Body
SUMMARY:
This contract includes the complete overhaul of the pump room and pumping systems, including new pumps, motors, filtration, UV filter, chemical feeders, tank refurbishment as well as hydro blasting and installing a new surface and tiles for the main pool and therapeutic pool and a new gutter and drainage system for the therapeutic pool.
Khors Construction, Inc. was selected to do this work under the Construction Manager at Risk contract as they have experience in large pool renovations.

Construction will take 20 weeks to complete and the pool will be closed from June 12 to November 30. All existing swim programs and teams will use other outdoor pools during this time, primarily Morningside Aquatics Center.
During the pool closure the lighting systems in the natatorium will be replaced under a separate contract.
