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). F. Wally andelin Public Works Director Prepared by Charles E.
