Renovation
We are excited to announce a number
of updates to the plans! The entire
floor in both locker rooms will be replaced and re-sloped. The new floor will be a gritty, epoxy like
substance which is currently in favor with pool locker rooms. We feel it will be less slippery and should
stay cleaner.
We had a concern about hooks in
lockers and their ability to hold adult clothing. We have confirmed that hooks are deep (so
they should hold the clothing) and additional hooks will be installed in the
lockers. We were unable to get any full
sized-locker configurations, however.
It may be possible to move the ADA
area closer to the entrance. We have
sent a letter of support to the city/school to get it moved and make the locker
room truly more accessible.
Some further explanations were
provided by city staff for some of our questions:
Both the
men’s and the women’s rooms have two floor drains and one clean out (The men’s
drain system also connects to a cleanout.)
The new shower drains will meet CA building code and were approved by
the State architect, and they exceed the fixture requirement per drain
size. Similar shower heads are currently
in place at Washington Pool. A vertical 18” stainless steel grab bar will be
installed on the wall adjacent to the shower.
There will be three hair /hand dryers in each restroom. The benches will
be of the same width and in the same locations.
The lockers list is: 26 Z-lockers, 22 half lockers, 12 personal lockers
and 36 cubbies. Lock hasps will receive
standard padlocks and combination locks. There will be two above counter
outlets at each vanity. The city will work with the district to explore adding
exterior outlets. The work will be warrantied for 12-months for workmanship and
the installed products of course each come with warranties. The new Zurn shower trench drain system and
lockers are designed to last the lifespan of the building. The shower valve
life expectancy is also based on normal wear and tear and generally a rebuild
of these is necessary after 24-36 months.
The faucets will need to be adjusted throughout the life of the
faucet. In regards to the contracts,
there are no incentives or recourse for either finishing early or for
delay. The city will review the cost
elements in the contract before the contracted is executed.
We thank the city’s Community
Services Department and Public Works Department for their diligence on all of
these items and look forward to their participation all the way through. We thank the Fremont Union High School
District for providing the site for aquatics and for leading this renovation
project.

Final Note - Construction begins
June 9th and we will be directed to use the school’s boys and girls
locker rooms for the summer.
The city informed us that the boys and girls locker
rooms will be cleaned out following the last day of school on June 5th. After August 11th, alternative
locker rooms will be available on site.
We are very pleased with this progress! Everyone will work together cooperatively to
ensure smooth transitions and relationships!!!
