Agenda Item: 7.b.
MEMO TO:
Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM:
Creighton Wright, Director of Parks and Recreation
SUBJECT:
Award a Construction Contract to Install Starting Blocks at the Cortez Outdoor Municipal Pool
BACKGROUND
Cortez residents are lucky to have a 50-meter outdoor pool. It is the only outdoor 50-meter pool on the Western Slope. It provides unique opportunities for recreational open swim, swim lessons, and recreational and competitive swim team experiences.
The Cortez Water Dragons (CWD) is the organized swim team partner with the City. They provide a recreational and competitive swim team experience for the children in the Cortez area. The CWD hosts one annual swim meet at the Cortez Outdoor Municipal Pool (COMP), and occasionally a second state championship swim meet. This year, they will host the annual and state championship meets. Starting blocks are essential to host swim meets at the COMP. The starting blocks at the COMP have exceeded their useful life and need replacement. CWD and the City have a separate partnership agreement for pool use.
The City and CWD have entered into an agreement whereby CWD purchases, installs, maintains, and donates new starting blocks for the COMP to the City. The agreement is included in Attachment 1.
The CWD fundraised for the construction plans and specifications, included in Attachment 2.
The CWD received a grant from the LOR Foundation to purchase the starting blocks. The CWD agreed to split the demolition and installation cost of the starting blocks up to a total contribution by the City of $5,000.
The demolition and installation of the starting blocks was anticipated and budgeted (001-4551-451-46-02) at a total of $10,000.
ISSUES
A bid request was published on March 23, and bids were opened on April 5. A pre-bid walk-through was held, and three contractors attended. One bid was received by B & B Concrete in the amount of $9,208. Staff reviewed the contractor's bid and feels it is responsive and responsible.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends awarding a construction contract to install starting blocks at the Cortez Outdoor Municipal Pool to B & B Concrete in the amount of $9,208.
