Feasibility study offers five options, wide cost range to enclose Roosevelt 50-meter pool
Summary
Consultant TSP presented five enclosure options for the Roosevelt outdoor 50-meter pool ranging from $261,000 (amenities-only) to about $16.1 million (full enclosed building); the committee acknowledged the study and staff will return with next steps.
The committee heard a feasibility study on enclosing the Roosevelt 50-meter outdoor pool and acknowledged the presentation.
Melissa Peterson of Parks and Recreation introduced Mark Everett of consulting firm TSP, who said the firm evaluated five alternatives: (1) amenities-only upgrades (starting blocks, timing equipment, bleachers and perimeter fencing) estimated at roughly $261,000; (2) an air-supported structure (a "bubble") with associated storage and mechanical needs, estimated at about $2.36 million; (3) a pre-engineered tensile fabric structure (mid-range cost, lower maintenance); (4) a retractable aluminum and polycarbonate system (mid-to-high cost and automatic open/close capability); and (5) a traditional enclosed building connected to the existing swim center, a higher-cost, low-maintenance option with an estimated price of about $16.1 million.
Everett said the team compared options on initial construction cost, annual maintenance, warranties and life-cycle costs, energy efficiency, user comfort, construction timelines and potential revenue generation that could offset operating costs. He noted some options require summertime removal and dry storage for fabric components, while permanent enclosures offer longer lifespans and higher energy-efficiency potential.
Committee members acknowledged the presentation by voice vote. Staff did not present a recommended option at this meeting; next steps include deeper cost refinement and identification of funding strategies before returning to the committee.
