Board approves adding one exterior restroom to Ag wash room project
Summary
Trustees approved amending the Patton & Hightower bid to add one exterior, handicap-accessible restroom to the Ag wash room at a quoted additional cost of $9,000; staff will coordinate plumbing options and accessibility requirements before concrete work begins.
Trustee Lorenzo Tavarez raised the need to include restrooms in the Ag Wash Room project and detailed two quotes presented by Patton & Hightower: $9,500 to add two restrooms inside the existing design or $9,000 for a single exterior restroom (concrete, metal building and roof). Board discussion covered placement of doors, a locking unisex arrangement for after-hours security, handicap accessibility requirements, and whether to tie into the existing septic system or install a new one.
Patton & Hightower representatives explained they could not guarantee pump performance if plumbing ran several hundred yards to the existing septic system, and that concrete work could not proceed until plumbing locations are finalized. The board approved the bid amendment to add one exterior restroom; staff will coordinate plumbing and accessibility plans and finalize the work sequence.
