The City of Martinez previously worked with Romtec on the Golden Hills Park project and we kept in communication with the city about future project needs.
After some time, the city and Tanaka Design Group needed a restroom and concession building for their Hidden Lakes Park Project. We worked with both entities to plan the layout and design of the building.
The key features of building include a concession room, multi-user men’s and women’s restrooms, gable vents, exhaust fan, split face CMU block, standing seam metal roof, mechanical room, 6′-8″ X 4′-0″ aluminum roll up concession door with a service window and stainless-steel countertop.
The architect was Tanaka Design Group who provides creative landscape architectural services, from urban design to open space solutions based in San Francisco, California.
The installing Contractor was Suarez & Munoz Construction for this Hidden Lakes Park project. The Suarez & Munoz team performed well with installing the Romtec building and provides construction services and management based out of Hayward, CA.
The city was satisfied with the outcome as well as the process. The Romtec project and construction management were very responsive throughout the project and process, making the city very happy in the end.
Romtec was pleased to work with the City of Martinez on another park project that was designed with a layout to accommodate large events and sports tournaments at the Hidden Lakes Park including providing a concession window that can provide refreshments during tournaments.
