Background Information
Due to structural damages sustained from Tropical Storm Elsa in July 2021 the City of North Port was required to close the Warm Mineral Spring Park restroom/locker room building to the public. In order to keep the facility operational and open to the public a ten-stall restroom trailer, an American with Disabilities Act (ADA) restroom, and hand washing station were procured and located at the Warm Mineral Springs Park. Although funds were not budgeted for this expense, the available repair and maintenance budget was initially utilized. Staff intended to have the temporary restroom facilities transition to permanent restroom facilities included in a future construction contract associated with Project #WM19BR Warm Mineral Springs Restoration. However, after competitively bidding Project #WM19BR, the sole bid received was nearly double the funds allocated for this project. As such, during the City Commission Budget Workshop held on June 16, 2022, the Commission provided the following consensuses:
Ø Consensus for staff to get with Kimley Horn for cost of Phase 1A which is the utilities on Ortiz and Trionfo in the Springs and Building 2 at a special meeting for action sooner rather than later.
Ø Consensus to have staff proceed pursuing a P3 partner.
Staff was directed by the Commission to fund the rental restrooms through the remainder of fiscal year 2022. Accordingly, It is requested that $60,000 be added to account no. 125-3036-572-44-00, Rentals and Leases budget. This request will be funded from additional admission revenues. As of June 9, 2022, the admission revenue account is $116,771 over the approved budget.
