6.D. - Page 4 of 170 6. Steel wrapped fascia: Wood fascia, the norm for park restrooms, weather and deteriorate early due to sun exposure. PRC wraps the fascia/rake trim with 12 gauges steel (or builds with steel tubing) which eliminates this cost. Staff recommends entering into an agreement with PRC to purchase a prefabricated ADA restroom facility by piggybacking off of the City of Los Angeles' procurement process. Staff believe that the findings under Section 2.80 may be made for the following reasons: 1. Staff has reviewed the City of Los Angeles' competitive bidding process, and confirmed that their competitive bidding requirements are substantially equivalent to those required by the City Charter or the Purchasing Ordinance of the City. 2. Staff reviewed the pricing for services obtained by the City of Los Angeles and found the prices to be competitive and reasonable, ensuring value is obtained for the City. FISCAL IMPACT When acquiring equipment, the City follows certain purchasing provisions provided in Article VII of Chapter 2 of the Redwood City Municipal Code (Purchasing Ordinance). The Purchasing Ordinance provides for competitive bidding so that the City may get the best possible benefit. However, as described above, the Purchasing Ordinance recognizes that in certain situations, alternative procedures such as a cooperative purchasing program may be warranted. The prefabricated restroom facility is designated for a playground that is open to children of all abilities and is largely funded by donations. The City has worked very closely with the Magical Bridge Foundation, and they have secured nearly $3 million in corporate, foundation and individual donations. Currently, $5,553,436.00 is available for construction to Bothman Construction, which was awarded a contract by the City Council on September 18, 2018. Removing the prefabricated ADA restroom facility from the base bid and supplying the facility directly from PRC will save the City $50,000.00. Staff's recommendation includes approving the appropriation of $226,357.00 from the Park Impact Fees Fund to acquire this specialized prefabricated ADA restroom facility. There is currently $3.17M that is unappropriated in the Park Impact Fees Fund. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW This project is exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under CEQA Guidelines Sections 15302 (Replacement or Reconstruction) and 15303 (New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures) because the installation of this small prefabricated restroom facility is replacing an existing restroom structure and facility at the same location. The entire Red Morton Magical Bridge Playground project is categorically exempt from the requirements of CEQA per Sections 15302, 15304, and 15311 because it consists of the replacement and reconstruction of existing facilities along with minor alterations to the park land and the construction of new accessory park structures.
