22893 1. Bid Award to Tiger Construction for the Boulevard Park Restroom p. 3
Improvement Project, Bid No. 61B-2020
This project includes a new restroom building that will replace and exceed the
services lost due to the closure of the north restroom building. The new building
will be located at the south end of the park near the coffee shop. Constructed in
1979, the existing restroom structure at the north end of the park was closed to
the public in 2016 due to damaged utilities. The old restroom building is also
located in a frequently flooded and contaminated area.
Pinky Vargas moved to recommend approval.
