Considerations

• the current Stevens bathrooms are not nice
• we would like the new bathrooms to be nice.
• do not be constrained by current "overly cozy" layout
  • unisex layout
  • trough sink
• water is very expensive
  • plumb with the ability to integrate future gray water system
• heated cement floor would be nice
• partition walls for bath/stalls.

Jason's Presentation to Board

• The bathrooms were brought inside Stevens Lodge in 1977. Minor cosmetic and mechanical have been updates since that time. We have plumbing that is failing and flooring and structural members that are rotting and need replacing. Ventilation and heating the space safely is also an issue that will be addressed by this project.
• Bids: We are in the process of receiving bids. We expect the project to have a total cost of $70-100K. We will be reusing/up cycling our low-flow toilets and urinal. Our goal is to come in at or under $70K. We have one bid for $72K and one bid for only demolition and rough-in (framing, structural, and flooring) for $9.5K.
• Funding request: We are requesting a 60/40 spilt, with the organization carrying 60% of the total cost and Stevens Lodge self supporting and or fundraising 40%.
• Timeline: We want funding approval by April 1st 2022 so that we can complete fundraising and schedule contractor(s). The project is expected to begin in late June or early July and be done no later than August 1st. This will allow us to open for PCT season.
