The Crescent City Council awarded major renovation projects which will close the Fred Endert pool for two to three months in late Summer early Fall.
Councilors voted unanimously to permit the City to enter into agreements for pool HVAC boilers replacement and the pool locker room and flooring projects.
Adams Commercial General contractor will perform the HVAC work. Specialty Flooring will handle the Locker Room Project.
The replacement cost of the aging boilers and associated labor is $1.72 million.
Specialty Flooring’s low bid of two bidders totaled just over $215,000 which includes decorative Quartz finishing.
The Fred Endert Pool HVAC and Flooring project is covered predominantly by Measure S funding and and an approximate $70,000 allocation from the General Fund. The Fund balance, according to the City is approximately $693,000, above the Reserve requirement.
The Council voted unanimously to transfer the $70,000 from the General Fund to the HVAC / Flooring project.
In an unrelated agenda item, the City elected not to purchase a $40,000 Street Crack Fill machine, thus bolstering the General Fund balance.
It is anticipated the Pool will close to the public for eight to 12 weeks, late Summer / early Autumn.
The Fred Endert Pool members who have annual passes will have their memberships extended during the interruption of service.
