City to proceed with Canal Park Stadium restroom overhaul; low bid from Cavanaugh Construction recommended, council suspension of rules approved
Summary
The public service committee reviewed planned restroom renovations at Canal Park Stadium, including new epoxy floors, partitions, ADA fixtures and hand sinks; staff reported the low bid from Cavanaugh Construction and asked to suspend council rules to award the contract; the committee voted to suspend rules and move the item forward.
Public service staff told the committee that work at Canal Park Stadium will gut and renovate the public restrooms on the main concourse, with new epoxy floors, repainting, replacement of partitions, ADA-compliant fixtures and new hand sinks and hand dryers; existing water closets would be retained and reused.
The director’s office reported it had bid the project and that the low bidder was Cavanaugh Construction. Staff asked the committee to suspend council rules to expedite award so work could proceed; staff said they conducted a seasonal schedule and earlier lighting upgrades were done by city crews.
Committee members asked about water- and energy-saving fixtures; staff replied that the project would include motion-detect fixtures to save water. A council member asked whether the project would make all restrooms gender neutral; staff said the concourse restrooms would remain men's and women's with one family restroom available, and that the administration is considering gender-neutral restroom conversions in the municipal building where appropriate.
The committee moved to suspend the rules with a favorable report so the contract process could proceed; members voted in favor with no recorded opposition. Staff indicated construction will begin after award, with the goal of completing the project ahead of or during the next stadium season.
