AGENDA TITLE: Accept Improvements Under Contract for Hutchins Street Square Pool Filtration
System Upgrade Project
MEETING DATE: August 20, 2014
PREPARED BY: Public Works Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Accept improvements under contract for Hutchins Street Square
Pool System Upgrade Project.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The contract was awarded to Pool Scene, Inc., of West Sacramento,
in the amount of $84,200, on January 15, 2014. The contract has
been completed in substantial conformance with the plans and
specifications approved by City Council.
The Hutchins Street Square Pool Filtration System Upgrade Project consisted of removing the existing
filtration system; installing a new filter, chlorine feed system, pH buffering system, water chemistry
controller, flow meter, and ultra -violet disinfection system; and other ancillary improvements. Ultra -violet
disinfection, coupled with chlorine disinfection, significantly reduces chlorine dosing requirements and
other disinfection by-products (such as chlorine smell) that are more noticeable in indoor pools.
The completion date was May 15, 2014. The final contract price was $81,639. The difference between
the contract amount and the final contract price is due to a filter system substitution ($4,800 credit), an
acid storage substitution ($145) and an eyewash station installation ($2,094).
Following acceptance by the City Council, as required by law, the City Engineer will file a Notice of
Completion with the County Recorder's office. The notice serves to notify vendors and subcontractors
that the project is complete and begins their 30 -day period to file a stop notice requiring the City to
withhold payments from the prime contractor in the event of a payment dispute.
FISCAL IMPACT: Upgrading the pool filtration equipment will improve system reliability, and
significantly reduce energy usage, chemical usage and staff time required
to monitor and adjust the system as bathing loads vary.
FUNDING AVAILABLE: This project was funded by the Public Benefit Fund (164605.8098).
