PROJECT SCOPE Description: The scope of this project includes architectural and engineering services for a new single- story public restroom building within Railroad Square in downtown New Port Richey with the design intent appearing similar to a railroad station which has been previously approved during the schematic design imaging phase. The building will include 6 total water closets as well as a storage space for equipment to be used during events by the City of New Port Richey. The building is anticipated to occupy a portion of the existing parking area adjacent to the Missouri Avenue parklet and will include associated utility connections, accessible routes, grading, pavement markings and golf cart parking modifications, and immediate site restoration. The architectural character will be coordinated with the CRA to complement the recently completed Railroad Square improvements. Design Considerations: I. Site Integration: Locate the building and associated improvements to maintain safe circulation, preserve the function of Railroad Square, and coordinate revised golf cart parking within the immediate project area. II. ADA Compliance and Accessibility: Provide an accessible route to the building and design public toilet rooms, entrances, fixtures, clearances, signage, and related site elements to comply with applicable accessibility requirements. III. Structural Design: Design a shallow foundation and single-story superstructure anticipated to consist of load-bearing masonry walls with wood or light-gauge metal roof trusses, based on the geotechnical recommendations and applicable Florida Building Code wind loads. IV. Building Systems: Coordinate plumbing, mechanical ventilation, electrical power, lighting, emergency systems, and energy-code requirements appropriate for a durable public restroom facility.
