Background:
Staff was directed to coordinate a design and construction project to add an additional restroom and storage building on the west end of Bear Creek Park. The restroom and storage building was purchased and is currently in the process of being installed. Additional improvements to be made include the connection of a sanitary sewer and water line to the new restroom facility, along with connection of the adjacent sidewalks to the park trail system.
A design was developed by the engineering firm of Thomas Hoover Engineering, LLC, and issued for competitive bidding in August, 2019. Eight bids were received on September 10, 2019 with Flow Line Utilities, Inc. of Dallas, Texas submitting the lowest bid meeting specifications. Both the site layout and bid summary are attached for review.

The additional restroom project was budgeted and approved by the Keller Development Corporation in the amount of $240,000 and has been on the CIP list of projects since 2018. The cost of the building itself was $201,917.77. Design and Engineering Services for the water and sewer connections were $13,500. The electrical connections were $3,000.
