of the existing restroom facility under Capital Improvement Project (CIP 24086). Rather than demolishing the current restroom structure, the project will involve its relocation to the opposite side of the existing basin to better serve the community and accommodate increased usage during events and high-traffic periods when deemed necessary. Phase II portion of work will include relocation of the existing restroom structure, retaining wall, site fencing, connection to existing utilities (sewer, water and electrical), concrete pavement improvements, and landscape restoration.
As part of Woodward Park Splash Pad (Phase I / CIP 24086), a new, modern restroom facility is currently being constructed at the location of the existing restroom. The original building will be preserved and relocated to supplement restroom capacity at the park. The repurposing of the existing structure supports sustainability goals by reducing material waste and minimizing the need for new construction.
To expedite the project, the Project Plans, Specifications and Cost Estimate were prepared by an outside consultant. City Staff will provide construction management support for this project to optimize expenditure of local funds with some support from an outside consultant for special inspections.
On May 6, 2025, City Council authorized a Call for Construction Bids and approved the Plans, Specifications, and Estimate, for this Project.
Two bids were received and opened on May 29, 2025:
