MEETING DATE: June 20,2007
PREPARED B Y Parks and Recreation Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Adopt resolution authorizing sole source purchase and installation
of swimming pool heater ($28,899.61) and sand filter system
($25,600.30) for Enze Pool at Blakely Park, 1050 S. Stockton Street
to Knorr System, Inc. of Santa Clara, CA. and appropriate proceeds
from the sale of surplus property ($40,402.00) and an additional
$14,097.90 to cover the cost of this purchase.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Staff has been experiencing costly and time consuming repairs to
the Enze pool heater and sand filter system. Staff has had a
number of pool technicians evaluate the system problems. At this
time several components are beyond repair and must be replaced
From staff research we have determined that new pool heater technology is available, allowing the unit to
work 89% more efficiently and economically. Staff is working closely with PG&E in an effort to obtain
some level of rebate related to this gas heater project.
The existing sand filtration system is allowing excessive sand back into Enze pool. With the filtration
system not working effectively, water quality could become an issue. Today's high rate sand filtration
systems can provide very efficient and effective sanitization.
A sole source purchase allows staff to deal with the California distributorof the preferred pool heater and
sand filtration system for this project. Knorr System of Santa Clara, CA, can provide the components,
materials and laborto complete this in a timely matter and with limited disruption to our current operating
aquatic programs.
The proceeds from the sale of surplus property (basketball hardwood floor at the Grape Festival
Complex) are available to appropriate for this use. Staff recommends using a sole source purchase of
the needed equipment and use of the proceeds from hardwood floor sale for this expenditure.
FISCAL IMPACT: This replacement equipmentwill measurably reduce the annual
maintenance costs by approximately $11,000.
