Through the quality-of-life sales tax initiative, Langrehr Field bathrooms were set to be a project from the Capital Improvement Plan in 2025 with a total cost of $200,000. With the recent decision of tabling the Brit Spaugh Park addition, the city is proposing to move the ballfield project up to this year.

Great Bend staff obtained a Sourcewell quote from preferred vendor CXT. The model is 10' x 17' and has two single user, fully accessible flush restrooms. Set up at the site, the city has added options for electric hand dryers, exterior mounted ADA drinking fountain and timed electric lock system.
The total quote comes with shipping and engineering fees at $90,093. This does not include site preparation, rough-in plumbing, sidewalks or connections to utilities. The city looks to place the prefabricated restrooms just to the north of Langrehr Field to tie into the sewer on 2nd Street.
The Great Bend City Council will be presented a motion to approve the purchase of the restroom facility at the upcoming meeting on Monday, May 6. The meeting begins at 6:30 p.m. inside City Hall.
