Addendum # 1
RFP 9999 Prefabricated Vault Restroom with Utilities for Schoolside Park Page 2 of 3
Exhibit 1 – Questions and Answers
1- Is air conditioning required for the restrooms?
Response: We do not require air conditioning; However, ventilation and heating to keep
the building above freezing temperatures should be included.
2- Do you require automatic door opener for ADA applications, or will manual doors be
acceptable?
Response: Manual door closers are acceptable; Doors shall meet ADA and ANSI
A117.1 requirements for maximum opening force.
3- Do you require exterior surveillance cameras?
Response: No, surveillance cameras are not required.
4- Do you require an automated cleaning system?
Response: No, we do not want an automated cleaning system. Parks maintenance staff
will use a hose to spray down / clean the interior of the restrooms.
5- Any there any other special requirements that are not called out in the RFP?
Response:
• Please note the City of Fort Collins currently requires compliance with the
ADA and 2017 ANSI A117.1. Whenever ADA is noted, the most stringent
requirements between the two codes shall apply. For example, the 2017
ANSI increased the minimum turning space required for wheelchairs in
new buildings. The City is also planning to adopt newer versions of the
International family of Codes sometime in 2025.
• An ADA and ANSI A117.1 compliant hand dryer should be provided
inside both of the restrooms.
• Both water and electrical services will be provided for the restroom
structure.
• Please identify the vault capacity in your proposal; we prefer a capacity of
1300 gallons or greater.
• We prefer a single vault that is below grade and easily accessible for
pumping.
• 150 amp panel and service to be provided by the city.
• We prefer CMU block walls with concrete walls on the interior of the
facility.
• Exterior façade to allow for finishes to match the custom picnic shelter
materials / style.
• We anticipated the restroom facility footprint to be less than or equal to
300 sf in size.
6- Will you require the Restroom Provider to build and prepare the foundation?
Addendum # 1
RFP 9999 Prefabricated Vault Restroom with Utilities for Schoolside Park Page 3 of 3
Response: We prefer the restroom provider to build and prepare the foundation. If you
do not provide these services and need for the project GC to provide the foundation,
please make that clear in your proposal.
7- Is there a certain light fixture you would like specified in which meets the night sky and color
temperature requirements?
Response: We don’t have a standard light fixture that we use for our park restrooms. We
are happy to collaborate with the selected vendor to specify light fixtures.
8- Should we assume that the restroom will meet Colorado energy code since heat is merely
for freeze protection as opposed to comfort?
Response: Heat is to be provided to protect the structure and utilities from freezing. The
restroom should comply with Colorado and City of Fort Collins energy code
requirements.
9- Is it suitable to substitute cove heaters and an ERV system for freeze protection in place of
a heat pump system? The combination of the ERV and cove heater is much more cost
effective, both to purchase and maintain.
Response: We would prefer to stay with the heat pump system that is outlined in the
RFP.
10- Can you please clarify the line in the RFP that says, “Water delivery for flushing toilets,
sinks, urinals and maintenance/cleaning.” Per your specifications this restroom will be
connected to water, therefore not requiring water delivery.
Response: A ¾-inch commercial water tap will provide a direct water line connection to
the restroom facility. A water storage tank is not required, since a water line connection
will be provided. Toilets, sinks and urinals should be connected to the water source so
that they all operate with water.
