The Hood River City Council deviated last week from its normal
public bidding process to gain a 50-percent price reduction on
construction of a new waterfront restroom.
The elected body granted the work contract Nov. 24 to Scott
Sorensen Construction and Common Energy LLC. The two local
companies offered to design and construct a restroom at the
shoreline park for $50,000. Their plan is to contribute services,
seek out as many donated materials as possible and enlist
volunteers for labor.
Bob Francis, city manger, said it cost $175,000 to build a similar
restroom at Jackson Park two years ago. That facility is located
at the junction of 13th and May streets.
