Council selects Brandcenter Carroll to design pool; staff to schedule public input
Summary
The council chose Brandcenter Carroll as the most qualified firm to provide pool design services and directed staff to negotiate a contract and return it to council. Staff will schedule community engagement events before finalizing design.
The Jersey Village City Council selected Brandcenter Carroll as the top-ranked firm to provide design services for the proposed pool project, and authorized staff to negotiate a contract and return it to council for approval.
Staff summary and schedule: Parks staff told council Brandcenter Carroll scored highest on the RFQ evaluation (94.3/100 in staff materials) and proposed an initial schedule that includes concept design and community engagement in September–October 2025, preliminary design in November–December, construction documents in early 2026, bidding in spring 2026 and construction beginning in 2026 for a planned pool opening in 2027. Council approved beginning contract negotiations; staff said the executed contract would return for council approval, and that community engagement (online input and at least one in-person event) would be scheduled to inform concept design.
Why it matters: design selection moves the pool project from conceptual planning to formal design and pricing. Council discussed balancing timely design work with opportunities for public input before final designs are set.
Council and public input: Several council members emphasized the value of public education and outreach ahead of the Nov. 4 bond vote; staff said community input was incorporated in prior planning phases and recommended either continued engagement or a streamlined approach if council seeks faster concept finalization.
Next steps: staff to negotiate a contract with Brandcenter Carroll and return it to council (target: September meeting); schedule online and in-person community engagement before finalizing design direction.
