BACKGROUND: The Albert Park Athletic Field and Stadium, located between Andersen Drive, Albert Park Lane, and Lindaro Street, has been in place since 1950. The ballfield is used by local school sports teams and by the semi-professional Pacifics baseball team. The stadium lacks accessible features and does not accommodate persons with disabilities. The ballpark is lacking an ADA Accessible ramp for patrons to access the bleachers and does not have fully accessible restrooms for users of all abilities. Therefore, Staff recommends that the Council award a construction project to McNabb Construction Inc. for the installation of a prefabricated ADA restroom building and accessible ramp to provide access to the bleacher seating at the stadium so that users of all abilities have equal access to this City owned facility. The project consists of the installation of a new prefabricated restroom, installation of utilities, flatwork, ADA ramp, and other miscellaneous site features to comply with ADA requirements. In January, 2021, the City Manager previously authorized staff to enter into a contract with BKF Engineers to design the ADA improvements. BKF, with approval of City staff, determined that a prefabricated bathroom with four separate stalls was the most cost-effective way to provide accessible restroom facilities at Albert Park. The prefabricated facility was purchased under a separate agreement. This project will construct the underlying concrete slab and utilities SAN RAFAEL CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT / Page: 2 required to place the building on its foundation. The restroom will be delivered and lowered into place. The project will also erect an aluminum accessibility ramp to the bleachers. On January 11, 2022, the project was advertised in accordance with San Rafael’s Municipal Code.

City staff recommends awarding the construction contract to McNabb Construction Inc. for the amount bid, and also recommends the City Council authorize a construction contingency of approximately ten percent in an amount of $20,116, for a total authorized amount of $205,000.
