Body
BACKGROUND:
The City advertised Bid No. 2024-002 - Calypso Cove Aquatic Center Improvements on December 26, 2023. Bid packages were distributed to eighteen (18) potential bidders. However, no bids were received prior to the bid submission deadline of 11:00 AM on January 25, 2024. After the passing of the submission deadline, staff engaged pool contractor Sammet Pools, Inc. in discussions related to potentially providing a proposal for the critical portion of the necessary work and thus facilitating completion of that scope of work in time for the regularly scheduled summertime facility opening.
Sammet Pools was the initial subcontractor for the pool facilities at Calypso Cove when the new facility was constructed. Staff has reviewed the proposal from the contractor to complete the necessary work and feels that moving forward with the recommended award of the work to Sammet Pools, Inc. is the most efficient and cost-effective method of proceeding with the project at this time.
RECOMMENDATION: Approve
FISCAL IMPACT: $165,000 plus a 20% additional allowance for possible pool deck expansion
Acct. No. 335-6530-572.65-81
