Contractors sought for beach bathroom renovations
The Department of Parks is looking to potentially upgrade public restrooms at three beaches on the South Shore.
A request for proposals, published on the government procurement website this week, sought qualified and experienced contractors to make submissions for the renovation of restrooms at Warwick Long Bay, Chaplin Bay and Church Bay.
The RFP said: “The works are intended to improve the functionality, accessibility, safety and overall condition of these facilities and shall include, but not be limited to, demolition, site preparation, excavation, construction, plumbing, electrical installations, carpentry, interior and exterior finishes and external works.”
Documents included in the RFP said the contractors must also account for the public nature of the surrounding park and implement measures to minimise disruption, maintain public safety and protect infrastructure and vegetation.
The documents proposed full renovations of all three restrooms, including replacing the holding tanks and installing outdoor showers and concrete benches at the sites.
At Warwick Long Bay and Church Bay, the work would include replacing portable toilets at the site with new plumbing fixtures, while pathways to all three restrooms would be improved.
Submissions should be sent to the Ministry of Public Works and Environment by 3pm on December 11 with agreements expected to be executed by January 15.
