Council approves contract to rehabilitate pool deck with cement‑treatment product after re‑bid
Summary
After a non‑compliant original bid and a re‑bid, the council approved awarding a contract for pool‑deck rehabilitation using a cement‑treatment product intended to extend the deck’s lifespan; staff will pilot a sample section before full installation.
City staff recommended awarding a contract to rehabilitate the municipal pool deck using a cement‑treatment product (described as micro‑glass) after the original single bidder’s submittal was determined non‑responsive and had increased its price by about 40% from earlier estimates.
Public Works reported two compliant bids to the re‑solicitation. Staff recommended a treatment that absorbs into the concrete — not a surface coating — to improve chemical resistance to chlorine and extend the useful life of the concrete, limiting future maintenance. The contractor will grind deteriorated areas to create a uniform surface and apply the treatment; staff also negotiated a sample/test section behind the swim blocks so council members and staff can evaluate the result before full application.
Council discussion and vote: Members asked about texture, slip resistance, heat retention, and the product’s longevity and availability. Staff said the product has been used in pool plaster applications and offered a sample section; if the sample does not meet expectations staff will consider alternatives. Council moved, seconded and voted to award the contract as recommended.
Next steps: Staff will schedule the sample application and, pending evaluation, proceed with the contract to complete work before peak pool season. Staff estimated the main construction phase would take about a month once scheduled.
