at Bl kly P rk, 1060 S..: to Mon street; and appropriate $26i.000 for the

BACKGROUND INFORMATION, Staff has been experiencing costly andtime consuming; repairs t
the Enze pool heater, Staff has had a number of pool heater
technicians evaluate the heater problems. At this time two major.
components of the heater are beyond repair and must be replaced.
Both of these components have been cleaned and repaired a number of times in recent past. Thee
components are the heat exchanger and the burner tray shelf. By the time we replace both pomp nents
and address other issues such as interior sheet metal heat fatigue we would be spending more than half
the cost of a new replacement heater. Based on information collected from the manufacture's manual, it
appears that the current heater unit AP -1010 is not adequate for heating the pool on a Nearly year round
schedule. The replacement heater will allow for year round scheduling of the pool if required,
From staff research we have determined that the replacement heater must be a larger unit, allowing the
unit to work. more efficiently and more economically. Staff is recommending a beater unit AP -1825 as a
replacement, The larger unit will require staff to enlarge the concrete pad and chainlink fencing area to
accommodate the larger unit. These additional casts are reflected in the estimate for the project.
Staff is charged with having En e Pool available for use by May 1, 2003. Per Purchasing Agent Harris
code 3.20.070 provides for Council to bypass the bid process if it is determined to be in the hest interest
of the City. Staff is recommending that due to the remaining time available to complete this project
Council approve this request.
