Nevada council reviews aquatics center upgrade plan; agrees to procurement steps
Summary
On April 3, 2026, the Nevada City Council heard a presentation from Landmark Aquatic on planned upgrades to the municipal pool and agreed to proceed with procurement steps, including assigning Councilperson Bill Miles to help score pool project RFQs.
The Nevada City Council on April 3 heard a presentation from Landmark Aquatic representatives identified as Ryan and Chris outlining a proposed scope of work and planned upgrades for the city’s aquatics facility.
Mayor Carol Branham thanked members of the Park Board for their work on the aquatics center project. Landmark Aquatic’s presentation described the project scope and proposed facility improvements; specific cost and funding sources were not specified during the presentation. After the presentation, council members agreed that the procurement process should continue and that Councilperson Bill Miles would assist with scoring the received requests for qualifications (RFQs) for pool project management.
City Manager Gary Edwards also requested a council work session on April 28 at 7 p.m. that could be used to review project details. The council did not take a formal vote to award a contract at the April 3 meeting; the RFQ scoring and subsequent staff recommendations are the next procedural steps.
Why it matters: Upgrades to the municipal aquatics facility could affect recreation access and operating costs for Nevada residents, and the council’s procurement choices will shape the project timeline. The council’s immediate decision was procedural: continue procurement and assign scoring responsibilities rather than awarding contracts.
