On January 10, 2017 bids were opened for the purpose of constructing a replacement operations building at Rose Park Pool. This project would replace the existing building damaged by fire in March 2016.  There were 7 bidders, Dick Anderson Construction, Inc. was the apparent low bidder with a base bid of $1,856,600.00.  This amount exceed the budgeted amount for the project.  Two factors contributed to the overage.  First,  there was a tight construction window to have the new facility ready for the 2017 swimming season and second, a lot of the construction would occur during the winter months, making construction more difficult.  The design consultant recommended that City reject these bids and re-bid the project for construction after the 2017 swimming season, which would allow a longer construction period and more favorable weather for the start of construction. The existing structure will not be available for 2017 pool use.  Therefore, it is recommended that Council vote to reject all bids and direct staff to re-bid the Rose Park Pool Operations Building Replacement project.  





 

City Council may:

• Vote to reject all bids and direct staff to re-bid the Rose Park Pool Operations Building Replacement project or;
• Delay action and provide staff with additional direction.
