DESCRIPTION:
At its meeting of January 9, 1989, the City Council authorized Staff to
advertise for bids for Contract 89-5, replacement of the pumps and motors at
the Dublin Community Swim Center. At the March 13th meeting, the City
Council authorized Staff to purchase the pumps outright from Paco Pump Co.
At the March 27th meeting, Contract 89-5, which included only the
installation of the pumps and motors and any other appurtenant work required
to make the pumps functional, was awarded to the Martin Company.
During the course of construction, a couple of problems were encountered
that delayed the work. The first problem was that the pumps barely fit into
the pit area, and the access steps had to be modified. The second problem
was that the rear bearings on both pumps were extremely noisy and had to be
replaced to avoid damaging the units. Neither of these resulted in
additional expenditures, but the repairs were not completed as quickly as
Staff had hoped.
Once these obstacles were overcome, the boiler was checked and determined to
be functional for the present time, although the repairperson recommended
that the City explore obtaining a newer, more efficient heating device.
Staff will take a look at this situation when the renovation plans are drawn
up for next fiscal year.
The pool was opened to the public on Memorial Day weekend.
Staff recommends that the City Council accept the improvements constructed
under Contract 89-5 and authorize retention payment to the Martin Company in
the amount of $795.00.
