Council approves $34,148 emergency change order to fix slippery community center pool deck
Summary
Council passed an emergency change order to Johnson Lau Construction of Ohio LLC totaling $34,147.81 to address slipping issues on the community center indoor pool deck; staff said the work will require a short closure, likely no more than a week.
The Solon City Council approved an emergency change order totaling $34,147.81 to Johnson Lau Construction of Ohio LLC to correct slipperiness on the community center’s indoor pool deck. Councilmember Zalwin moved the ordinance under suspension and emergency and Councilman Mackie Bentley seconded; the roll call vote was unanimous.
Council discussion and staff remarks indicate the recently installed pool decking experienced problems with slipping and falling, prompting the corrective work and a temporary closure. ‘‘The changes, to correct the issues that we are having will require the pool to be closed for a period of time. Shouldn't be more than a week. We'll post it well in advance,’’ a Parks & Recreation staff member identified in the record as Mr. Parker said.
Council members said they support the emergency declaration to expedite repairs because of safety concerns. The change order was processed through the Aqualas Group cooperative purchasing program, according to the agenda item description.
What happens next: staff will schedule and post the closure dates and carry out the repairs to install the corrective surface specified in change order number 2. The council recorded the amount as $34,147.81 and approved final passage under suspension and emergency.
