The Florence Town Council approved a contract to resurface two pools at the municipal aquatic center, authorizing work under the City of Scottsdale Job Order Contract (JOC) number 2023-121-CCOS-A1 with Industries Incorporated in an amount not to exceed $488,840.

Town staff explained the project addresses end-of-life plaster. "The plaster is extremely important because it is the first layer, to protect us from leaks," a staff presenter said, adding that the quartz plaster typically reaches a life milestone around 10 years. Staff said the contract includes warranty coverage from the vendor.

Council asked whether an ongoing maintenance contract would be required; staff replied there is no separate maintenance contract beyond warranty and normal in-house maintenance procedures. The council voted to approve the item by voice vote; no roll-call tally was recorded in the meeting minutes.

The vote record on the floor was recorded as "Aye" with no individual tallies provided. Staff will move forward with scheduling and contractor coordination under the JOC contract; the project manager said the work is intended to prevent leaks and protect the pool structure.

Speakers during the item included town staff who presented the technical rationale and answered questions. The council did not amend the contract language during the meeting.
