Resolution 7 Ordinance NCIL AGENDA ITEM Department: Parks & Recreation Sealed Bid #0725 - Plaster Renovation of Fairmont Park Pool and the Recreation & Fitness Center Pool Bid Tabulation and Bidder's List SUMMARY & RECOMMENDATION The City of La Porte has requested sealed bids for plaster renovation of the City of La Porte, Fairmont Park Pool and the Recreation & Fitness Center Pool. Sealed Bids were mailed to ten vendors. Bids were opened on January 12, 1998. Four bids were received. . The project was bid in sections with a base bid including Item 1) Pool Surface Preparation; and Item 3) Replaster Pool Surface. Item 2) Crack Repair; Item 4) Retiling; and Options 1-2) (see Bid Tabulation) are to be completed on an As Needed basis. Quality Pool and Management, 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 &4 for the RFC Pool is $11,132; Item 1 &3 for Fairmont Park Pool is $20,486.75 for a total base bid by Quality Pool and Management, Inc., of $31,618.75. 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 may be 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 contractor as they become apparent during the course of the project.
