SUMMARY:

 

Award of the construction contract to Aguilar & Calderon Corporation for the Ted Craig Regional Park Restroom No. 8 Replacement Project will enhance park visitor experience with added restroom capacity and provide stalls with greater accessibility in compliance with the current Americans with Disabilities Act standards.

 

 

 

BACKGROUND INFORMATION:

 

First opened in 1974, the Ted Craig Regional Park (TCRP), named after a long-time public servant, is a 124-acre County of Orange (County) park located in the City of Fullerton. The TCRP overlooks Fullerton Dam and offers large picnic areas, multiple playgrounds, sports fields and courts, a fishing lake and trails for biking and hiking. Restroom No. 8, which is an original amenity of TCRP, has deteriorated from wear and tear and needs replacement.

 

OC Public Works negotiated a contract with GA Design, Inc. to develop plans and specifications for the TCRP Restroom No. 8 Replacement Project (Project). The existing restroom is 714-feet, was constructed in 1974 and is not up to current Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) standards. The facility features one side for women with three stalls and another side for men with two stalls and two urinals. This Project demolishes the old restroom and provides for a new 711-square-foot restroom building that will consist of eight unisex stalls, including four stalls in compliance with ADA. The Project entirely reconfigures the layout of Restroom No. 8 to enhanced privacy and provide more accommodations as well as a more pleasant experience for park visitors.

 

On February 17, 2021, OC Public Works issued contractor Pre-Qualification documents through the County online bidding system. Nine contractors responded and were pre-qualified and continued to the next step. On March 10, 2021, OC Public Works issued an Invitation for Bid to the nine pre-qualified contractors for the Project. OC Public Works received five bids; one was deemed nonresponsive. A full summary of the four responsive bids received can be found in the Bid Summary as Attachment B.

 

The following summarizes the four responsive bids received on March 31, 2021, and provides a comparison against the Engineer’s Estimate (EE):

The lowest responsive and responsible bid submitted by Aguilar & Calderon Corporation (Contractor) for this Project is approximately 14 percent below the EE of $599,738.
