20-107 - Touch-Free Park Restroom Conversions

The El Paso County Parks is a system of twenty-seven (27) Parks, Trails, Open Spaces and Facilities located across the entirety of El Paso County. Many of these locations offer hydration stations and restroom facilities. In response to COVID-19, El Paso County Parks (County) is seeking to convert all toilets, urinals, faucets, hand dryers and hydration stations to touch-free, sensor-operated systems, as well as install auto timer door locks to restroom doors.
 
All fixtures and systems will be ADA compliant and subject to any applicable codes and regulations.
   
The CARES (Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security) Act established the Coronavirus Relief Fund and appropriated funding to the Fund for state and local government relief.  The County received a direct allocation of federal funds from the CARES Act in order to cover necessary expenditures incurred due to the public health emergency with respect to the Coronavirus (COVID-19).
