Council-approved $850,000 bathroom and playground design at 65%; committee cautions schedule risk
Summary
Staff reported City Council approved a new bathroom option (supplier Romtek) with a reported budget of $850,000 and that playground design is about 65% complete. The committee raised concern that missed design milestones could push construction out of the summer window, delaying work to next fall.
Staff told the committee that City Council has approved Romtek as the supplier and chosen a new bathroom option rather than a remodel; the meeting record states "the approved budget for the bathroom is 850,000." Staff said the procurement still requires contractor selection by bid and that council awarding of the construction contract is expected at a future meeting.
On the playground, staff reported the design is about 65% complete; previously planned milestones (90% submission) were missed. Committee members and staff warned that missing design milestones risks losing the summer construction window used by playground contractors and could push construction to the following fall. Staff said final pricing, supply and contractor conversations are scheduled for the November council meeting and that staff will report back when more status information is available.
Committee members asked staff to follow up with project lead Robert to determine a revised schedule and to provide the committee an updated timeline that aligns council award with contractor availability. No formal vote on awarding contracts occurred during this committee meeting.
