Summary

Staff said the pool project, initially over budget, was retooled to prioritize the pool by removing the walking path and creating bid alternates; state grant reallocation is pending and the team expects a month-long bid period and a 130-working-day construction schedule.

Staff reported the pool project was rebid after initial bids exceeded the budget. To keep the pool work within available funds, staff removed the walking path and reallocated that portion of the grant to the pool; the city expects an amendment from the state to reassign those funds and to return the project to bid shortly.

The solicitation will be open about a month; staff said the contract package includes bid alternates so the city can remove optional items if necessary. They estimated a 130-working-day construction timeline and noted the grant expenditure deadline of September 27.
