City: pool design advancing, CMAR interviews set; golf-course turf-reduction and Bootleg Canyon maintenance underway
Loading...
Summary
Director Julie Callaway told the Parks and Recreation Commission the new pool design is moving to construction-manager interviews after nine RFP respondents were narrowed to two; municipal golf-course irrigation/turf-reduction work began Jan. 1 with a projected Sept. 16 completion; Bootleg Canyon trail repairs and spring events were also discussed.
Julie Callaway, Boulder City’s parks and recreation director, updated the commission on several capital and maintenance projects at the Jan. 26 meeting.
On the new community pool, Callaway said the department issued an RFP and had interest from nine firms; that pool-construction shortlist has been reduced to two firms and interviews were scheduled for the day after the meeting. Callaway said the project will use a construction manager-at-risk (CMAR) approach; the selected CMAR will collaborate with the design team over the next four months to develop cost estimates and align the design to the available budget before the City Council is asked to approve a contract, likely at a February council meeting.
Callaway also described work affecting the municipal Boulder Creek golf course tied to nearby Track 350 development: grading activity and a storm-drain repair that crosses golf-course holes require coordination with Toll Brothers, Turf Tec and city maintenance crews to avoid utility or irrigation damage. Separately, the municipal golf-course irrigation and turf-reduction project began Jan. 1 and is scheduled to finish by Sept. 16, Callaway said; staff notified adjacent homeowners and will phase work nine holes at a time.
On lighting and permitting at Veterans Memorial Park, Callaway said the recently opened pickleball courts have been well received but the department has seen at least one incident of an unpermitted tournament; staff are monitoring rentals and are researching electrical (rather than solar) lighting options for Phase 2 to meet safety and visibility needs.
Bootleg Canyon activity includes five fall biking events, several spring events listed on the department’s special-event master list, trail grooming and drainage repairs following heavy rainfall, and continued volunteer-organized maintenance days. Callaway said staff are still seeking a replacement operator for the zipline.
Callaway told commissioners that updated project information is posted on the city website and that the department is encouraging residents to consult that source for the most current schedules and project phases.
Next steps: CMAR interviews will conclude and staff will present a recommended construction manager to City Council for approval; turf-reduction work and trail maintenance will continue under current project timelines.
