DISCUSSION:
On Sept. 7, 2016, the County of Humboldt entered into a Consent Decree with the United States Department of Justice that required the commencement of the Humboldt County Americans with Disabilities Act Compliance Project. The purpose of the Humboldt County ADA Compliance Project is to bring all facilities owned and/or leased by the County of Humboldt that provide programs, services and activities to the public into compliance with the ADA. The Humboldt County Courthouse Restrooms ADA Modification Project is part of this compliance effort.
On July 28, 2020, the County of Humboldt entered into a consultant services agreement with Nichols, Melburg, and Rossetto Architects (NMR) to design ADA improvements and modernize the public restrooms in the Humboldt County Courthouse.
The project consisted of full renovations and modernizations of all 20 public restrooms in the courthouse including remediation of all barriers to access as defined under the ADA in a minimum of two gender-specific restrooms on each floor in the building, converting two multiuser restrooms located at the third-floor elevator vestibule into two single user all-gender restrooms with one being made fully compliant with the ADA and full renovations to the remaining six non-ADA restrooms located on the first, second and third floors.
On May 23, 2023, your Board authorized the award of the project to Adams Commercial General Contracting, Inc (ACGC). Eureka, California for the total award amount of $2,185,849.00.
On Aug. 20, 2024, the first change order was issued for ACGC. in the amount of $62,990.90. This change order included adjustments such as credits for drinking fountains and mirrors, relocation of the sprinkler system, additional baby changing stations, plumbing repairs on the ground and third floors, light fixture changes, wall-mount occupancy sensors, water damage and other deferred maintenance repairs. It also covered the replacement of rotten floor drains, additional partition supports, power for a powered door on the fourth floor and the addition of access hatches in several locations.
On Oct. 14, 2024, the second change order was issued for ACGC in the amount of $49,686.73. This change order included the addition of toilet seats, plumbing and deferred maintenance repairs, additional light fixtures, restroom leak wall repairs and a flooring change in the elevator vestibule.
On Apr. 30, 2025, the third change order was issued in the amount of $709.94. This change order included labor and materials to provide and install an alternate sink and faucet in the Board of Supervisors breakroom.
