SUMMARY:
On September 17, 2020, Council approved the use of thirteen firms to serve as construction managers for the City under RFQ 40-20 and Khors Construction, Inc., was selected as one of the approved firms.
The Ross Norton Complex and Swimming pool provide recreational opportunities for residents in the southwestern portion of Clearwater predominately the Lake Belleview Community. The pool includes an interactive water playground, large water slide, eight-lane 50-yard pool and 10-foot diving well. The pool was installed in the seventies and has seen many repairs and improvements over the years. It is once again time to make needed repairs and renovations to the pool.
On March 16, 2021, purchase order no. 21000626 in the amount of $72,141.30 was issued to Khors Construction, Inc. to perform some of the maintenance items needed in order to open the swimming pool for the 2021 summer swim season.
This proposal is for the completion of the major renovation items which could not be completed prior to this summer. Included in the proposal is the removal and replacement of the diving pool beam, leveling of pool gutter, demolition and replacement of all pool tiles and targets, removal and replacement of floor drains, install hydrazo pool surface on all pool surfaces, replace mechanical chemical feeder systems, remove and replace all decking surface, replace interactive pool features, etc. With this increase, the amount for renovations at the Ross Norton Aquatic Complex will total $521,218.81.
This is a 120-day contract which will begin after the close of the pool in September and be completed by February 2022.
Staff is recommending the transfer of $136,000.00 from Park Amenities CIP 93635 to Swimming Pool R&R CIP 93271 so that construction can begin as soon as the pool closes in September. The transfer of these funds will in no way affect the remaining park amenities that need to be purchased in FY 2020/21.
APPROPRIATION CODE AND AMOUNT: Funds are available in capital improvement project 315-93271, Swimming Pool R&R, $313,077.51 and 315-93635 Park Amenities $136,000.00.
