RE: Proposed new Restroom Building
Van Buren Park
Bob Freeman,
I have reviewed the pricing on this project in order to bring down the cost of the new restroom
building from the original bid amount to a figure the city could live with.
As you know, we have taken out any pricing for any work that does not pertain to just the new
restroom building that would be located across the street from the old swimming pool.
The design and integrity of the building has stayed the same. I'll list the items below we
did some changing in materials to save some money.
Concrete: The building concrete itself was left alone, however, we took out the concrete
parking surface and replaced it with just gravel or SB-2.There will still be one concrete
parking spot for handicap accessibility.
The metal roofing was deleted and replaced by architectural shingles.
Phenolic core toilet partitions doors to be replaced with solid plastic doors, which are probably
stronger anyway.
The stainless steel toilet fixtures were replaced with white vitreous china with the exception
of the exterior drinking fountain, which would move to a new location on the building.
The price for this new restroom building and parking with utilities would be : $140,443.00.
If you wish to change the exterior drinking fountain to normal steel you could deduct an
additional $2,000.00.
If I can be of service, please let me know.
Sincerely,
HOBBS CONSTRUCTION COMPANY, INC.
RANDALL G. HOBBS
