Title
Resolution to Approve a Contract with Aquatic Source, LLC for On-Call Pool Mechanical Services for Up to Five Years, Not to Exceed $425,000
Memorandum
This resolution approves a contract with Aquatic Source, LLC for on-call mechanical services for City pools for three years, with two optional one-year extensions, not to exceed $425,000 total over the life of the contract.
Project Description: Each year the Parks and Recreation Services Unit utilizes pool services companies to perform pool opening inspections and maintenance, in-season repairs, ongoing maintenance and closing procedures at Fuller, Buhr, Veterans and Mack pools.

The goal of having one company on call to provide all services will help ensure consistent opening and closing procedures as well as consistent handling of all work done on each pool.
The projected cost of approximately $75,000 per year is more than the average for the last ten years; however, staff have increased their expectation given the concern that aging components at each of the pools may lead to larger than average expenses over the course of the contract. Staff have replaced numerous mechanical components at the pools in recent years, but additional work remains and older infrastructure remains in place.
The scope of services will consist of individual tasks to be determined and assigned during the contract period. The type of work may include, but is not limited to; the inspection and maintenance of all pool related appurtenances, acid washing of pool, pressure testing filtration systems, sensors, repair and/or installation of plumbing, pool heating boilers, pool chemical feed, process piping, pumps and valves, pool filtration systems, repair/replacement/calibration of chemical feeders, removal/replacement of sand and gravel within the filter.
