e e Department: Parks & Recreation Exhibits: 1. Sealed Bid #718 - Replaster/Retile of Little Cedar Bayou Wave Pool - Rebid Bidder's List 2. SUMMARY & RECOMMENDATION The City of La Porte has requested sealed bids for replaster/retile of the City of La Porte, Little Cedar Bayou Wave Pool. Sealed Bids were mailed to nine vendors. Bids were opened on September 8, 1997. Two bids were received. The project was bid in sections with a base bid including Item 1) Pool Surface Preparation; and Item 4) Replaster Pool Surface. Item 2) Crack Repair; Item 3) Retiling; and Options 1-4) (see Bid Tabulation) are to be completed on an As Needed basis. Progressive Chemicals Inc., a reputable pool service company, has submitted low base bid for Items 1 & 3, meeting specifications for this project. Base bid for Item 1) is $31,230.06 and for Item 4) of $39,734.00 for a total base bid by Progressive Chemicals Inc., of $70,964.06. Additional work specified in the bid, and required to complete the project, will be computed on an as-needed basis. There is evidence that there are some cracks under the surface of the pool plaster that need to be addressed; however, we will not know how extensive those cracks are until the plaster is removed. In addition, some of the cracks may penetrate under the tile lane markers, border tiles, and coping around the pool. If this occurs then some (or all) of the tile and coping may require replacement. The bid identifies unit costs for replacement of tile, coping, as well as crack repair and coating above the waterline. The extent of needed repairs will be identified and negotiated with the vendor as they become apparent during the course of the project. Staff recommends the award of a the base bid for replaster/retile of the Little Cedar Bayou Wave Pool in the amount of $70,964.06 to Progressive Chemicals Inc., with additional charges to be computed on an as needed basis, not to exceed Ninety Eight Thousand Dollars ($98,000.00).
