Wixom council approves $319,607 prefabricated restroom for Gunnar Mattala Park
Summary
Council authorized purchase and installation of a prefabricated restroom through Sourcewell cooperative contract with the Public Restroom Company at a cost of $319,607; remaining park improvements (pavilions, path) are being bid separately.
The City Council authorized participation in a Sourcewell cooperative purchasing contract to acquire and install a prefabricated restroom at Gunnar Mattala Park for $319,607, using the Public Restroom Company of Minden, Nevada.
Parks staff (Miss McGee) said the purchase is a turnkey, prefabricated unit; the rest of the park improvements — two pavilions and a walking path — will be bid separately in a second solicitation. Councilmembers asked about the appearance; staff said the vendor offers upgraded finishes (stone base, varied roof options) and programmable automatic locks.
Members asked about demolition of the existing restroom and the adjacent display gazebo; staff said removal of the current restroom and the deteriorated display case is included in the broader second bid. Council asked staff to confirm whether the prefab unit is rated for commercial vandal resistance; staff said it is designed to meet commercial and vandal‑resistant specifications.
Council approved the staff recommendation by voice vote.
