Council moves forward on Olean pool construction award; calls for structural review

Common Council of the City of Olean, New York · July 15, 2026

Summary

Council voted to advance an award of the Olean Recreational Pool Upper East Project construction portion to Patterson Stevens Inc.; a councilor requested a structural study (Clark Patterson Lee) to assess pool walls before finalizing scope and spending.

The Common Council moved to award the construction portion of the Olean Recreational Pool Upper East Project to Patterson Stevens Inc. and asked staff to consider a structural study before finalizing work scope.

A councilor who supported moving the PL forward asked staff to investigate a structural study from Clark Patterson Lee to resolve uncertainty about wall integrity—"since that seems to be a point of contention as to whether they're voids or not voids," the councilor said—because the findings could change the scale of reconstruction required. The PL was slated to appear under resolutions in two weeks for formal approval.

Sponsors will process the award and staff said they would follow up on the requested study and any engineering findings that could affect contract scope or cost.
