Council awards contract for Benrooks Skate Park parking and restroom
Summary
The council unanimously approved a contract award for phase 2 of the Benrooks Skate Park improvements — primarily a parking lot and new restroom — funded in part by proceeds from an R Avenue property sale; presenter said the low bid came in about $310,000 with a CXT restroom unit estimated around $190,000, for a total project cost roughly $570,000.
The Anacortes City Council voted to award the contract for the Benrooks Skate Park parking lot and restroom project at its Aug. 3 meeting.
Parks presenter (identified in the meeting as Mr. Fox) told the council this is phase 2 of the Benrooks Skate Park improvements along R Avenue and described project funding coming from proceeds of the R Avenue right-of-way sale to MJB (approximately $1,000,000). He said the city contracted McKay Spizzito for design work (about $70,000) and that an engineer's estimate was read aloud in the meeting as “about $3.82” (the transcript phrasing was unclear). The low construction bid reported in the meeting was roughly $310,000 and a CXT restroom unit was quoted at about $190,000, yielding a stated project total near $570,000.
Councilmember Fantini moved to approve the contract award; the motion was seconded and the council voted in favor. The contract award was described in the meeting transcript as going to Colicarcio (also rendered as Cola Curcio) Brothers; the transcript contains both spellings. Mr. Fox said the project will relocate the restroom closer to park activity and provide parking so parents and guardians can wait safely nearby.
Councilmembers asked brief clarifying questions about signage and Americans with Disabilities Act parking requirements; Mr. Fox said the city will apply the standard ADA parking formula for the lot. With no further discussion, the council approved the award.
What happens next: staff will execute the contract and schedule construction; project costs and timelines will be contained within the proceeds available from the R Avenue sale and the project budget.
