IV. BACKGROUND
The City of Carson is responsible for the care and maintenance of two pools and two aquatic facilities: Carson Park Pool, Foisia Park Pool, Dominguez Park Aquatic Center, and Hemingway Park Aquatic Center. In an effort to maintain the function and aesthetics of the city pools, staff included Project Nos. 1633, 1634, and 1637, 1672, during the Capital Improvement Program (CIP) development process. These projects addressed the necessary repair needs of the pools and aquatic centers throughout the City. Later, staff determined it would be more efficient to combine these projects into one project (Project No. 1771) and award to a single contractor. The staff report presented to Council on June 21, 2022, listed project no. 1673, however this was determined to be a typo. Project No. 1672, replaster of pool decks at Dominguez and Hemingway Aquatic Centers, was the correct project included in the contract. On June 21, 2022, City Council approved Item No. 21 awarding a Construction Contract to California Waters Development, Inc. for $1,032,128.00 for the construction of Project No. 1771, aquatic facility improvements. The contract also authorized the expenditure of construction contingencies for $103,212.80 (10%) for any unforeseen or extra construction work that may be necessary to complete this project, for a total budget of $1,135,340.80.
Project No. 1771 consisted of repair to the plaster and deck surfaces at Dominguez Aquatic Center, Hemingway Aquatic Center, and Foisia Pool.
Construction of the project has been completed in a satisfactory manner and the pool facilities will be open for public use for the 2023 summer season. Staff is requesting the City Council to accept the project as complete and authorize staff to proceed with the filing of the Notice of Completion.
The CIP budget for the project was $1,360,000.00, with $1,100,000 funded by Quimby and $260,000 funded by Park Improvement fund. Actual costs for the project totaled $1,135,340.80, resulting in project savings of $224,659.20. Associated change orders in the amount of $103,212.80 were issued to address tile replacement/repair, grout work, ADA requirements, and lighting.
V. FISCAL IMPACT
No fiscal impact is associated with the recommended action items.
