Council gives verbal assent to Hub pool slide repair after coating failure; formal change order to follow
Summary
After contractors discovered a delaminated wrapped coating on the Hub pool slide, the council gave verbal assent to proceed with a contractor option (discussed as $4,850) to prime and re-gelcoat the slide and directed staff to place a formal change order on the next agenda for legal review.
Contractors working on the Hub pool slide began sanding and discovered an unexpected wrapped surface that tore during prep work, exposing underlying fiberglass and requiring additional primer and gel-coat operations. Staff described the surface as an atypical wrapped “skin” that did not respond to normal refinishing methods and noted replacement of bolts and other repairs were also necessary.
The original project contract and the full accounting of previous change orders were discussed in the meeting; staff reported previously approved expenditures and a deposit already paid. The contractor offered a not-to-exceed price for additional repair options. After discussing options and risk of leaving the partially stripped slide in place, the council gave its verbal assent to proceed with the contractor’s Option B (the figure discussed in the meeting was $4,850). The mayor and staff emphasized the council cannot formally award the change order tonight because it was not on the agenda and requested that staff place the formal change-order document on the next meeting agenda for legal review and official approval.
The council instructed staff to ensure warranty implications are verified and to document any additional costs should the contractor’s work differ from the scope previously approved.
