INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this memorandum is to provide the 2016 Aquatics Facility Evaluation
completed by MSA Professional Services and Water Technology Inc. and request it be
placed on file.
BACKGROUND
The City of Dubuque's public outdoor swimming pools serve a large and diverse cross
section of the Dubuque Community in terms of age, income level, and demographics.
Annual usage of the pools averages over 100,000 patrons in daily attendance each
summer. Based on pool pass usage, 48% of the pools patronage is by low-income
individuals/families. The pools are an important low-cost City amenity for summer
recreation.
The FY 2017 approved C.I.P. budget#1022648-627716 included $30,000 to complete a
facility assessment and report for both the Flora and Sutton pools. An RFP was
developed and distributed. The RFP included two tasks. Each task was to be bid
separately so that the City could choose to do all or a portion of the project.
Task 1A: Determine existing conditions of City aquatic facilities by conducting on-
site inspections and audits, examining records, consulting with City staff, and other
tasks as required.
Task 1 B: Prepare a report of findings including recommendations for a
repair/replace and maintenance plan to maintain and improve the facilities in their
existing layout and configuration.
Task 2: Develop a comprehensive Master Plan for long-term renovation/re-build.
An RFP review committee was made up of six City staff Janna Beau, Aquatics
Supervisor; Mary Rose Corrigan, Public Health Specialist; Steve Fehsal, Park Division
1
Manager; Brant Schueller, Water Engineering Assistant; Alexis Steger, Senior Budget
Analyst. Six proposals were received and two firms were ultimately selected by the
group to hold phone conferences. After the conferences the consensus was that both
firms could adequately do the assessment, but that one firm was clearer on their ability
to meet the detailed criteria put forth by the RFP. The group also chose to recommend
hiring a firm to complete Tasks 1A & 1 B and to wait on the Master Plan portion of the
project. MSA Professional Services was approved as the consultant for the Aquatic
Facility Evaluation for Flora and Sutton pools.
DISCUSSION
The evaluation found that currently both the Flora and Sutton Pools are in working
order. However, due to their aging infrastructure and lack of industry standard
amenities, they are becoming more expensive to maintain as well as inadequate for
today's operation. The 2016 Aquatics Facility Evaluation provides a comprehensive list
of each outdoor pool facilities physical structure, mechanics as well as surrounding
infrastructure. Included with the report are prioritized recommendations for repair to
maximize the life and improve the safety of each facility.
Each recommended repair is provided with a priority as well as a range of cost. Not
included in these estimates are the potential larger construction projects which would be
due to greater findings from recommended studies and/or capital improvements to the
facility like the addition of family restrooms. These priority levels as well as their total
range of cost are as follows:
Pool Priority Definition Time Frame Low High
Observed Life Safety, Hazardous and
Sutton A priority Physical Condistions Immediate $ 10,000.00 $ 14,000.00
Maintenance Items or non-priority code
B items 1to2Years $ 78,000.00 $209,000.00

BUDGET IMPACT - Priorities
There is currently $115,373 in the FY17 CIP (1021890-73210) for pool maintenance.
There is also a total of$295,000 recommended in the FY18 5-Year CIP's for Flora and
Sutton Pool Maintenance.
Staff's priority will focus on safety, code compliance and maintenance measures to
minimize detrimental deterioration to infrastructure and equipment. These projects are
listed within priority A and B for both pools and would total between $157,000 to
$329,000. Projecting the projects to average out through the bidding process, the total
cost to complete priorities A and B would be around $243,000. This would allow for
additional CIP funds over the next 5 years of$167,373 to perform a below grade
assessment of Sutton Pools infrastructure as well as begin to complete priority C and D
projects. Additional CIP funds will need to be requested in future budgets to complete
the priority list.
The above funds and projects do not include the daily maintenance and operation of the
pools within the operating budget. However, many of the smaller projects listed in the
prioritized list may fit within the operating funds.
BUDGET IMPACT - Future
Also within the report are two options. The first would be to continue to maintain the
existing pools over the next five to six years while making as many repairs as possible
within the annual budget each year. The second would be to replace one or both
facilities.
Option One:
Based upon the general findings of this evaluation, maintaining the existing
pools facilities will require an approximate investment within the next five to six
years as follows:
Sutton Pool Facility
Buildings/Site $265,000 to $430,000
Aquatics $1 ,000,000 to $2,000,000
Total $1 ,265,000 to $2,430,000
Flora Pool Facility
Buildings/Site $224,000 to $335,000
Aquatics $1 ,200,000 to $2,300,000
Total $1 ,425,000 to $2,635,000
NOTE: There are also other non-imperative (optional) improvements listed in
the report that are not included in the summary above.
3
Option Two:
"Replacement" - Complete facility replacement for one or both facilities. It is understood
that maintaining aquatics facilities in two locations similar to the existing is desired to
serve the residents well. Replacing the existing pools with a new facility obviously varies
with the size and program of the facility contemplated. If the Sutton and Flora pools
were replaced "in kind", the aquatics works (excluding buildings & site development)
investment would likely be about $4.2 million at Sutton, and $4.6 million for Flora. Again,
this is replacement of pools, decks, slides and activities with a substantially similar
product. Costs do not include work related to buildings, perimeter fencing, parking or
site infrastructure. If additional recreation components were to be considered, such as a
lazy river or an activity pool, an additional investment of$1 .1 million to $1 .8 million to
each facility would add both entertainment value and capacity to the facilities.
There are capital funds in the FY18 recommended budget for FY22 in the amount of
$40,000 to develop a Master Plan. There will become a time where the cost burden of
maintaining the current pools will be too high. A significant investment in the future of
our aquatic outdoor services will need to be planned for so that they will better meet the
needs of the patron as well as improve the use of resources and efficiencies through
operations.
ACTION REQUESTED
The Parks and Recreation Advisory Commission reviewed the 2016 Aquatic Facility
Evaluation and recommends the City Council receive and file the report.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This project includes additional funding to hire an aquatic consulting firm to create a long range master plan for both Flora and Sutton Pools.
JUSTIFICATION
In Fall of 2016, a consulting firm performed a thorough assessment of both Flora and Sutton Pools. As a result of this assessment, a maintenance plan was
developed to help lengthen the life of the current pools. However, both pools will have passed well beyond their normal life expectancy by the time this CIP
request would be funded. During the assessment RFP process, staff did request for additional prices on Master Planning. Originally budgeted for that
assessment was$30,000. The total project cost came in well below budget. As a result, there will be close to $11,000 that could be carried over and added to this
request of$30,000. The total of the carryover and new request will fit within the aforementioned quotes for a quality Master Plan.
RELATIONSHIP TO OTHER PROJECTS
This project implements the Comprehensive Plan's Recreation Goal One: To provide a safe park and recreation system that continues to meet the community's
needs for usable and accessible park and open space, objective 1.1) Continue to strive to improve the existing high-quality, safe park and recreation system and
Goal Seven: To enhance the visual attractiveness of the community and park system, objectives 7.1) Support maintaining and enhancing all park areas in a
manner that fosters community pride in the park system and 7.4) Consider continuing improvement program for park equipment, pavilions, and rest rooms.
RELATIONSHIP TO SUSTAINABILITY PRINCIPLES
This project implements the Sustainable Principle of Community Design.

1.0 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
1.1 Overview:
The City of Dubuque, Iowa operates two outdoor swimming pools. The Nicholas J. Sutton
Swimming Pool located at 1900 Hawthorne Street,and Flora Park Swimming Pool located
at 2525 Green Street. Each facility includes a large main pool and a separate small wading
children's activity pool.The aquatic facilities were originally constructed in 1991 (Sutton)
and 1992 (Flora).The wading pools and associated pool deck with equipment were added
in 2001.
An evaluation of the existing City aquatic facilities is desired to consider the near and
long term facility needs in regard to code compliance, function, and physical condition.
The goal of this review is to provide the City further information to make an informed
decision as to the future of the facilities. Long-term, practical,and cost effective
measures are desired.
Alternatives may include implementation of maintenance measures, renovation efforts
and/or facility replacement. The intention is for the facilities to meet all applicable local,
state,and federal building code requirements.
The facility observations and identified needs are based on facility tours and a meeting
that took place on October 13 and 17, 2016 at the end of the 2016 swim season.
General consideration of the following:
- Buildings -Site/Civil -General Structural
-Aquatics - Plumbing - Electrical
- Building Ventilation

1.2 Comments
The facility overview comments listed in this report are based on observations and on
professional opinion. The conclusions identified are general, with the exact
detailed/engineered physical needs not necessarily defined. The goal is to consider the
relative options to allow the City to make an informed decision regarding future facilities.
Corrective measures and items noted will require further and more detailed
consideration during final development and implementation of the selected
alternative/project.
This report is the initial stage in the City's recognition of possible needs. This report will
serve as the starting point to facility-related decisions that will be made in the future,and
the implementation of long-term and effective solutions to meet these needs.
The implementation of the corrective measures can be established in a timetable based
on the City's priorities and financial resources. Priority is recommended in code
deficiencies, malfunctioning equipment and maintenance measures to minimize
detrimental deterioration.
In the process of improving existing facilities some cost savings, based on reduced energy
consumption, can be achieved. However, when new construction replaces existing
facilities, higher energy consumption costs are often encountered. New facilities are
often larger than the ones they replace, and mechanical and ventilation requirements
meeting today's building codes are more stringent. However, with proper development
and in some cases added investment in sustainable technologies, energy consumption
may remain constant or in some cases be reduced.
Asbestos and lead paint was not reviewed as part of this study, but material such as this
that has the potential to be asbestos-bearing can be expected in the facility. It is
recommended that a facility asbestos and lead paint survey with material testing be
conducted to identify all asbestos in the building. If needed, this sort of study is relatively
inexpensive, but will allow the City to manage this material and budget for its removal.
This information is required whether the facilities are renovated or demolished.
Accessibility was reviewed for general compliance with accessible routes and spaces. This
review was done to better identify the general viability of the ongoing use of the facility
and to identify major work required for compliance. A detailed Accessibility Transition
Plan for all City's programs, policy and services is recommended if it does not already
exist.

1.3 General Options & Budgetary Summary
The general findings of this assessment are that the facility has needs, but there
are feasible alternatives to address them if continued use is desired. However
some of these improvements are relatively expensive. The ongoing improvement
items for the next 5 years are identified in this report.
One unknown factor is the ongoing water leakage at both facilities. Testing and
evaluation of this matter is recommended as identified in the Aquatics
Improvement Option portion of the report. This work would be performed by
specialty pool and/or piping contractor to evaluate this problem. Accordingly,
the associated corrective measures to address this are yet to be determined. At
the Flora Pool, an underground yard hydrant water line leak was specifically
identified with this review. After its correction,the City can monitor if other
water leakage continues or if this has solved the problem at the Flora Pool.
The balance of the continued capital investment into aged but seemingly
adequate facilities verses the partial or complete replacement of one or both
facilities does warrant City's further fiscal consideration.
The cost of ongoing maintenance for continued usage of the facilities is roughly
budgeted at 1.2 to 2.4 million dollars at the Sutton Pool and 1.4 to 2.6 million
dollars at the Flora Pool. This potentially totals 2.6 to 5.0 million dollars for both
facilities over the next 5 plus years.
There are alternatives to majorly improve and/or replace one or both of these
facilities. New facilities would see a much lower maintence cost in the first 10-20
years of usage, but at a much higher initial cost outlay. New facilities would also
offer a longer projected life than the current facilities. For a complete "in-kind"
facility replacement, the overall global budgets are over 7 million dollars for each
facility. Thus totaling over 14 million dollars for both. It can be noted that newly
designed facilities can offer opportunities to develop an enhanced aquatic
experience with added amenities but those may come a higher initial cost. It can
also be noted that it is typical for new facilities to experience increased user-ship
and revenue.
Development of specific renovation or new concepts and designs for new and/or
auxiliary aquatics facilities was not part of this review, but could be provided as a
supplementary professional service if desired.
Please reference section 4.5 for a further summary of options.

2.0 EXISTING FACILITIES CONDITION ASSESSMENT—SUTTON SWIMMING POOL
2.1 General Building & Grounds Information
2.1.1 General Comments
- The buildings associated with this facility are in relatively good condition.
Accordingly the buildings are suited for long-term use.
- Facility generally complies with the Federal American's with Disabilities Act
of 1990, but some deficiencies are identified below.
- City's prime concern is associated with water loss and understanding long-
term viability of facility. Further desire is for a Family Restroom and Kid's
Party areas.

2.2 Architectural/Civil Facility Review
2.2.1 Site
(1) Concrete sidewalks are cracked and in need of spot repairs.
(2) The accessible route sidewalks leading from parking to the entry have
horizontal separations greater than %:". Provide self-leveling sealant to
fill voids.
(3) The curb ramps leading from parking to the accessible route sidewalks
are lacking detectable warning panels and suitable landing. Replace curb
ramps.
(4) The parking lot is in need of crack filling and seal coating,or would benefit
from a more substantial parking lot reconstruction effort.
(5) Pre-cast parking blocks in the parking lot are deteriorating, and exposed
rebar and inconsistent heights are present. Parking blocks should be
replaced with new, or preferably replaced with standard cast-in-place
curb and gutter if a more substantial parking lot reconstruction effort is
undertaken.
(6) Significant truck traffic was observed entering and exiting the parking lot
from adjacent facilities, if a more substantial parking lot reconstruction
effort is undertaken, circulation in the lot should be evaluated and truck
traffic routed a greater distance away from the facility.
(7) Slide Tower (see aquatics) requires complete prep and repaint of the
streel structure along with provisions to anchor the sunshade structure
down to the platform.
(8) The pool deck/sidewalk south west of the Pool Equipment Building has
apparently settled or the building lifted,creating a 3"vertical difference.
Cause is unclear, but it is most likely due to a water leak in this area that
is undermining the deck/sidewalk.
(9) The fixed southwest Sunshade Structure has steel connectors and
components that are rusting. These should be properly prepped and
repainted.
(10) There is a variety of brick, stone and concrete block landscape walls.
There are some loose and/or cracked cap bricks and stones. Repair,some
replacement,tuck pointing and sealant work is needed.
(11) The brick bases at the main entry concrete benches have efflorescence
occurring that indicates water infiltration. Some tuck pointing and
sealant work is needed.
(12) No exterior security system is provided resulting in higher likelihood of
vandalism and property damage.
(13) The water playground was constructed over the top of a large diameter
water main. If a failure were to occur in this water main, significant
disruption or damage to the equipment may occur.

2.2.2 Exterior Envelope
(1) Roofs; Asphalt shingle roofing is 5 years old and in good condition. Some
nail pops present at dormer edges. The metal roof edge is painted with
some minor rusting. Preparation and repainting is recommended. An
optional accent color could improve the appearance as well.
(2) Soffit areas have exposed wood laminated beams and wood decking that
require cleaning and staining.
(3) Exterior walls are masonry with a brick exterior face and a concrete
masonry unit interior face. The walls are in good condition with some
sealant joints (control joints and opening perimeters) that are in need of
removal and replacement at both the exterior and interior side of the
walls. There is one brick with a popped/cracked face at the lower right-
hand corner of a large wall louver.
(4) There are limited exposed steel lintels at openings and some are rusty;
requires preparation and painting.
(5) The gas service wall penetration requires sealant, and the piping and
meter require painting.
(6) There are concrete foundations cracks at the outside corners of the
equipment building. Seemingly they are being caused by expansion and
contraction brick movement,and the lack of wall control joints. The brick
wall is not cracked, and structural failure is not anticipated. One
corrective measure could be adding one vertical control joint at each wall.
(7) Doors: Most doors have been replaced with FRP doors, except the
exterior hollow metal door and frame at the concessions that is rusting
and requires preparation and repainting, or complete replacement with
FRP
(8) Some door closers have rusting arms.

2016 Aquatics Facility Evaluation Dubuque, Iowa
(9) Windows: The replaced lifeguard window requires multiple beads of
perimeter sealant.
2.2.3 Interior Construction/Interior Finishes
(1) Wall painting required at staff areas.
(2) For best longevity, the interior exposed roof structure (wood decking,
siding & beams) requires staining. Preparation and painting at the
connector glu-lam beam bracket connectors. There are also rusting
brackets at the chemical/equipment areas.
2.2.4 Building Code/Accessibility
(1) Eyewash/shower stations are not provided at the Chemical Storage
areas.
(2) All room signage is not compliant with raised characters, braille and
proper mounting.
(3) There is some very apparent movement taking place in the pool deck
north of the bath house. Slopes are in excess of the 1/20 maximum and
many exceed 1/12. This is an accessibly issue, potential safety concern
(stumbling), and a sign of a bigger issue of continued long-term
displacement.
(4) The concessions concrete service counters/windows are 44" high, and
34-36" is required for a service counter.
(5) The central admission concrete service counter is 40" high, and 34-36" is
required for a service counter.
(6) There is not an accessible shower stall at the Women's Changing Room.
(7) There is not an accessible changing bench at either Locker Room.
(8) The baby changing stations are in poor condition and not accessible.
(9) The Men's accessible toilet is located to far from the toilet partition (21"
vs. 18").Toilet partition replacement may correct this.
(10) The accessible mirrors are too high to the bottom edge (46" vs. the
required 40"). Provide supplemental full height mirror.
(11) The Men's accessible shower head is 54"vs. 48".
(12) Some soap dispensers are too high; 48" maximum required.
(13) Offset lavatory traps and insulation required; see plumbing comments.
(14) Accessible toilet seats are slightly too high (3/8"+/-). Replace the seats
with a low profile seat for compliance.
(15) Sloping locker room floor surfaces are steeper than the maximum 1/50
cross slope requirement in some areas.
(16) Multi-roll toilet paper dispensers mounted in close proximity above grab
bars are an impedance to use of the grab bars.
(17) A family changing room is not provided. This was not required at the
time of the original construction, and therefore is not required. Adding
such a room is one strategy to address accessibility needs and gender
neutral issues.

2.3 Plumbing, HVAC& Electrical Facility Reviews
2.3.1 Splash Pool Mechanical Room
(1) Water service has meter and backflow preventer, then splits to
underground line for pool fill,and to a RPZ for bathhouse building water.
Copper and steel piping have surface corrosion, but is not in danger of
failure.
(2) Domestic water heater built in 2009 Rheem-Ruud 199,000 BTU input with
91 gallon storage. It is in fair condition with outside cover rusting, and a
few spots of rust through. Expect to replace unit in 5 to 10 years. Water
piping in vicinity of water heater has external corrosion,but not in danger
of failing. Should be replaced when water heater is replaced.
(3) Water heater has an ASSE1017 thermostatic mixing valve that serves
single temperature showers and lavatories. Current code requires ASSE
1069 for showers.
(4) Domestic hot water recirculation pump appears to be in okay condition.
Pump does not have any automatic controls. Energy code requires
thermostat and demand controls.
(5) Water heater flue and gas piping are rusty. They should be replaced
when water heater is replaced.
(6) Gas regulator vents relieve outside under roof eve. If regulator leaks gas
it will reenter the building through the screened openings. Relief should
run up through roof or up beyond the roof edge.
(7) Two ceiling fans are in fair condition with rusty blades and housings.They
are past their average life expectancy, but not critical to room operation.
Replace when they fail.
(8) Chemicals are used and stored in pump room, there is no leak detection
or mechanical ventilation. Switching of fan and lights should be from
outside room if chlorine is stored in the room.
(9) The electrical panels and disconnects have a significant amount of
corrosion. We inspected a disconnect that had significant exterior
corrosion and found no corrosion on any of the working parts or electrical
connections. It is our recommendation that all operable handles be
operated once a year to provide a level of assurance that they will
operate when needed. The corrosion wasn't sufficient to compromise
the integrity of the metal.
2.3.2 Men's Locker/Shower Room
(1) Showers have one drain for multiple heads. Current plumbing code does
not allow water from one person to travel past another's shower.
(2) ADA shower does not meet requirements. Head is 4'-4" above floor;
current ADA calls for 4'-0".
(3) Lavatories do not have ADA insulation protection on waste and water
piping.
(4) Cold water piping is insulated with ASJ jacketed fiberglass insulation that
is falling apart. New insulation should be installed, and have a water
proof insulation jacket.
(5) Hot water and hot water return piping is not insulated. System has hot
water recirculation and should be insulated.

(6) Room has a hose bib without code required backflow preventer. Install
a screw on vacuum backflow preventer.
2.3.3 Women's Locker/Shower Room
(1) Some showers have drain for multiple heads or drains in adjacent stall,
current plumbing code does not allow water from one person to travel
past another's shower.
(2) ADA shower does not meet requirements. Head is 4'-4" above floor;
current ADA calls for 4'-0".
(3) Lavatories do not have ADA insulation protection on waste and water
piping.
(4) Cold water piping is insulated with ASJ jacketed fiberglass insulation that
is falling apart. New insulation should be installed, and have a water
proof insulation jacket.
(5) Hot water and hot water return piping is not insulated, system has hot
water recirculation and should be insulated.
(6) ADA water closet flush valve does not meet requirements because the
handle is not facing the open side of stall. Can either re-pipe or install
automatic flush sensor unit.
(7) Room has a hose bib without code required backflow preventer. Install
a screw on vacuum backflow preventer.
2.3.4 Concessions Rooms
(1) Electric water heater is an electric 120V, 2000W 10 gallon unit
manufactured 5-2005. It is in okay condition. Water heater system does
not have a thermostatic mixing valve. Code requires an ASSE1017
thermostatic mixing valve at water heater.
(2) Lavatory does not have insulation and faucet handles, which does not
meet ADA requirements.
(3) Room has a hose bib without code required backflow preventer. Install
a screw on vacuum backflow preventer.
(4) All receptacles in kitchen area need to be GFI.
2.3.5 Exterior
(1) Natural gas pipe comes out of the ground next to the building and enters
mechanical room about 6" above floor. It is a potential tripping hazard
outside.
(2) Outside hose bibs require backflow preventers. Install a screw on
vacuum backflow preventer.
2.3.6 Main Pool Mechanical Room
(1) Main pool gas heater is Raypak model P-3500. Input = 3,500 MBH,
output= 2,870 MBH. This unit was installed in 2008 and replaced a
smaller heater. BTU capacity units require 2 free area openings of 6.1 SF
each; one commencing within 12" of floor, and the other within 12" of
top of enclosure.
(2) Wall hose bib does have a vacuum breaker backflow preventer, but
appears to be leaking water. Unit needs to be repaired.

3.2 Architectural/Civil Facility Review
3.2.1 Site
(1) Some interior and exterior cconcrete sidewalks are cracked and in need
of spot repairs.
(2) There are indications of inadequate inlet capture in the parking lot
adjacent to the concession stand, and the lack of curb and gutter allows
for runoff to impact the structure and area around it.
(3) Longitudinal slope for designated accessible parking stalls is too great.
This could be addressed with parking lot rehabilitation in the future.
(4) Signage for designated accessible parking stalls should be replaced or
added.
(5) The curb ramp between parking and the accessible route to the facility
entry are lacking detectable warning panels. Detectable warning should
be added. The curb along the ramp is somewhat of a tripping hazard as
well.
(6) Rim of area drain between playground and water playground should be
raised, and the grading adjusted to reduce the slope in the turf area to
improve maintenance and safety.
(7) There is no accessible route to the playground in the pool area.
(8) The playground surface is not ADA compliant, and also creates a
maintenance issue with sand being tracked onto the pool deck.
(9) Drain for the foot washing station between the pool and the playground
appears to be plugged. This should be cleaned, and it is recommended
the line be televised at that time to check its condition.
(10) There is insufficient lighting on the top platform of the Slide Tower for
evening hours of operation.
(11) Wall-pack lighting should be added to the east side of the concession
stand.
(12) A vertical separation in the concrete sidewalk under the south Sunshade
Structure should be ground down or replaced.
(13) Slide Tower (see aquatics) requires complete prep and repaint of the
streel structure, along with provisions to anchor the sunshade structure
down to the platform.
(14) The concrete block landscape wall near side concessions entry has a small
missing cap section.
(15) There are steel railings mounted in the concrete deck. These rails are
rusty at their base at some locations. Repairs and regular repainting
needed.
(16) No exterior security system is provided resulting in higher likelihood of
vandalism and property damage.

3.2.2 Exterior Envelope
(1) Roofs: Asphalt shingle roofing is 5 years old at the Bath House and in
apparent good condition. Asphalt shingle roofing at the Concession
Building does not match that of the Bath House;thus its age is uncertain,
but also in apparent good condition.
(2) Wood fascia, soffit (at serving area) and gable siding at Concessions
Building along with the Bath House soffit areas with exposed wood
laminated beams and wood decking requires cleaning and staining.
(3) Exterior Walls are masonry with a brick exterior face and a concrete
masonry unit interior face. The walls are in good condition with sealant
joints(control joints and opening perimeters) that are in need of removal
and replacement at both the exterior and interior side of the walls. Some
north facing brick areas at the base of wall require cleaning on both
buildings.
(4) There are limited exposed steel lintels at openings and some are rusty;
requires preparation and painting. There are some locations at steel
lintel bearing with mortar cracking and require mortar joint repair.
(5) Concessions Building Doors: Doors and frames need painting. The glass
is single pane glass verses the recommended insulated glass. Some
locations are and aged with checked cracking that obscures transparency.

Replacement with tempered insulated glass recommended since the
building is heated.
(6) Concession gathering room windows. Low quality metal windows with
single pane glazing. Window replacement recommended.
(7) The concession service openings has a non-insulated coiling door, and a
screen/plexiglass food service window system. Since the building is
heated, replace both with an insulated Ready-Access type food service
window.
(8) The gas service wall penetration requires sealant, and the piping and
meter require painting.
(9) Heater stacks are painted with some rust; repaint.
(10) Downspout at south west corner of the concessions building is crushed.
3.2.3 Interior Construction/Interior Finishes
(1) Wall painting required at staff and equipment areas.
(2) At the interior exposed roof structure staining for the wood decking,
beams,and siding is a long term need.
(3) At the interior exposed steel glu-lam beam bracket connectors there is
rust that requires preparation and painting.
(4) At the concession building the gypsum ceiling and gable end walls have
some drywall cracking and joint failures. Repair and repaint gypsum
board in public areas.

4.0 RECOMMENDATIONS FOR REPAIR AND/OR REPLACEMENT
4.1 General Comments
The aquatic facilities are in solid condition, but do have on-going issues and deficiencies
due to its age and configuration. If the facilities remain for long term use, upgrades are
recommended to accommodate staff and public needs.
A new facility(s) offers the most positive attributes. Some advantages include increased
user ship and lower long term major maintenance needs. New facilities could address
current and future needs, along with provisions that allow for simple future expansion
and amenities.
General user ship observations conveyed by the City include the fact that the Legion Pool
is embedded in a neighborhood with a seemingly more remote general community access
and community visibility, but the facility does see greater usage and neighborhood
patronage. The VFW pool, however, is located in a more general area from access
standpoint with more dedicated parking infrastructure and is located in the same park as
the Dubuque Community Center.
4.2 Cost Avoidance
Any effort to address the City of Dubuque's facility and department needs requires a
strategy to avoid spending money on facilities that will be replaced in the long-term due
to inadequacies. The avoidance of such inefficient expenditures is desirable. If major
building projects are undertaken,such a strategy can be expected to require a larger initial
expenditure to reap the benefit of such long term savings and department efficiencies.
In the process of remodeling existing facilities (if they are not expanded), cost savings
based on reduced energy consumption can be achieved by improving the exterior
envelope construction of the buildings with added insulation and replacement windows.
However, when new construction replaces existing facilities, higher energy consumption
costs are often encountered. New facilities are often larger than the ones they replace
and mechanical and ventilation requirements meeting today's building codes are more
stringent. With proper development and added investment in sustainable technologies,
energy consumption will be reduced from an option without such measures.
4.3 Sustainability
A positive goal to consider is the sustainable means and methods which would best
develop the City's facilities. Sustainable means can be achieved with the use of energy
efficient equipment and design along with items made of renewable materials.
Sustainable measures are those which fulfill present and future needs while preserving
and not harming renewable resources through unique human-environmental systems of
a site or building,thus including air,water, land,energy,and human ecology and/or those
of other off-site sustainable systems.
The built environment associated with the City's buildings and grounds is a key
consideration when addressing this goal. This is a very relevant consideration, between
the resources needed to construct and maintain the facility and the energy consumed by
a facility.

Ideally added efficiencies can be captured as part of the ongoing improvement efforts
and possible replacement. Such sustainable measures should save the City money in the
long run, and thus be a good investment and of positive value. Though this report does
not develop specific sustainable measures,any proposed project with renovation or new
construction should be developed and constructed with sensitivity to sustainability.
4.4 Recommended Building and Site Improvements
The recommended building and site improvements of this overview study are general in
nature. The items identified are specific to perceive needs, and DO NOT include ongoing
facility general maintenance items that are not deficient at this time. They can vary in
nature from code improvements, maintenance improvements to aesthetic
improvements. Priorities are subjective to the City's consideration, and the needs can
intermingle and vary based on implementation. Accordingly the following list of priority
categories may merge and intertwine, but the following offers some groupings for the
City to consider.
Priority Types:
Priority Immediate Observed Life Safety, Hazardous and priory Physical
Conditions.
Priority B 1 to 2 years; Maintenance items or non-priority code items.
Priority 1 to 4 years; lower priority maintenance item, performance
enhancing or code deficiency that is otherwise grandfathered
(optional).
Priority D 1 to 6 years (optional); aesthetic amenity Improvement to
provide greater enjoyment to the patrons.
Not all identified deficiencies can be easily addressed by a renovation effort. In some case
facility replacement may be more practical, and thus renovation costs for such items are
not budgeted. Such items include the small and inadequate concessions facilities.
The following cost estimates are general and very approximate, for general budgeting
purposes and "Big-Picture' facility consideration. The nature of costs can vary widely
based on the method of how the work is combined and implemented. When the project
priorities and the desired work are identified, it is recommended to work with an
architect/engineer to further develop the detailed solutions to thoroughly address the
facility needs. Costs do not include Architectural and Engineering fees since those fees
can vary greatly depending on the nature of services provided.
NOTE: Aquatics items are not listed in section 4.4. For the individual aquatic items in
need, please see Appendixes IA & IB for the full Aquatic Evaluation report. These
sections each includes a prioritized summary of the specific aquatics improvements on
pages g through 12.

4.5 Facility Options
The Dubuque Park System operates two similar swimming pool facilities,the Flora Park
Pool and the Nicholas J. Sutton Pool. Both facilities consist of a swimming pool, water
slides and a wading pool. Both facilities were built within five years of each other, and
are experiencing similar issues. Perceived tentative "big-picture"options to address the
needs identified include the following options:
Option One: "Status Quo' - Invest in improving the existing facilities and
forecast for short and long term expenses. The minimal investment which
should be considered for each facility is evaluation of each pool to determine
water loss source,and a VGB analysis of the wading pool. This evaluation would
determine the best way to stabilize the pool's operations and to ascertain the
safety of the wading pools' submerged outlets. Projected cost for this added
analysis is$20,000 - $50,000 perfacility.
Based upon the general findings of this evaluation, maintaining the existing
pools facilities will require an approximate investment within the next five-six
years as follows:
Sutton Pool Facility
Buildings/Site $265,000 to$430,000
Aquatics $1,000,000 to$2,000,000
Total $1,265,000to$2,430,000
Flora Pool Facility
Buildings/Site $224,000 to$335,000
Aquatics $1.200,000 to$2,:00,000
Total $1,425,000to$2,635,000
NOTE:There are also other non-imperative (optional) improvements listed in
the reportthat are not included in the summary above.
Option Two: "Replacement" - Complete facility replacement for one or both
facilities. It is understood that maintaining aquatics facilities in two locations
similar to the existing is desired to serve the residence well. Replacing the
existing pools with a new facility obviously varies with the size and program of
the facility contemplated. If the Sutton and Flora pools were replaced"in kind",
the aquatics works (excluding buildings & site development) investment would
likely be about 4.2 million at Sutton, and 4.6 million for Flora. Again, this is
replacement of pools, decks, slides and activities with a substantially similar
product. Costs do not include work related to buildings, perimeter fencing,
parking or site infrastructure. If additional recreation components were to be
considered, such as a lazy river or an activity pool, an additional investment of
1.1 million to 1.8 million to each facility would add both entertainment value and
capacity to the facilities.
For the projected cost a replacement facility that is similar to the existing, and
one that is enhanced from the existing reference the Example Ballpark Budget
Summaries on the next page. If further consideration is desired, a conceptual
design study is needed to explore partial or complete replacement options.

1.0 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
1.1 Overview:
The City of Dubuque, Iowa operates two outdoor swimming pools. The Nicholas J. Sutton
Swimming Pool located at 1900 Hawthorne Street,and Flora Park Swimming Pool located
at 2525 Green Street. Each facility includes a large main pool and a separate small wading
children's activity pool.The aquatic facilities were originally constructed in 1991 (Sutton)
and 1992 (Flora).The wading pools and associated pool deck with equipment were added
in 2001.
An evaluation of the existing City aquatic facilities is desired to consider the near and
long term facility needs in regard to code compliance,function, and physical condition.
The goal of this review is to provide the City further information to make an informed
decision as to the future of the facilities. Long-term, practical,and cost effective
measures are desired.
Alternatives may include implementation of maintenance measures, renovation efforts
and/or facility replacement. The intention is for the facilities to meet all applicable local,
state,and federal building code requirements.
The facility observations and identified needs are based on facility tours and a meeting
that took place on October 13 and 17, 2016 at the end of the 2016 swim season.
General consideration of the following:
-Architectural -Site/Civil -General Structural
-Aquatics - Plumbing - Electrical
- Building Ventilation

1.2 Comments
As part of this facility overview, the comments listed in this report are based on
observations and on professional opinion. The conclusions identified are general, with
the exact detailed/engineered physical needs not necessarily defined. The goal is to
consider the relative options to allow the City to make an informed decision regarding
future facilities. Corrective measures and items noted will require further and more
detailed consideration during final development and implementation of the selected
alternative/project.
The physical state/condition of these facilities is generally good with specifically identified
needs.
This report is the initial stage in the City's recognition of possible needs. This report will
serve as the starting point to facility-related decisions that will be made in the future,and
the implementation of long-term and effective solutions to meet these needs.
The implementation of the corrective measures can be established in a timetable based
on the City's priorities and financial resources. Priority is recommended in code
deficiencies, malfunctioning equipment and maintenance measures to minimize
detrimental deterioration.
In the process of improving existing facilities some cost savings, based on reduced energy
consumption, can be achieved. However, when new construction replaces existing
facilities, higher energy consumption costs are often encountered. New facilities are
often larger than the ones they replace, and mechanical and ventilation requirements
meeting today's building codes are more stringent. However, with proper development
and in some cases added investment in sustainable technologies, energy consumption
may remain constant or in some cases be reduced.
This review identifies the general condition of the existing properties in order to best
consider and identify long-term facility needs for the City. For any facilities the City
intends to keep for long term operation, the creation of a year-by-year master
maintenance plan (commonly known as a "5-Year [or 10-year] Capital Improvements
Plan") is recommended. This sort of long-term facilities management plan would support
the City's effort to properly maintain facilities and forecast for anticipated expenditures.
A Capital Improvement was not part of this review, but could be provided as a
supplementary professional service if desired.
Development of specific renovation or new concepts and design for new and/or auxiliary
aquatics facilities was not part of this review, but could be provided as a supplementary
professional service if desired.
Asbestos and lead paint was not reviewed as part of this study, but material such as this
that has the potential to be asbestos-bearing can be expected in the facility. It is
recommended that a facility asbestos and lead paint survey with material testing be
conducted to identify all asbestos in the building. If needed, this sort of study is relatively

inexpensive, but will allow the City to manage this material and budget for its removal.
This information is required whether the facilities are renovated or demolished.
Accessibility was reviewed for general compliance with accessible routes and spaces. This
review was done to better identify the general viability of the ongoing use of the facility
and to identify major work required for compliance. A detailed Accessibility Transition
Plan for all City's programs, policy and services is recommended if it does not already
exist.

2.1 General Building & Grounds Information
2.1.1 General Comments
- The buildings associated with this facility are in relatively good condition.
Accordingly the buildings are suited for long-term use.
- Facility generally complies with the Federal American's with Disabilities Act
of 1990, but some deficiencies are identified below.
- City's prime concern is associated with water loss and understanding long-
term viability of facility. Further desire is for a Family Restroom and Kid's
Party areas.

2.2 Architectural/Civil Facility Review
2.2.1 Site
(1) Concrete sidewalks are cracked and in need of spot repairs.
(2) The accessible route sidewalks leading from parking to the entry have
horizontal separations greater than %:". Provide self-leveling sealant to
fill voids.
(3) The curb ramps leading from parking to the accessible route sidewalks
are lacking detectable warning panels and suitable landing. Replace curb
ramps.
(4) The parking lot is in need of crack filling and seal coating,or would benefit
from a more substantial parking lot reconstruction effort.
(5) Pre-cast parking blocks in the parking lot are deteriorating, and exposed
rebar and inconsistent heights are present. Parking blocks should be
replaced with new, or preferably replaced with standard cast-in-place
curb and gutter if a more substantial parking lot reconstruction effort is
undertaken.
(6) Significant truck traffic was observed entering and exiting the parking lot
from adjacent facilities, if a more substantial parking lot reconstruction
effort is undertaken, circulation in the lot should be evaluated and truck
traffic routed a greater distance away from the facility.
(7) Slide Tower (see aquatics) requires complete prep and repaint of the
streel structure along with provisions to anchor the sunshade structure
down to the platform.
(8) The pool deck/sidewalk south west of the Pool Equipment Building has
apparently settled or the building lifted,creating a 3"vertical difference.
Cause is unclear, but it is most likely due to a water leak in this area that
is undermining the deck/sidewalk.
(9) The fixed southwest Sunshade Structure has steel connectors and
components that are rusting. These should be properly prepped and
repainted.
(10) There is a variety of brick, stone and concrete block landscape walls.
There are some loose and/or cracked cap bricks and stones. Repair,some
replacement,tuck pointing and sealant work is needed.
(11) The brick bases at the main entry concrete benches have efflorescence
occurring that indicates water infiltration. Some tuck pointing and
sealant work is needed.
(12) No exterior security system is provided resulting in higher likelihood of
vandalism and property damage.
(13) The water playground was constructed over the top of a large diameter
water main. If a failure were to occur in this water main, significant
disruption or damage to the equipment may occur.

2.2.2 Exterior Envelope
(1) Roofs; Asphalt shingle roofing is 5 years old and in good condition. Some
nail pops present at dormer edges. The metal roof edge is painted with
some minor rusting. Preparation and repainting is recommended. An
optional accent color could improve the appearance as well.
(2) Soffit areas have exposed wood laminated beams and wood decking that
require cleaning and staining.
(3) Exterior walls are masonry with a brick exterior face and a concrete
masonry unit interior face. The walls are in good condition with some
sealant joints (control joints and opening perimeters) that are in need of
removal and replacement at both the exterior and interior side of the
walls. There is one brick with a popped/cracked face at the lower right-
hand corner of a large wall louver.
(4) There are limited exposed steel lintels at openings and some are rusty;
requires preparation and painting.
(5) The gas service wall penetration requires sealant, and the piping and
meter require painting.
(6) There are concrete foundations cracks at the outside corners of the
equipment building. Seemingly they are being caused by expansion and
contraction brick movement,and the lack of wall control joints. The brick
wall is not cracked, and structural failure is not anticipated. One
corrective measure could be adding one vertical control joint at each wall.
(7) Doors: Most doors have been replaced with FRP doors, except the
exterior hollow metal door and frame at the concessions that is rusting
and requires preparation and repainting, or complete replacement with
FRP
(8) Some door closers have rusting arms.

(9) Windows: The replaced lifeguard window requires multiple beads of
perimeter sealant.
2.2.3 Interior Construction/Interior Finishes
(1) Wall painting required at staff areas.
(2) For best longevity, the interior exposed roof structure (wood decking,
siding & beams) requires staining. Preparation and painting at the
connector glu-lam beam bracket connectors. There are also rusting
brackets at the chemical/equipment areas.
2.2.4 Building Code/Accessibility
(1) Eyewash/shower stations are not provided at the Chemical Storage
areas.
(2) All room signage is not compliant with raised characters, braille and
proper mounting.
(3) There is some very apparent movement taking place in the pool deck
north of the bath house. Slopes are in excess of the 1/20 maximum and
many exceed 1/12. This is an accessibly issue, potential safety concern
(stumbling), and a sign of a bigger issue of continued long-term
displacement.
(4) The concessions concrete service counters/windows are 44" high, and
34-36" is required for a service counter.
(5) The central admission concrete service counter is 40" high, and 34-36" is
required for a service counter.
(6) There is not an accessible shower stall at the Women's Changing Room.
(7) There is not an accessible changing bench at either Locker Room.
(8) The baby changing stations are in poor condition and not accessible.
(9) The Men's accessible toilet is located to far from the toilet partition (21"
vs. 18").Toilet partition replacement may correct this.
(10) The accessible mirrors are too high to the bottom edge (46" vs. the
required 40"). Provide supplemental full height mirror.
(11) The Men's accessible shower head is 54"vs. 48".
(12) Some soap dispensers are too high; 48" maximum required.
(13) Offset lavatory traps and insulation required; see plumbing comments.
(14) Accessible toilet seats are slightly too high (3/8"+/-). Replace the seats
with a low profile seat for compliance.
(15) Sloping locker room floor surfaces are steeper than the maximum 1/50
cross slope requirement in some areas.
(16) Multi-roll toilet paper dispensers mounted in close proximity above grab
bars are an impedance to use of the grab bars.
(17) A family changing room is not provided. This was not required at the
time of the original construction, and therefore is not required. Adding
such a room is one strategy to address accessibility needs and gender
neutral issues.

2.3 Plumbing, HVAC& Electrical Facility Reviews
2.3.1 Splash Pool Mechanical Room
(1) Water service has meter and backflow preventer, then splits to
underground line for pool fill,and to a RPZ for bathhouse building water.
Copper and steel piping have surface corrosion, but is not in danger of
failure.
(2) Domestic water heater built in 2009 Rheem-Ruud 199,000 BTU input with
91 gallon storage. It is in fair condition with outside cover rusting, and a
few spots of rust through. Expect to replace unit in 5 to 10 years. Water
piping in vicinity of water heater has external corrosion,but not in danger
of failing. Should be replaced when water heater is replaced.
(3) Water heater has an ASSE1017 thermostatic mixing valve that serves
single temperature showers and lavatories. Current code requires ASSE
1069 for showers.
(4) Domestic hot water recirculation pump appears to be in okay condition.
Pump does not have any automatic controls. Energy code requires
thermostat and demand controls.
(5) Water heater flue and gas piping are rusty. They should be replaced
when water heater is replaced.
(6) Gas regulator vents relieve outside under roof eve. If regulator leaks gas
it will reenter the building through the screened openings. Relief should
run up through roof or up beyond the roof edge.
(7) Two ceiling fans are in fair condition with rusty blades and housings.They
are past their average life expectancy, but not critical to room operation.
Replace when they fail.
(8) Chemicals are used and stored in pump room, there is no leak detection
or mechanical ventilation. Switching of fan and lights should be from
outside room if chlorine is stored in the room.
(9) The electrical panels and disconnects have a significant amount of
corrosion. We inspected a disconnect that had significant exterior
corrosion and found no corrosion on any of the working parts or electrical
connections. It is our recommendation that all operable handles be
operated once a year to provide a level of assurance that they will
operate when needed. The corrosion wasn't sufficient to compromise
the integrity of the metal.
2.3.2 Men's Locker/Shower Room
(1) Showers have one drain for multiple heads. Current plumbing code does
not allow water from one person to travel past another's shower.
(2) ADA shower does not meet requirements. Head is 4'-4" above floor;
current ADA calls for 4'-0".
(3) Lavatories do not have ADA insulation protection on waste and water
piping.
(4) Cold water piping is insulated with ASJ jacketed fiberglass insulation that
is falling apart. New insulation should be installed, and have a water
proof insulation jacket.
(5) Hot water and hot water return piping is not insulated. System has hot
water recirculation and should be insulated.

(6) Room has a hose bib without code required backflow preventer. Install
a screw on vacuum backflow preventer.
2.3.3 Women's Locker/Shower Room
(1) Some showers have drain for multiple heads or drains in adjacent stall,
current plumbing code does not allow water from one person to travel
past another's shower.
(2) ADA shower does not meet requirements. Head is 4'-4" above floor;
current ADA calls for 4'-0".
(3) Lavatories do not have ADA insulation protection on waste and water
piping.
(4) Cold water piping is insulated with ASJ jacketed fiberglass insulation that
is falling apart. New insulation should be installed, and have a water
proof insulation jacket.
(5) Hot water and hot water return piping is not insulated, system has hot
water recirculation and should be insulated.
(6) ADA water closet flush valve does not meet requirements because the
handle is not facing the open side of stall. Can either re-pipe or install
automatic flush sensor unit.
(7) Room has a hose bib without code required backflow preventer. Install
a screw on vacuum backflow preventer.
2.3.4 Concessions Rooms
(1) Electric water heater is an electric 120V, 2000W 10 gallon unit
manufactured 5-2005. It is in okay condition. Water heater system does
not have a thermostatic mixing valve. Code requires an ASSE1017
thermostatic mixing valve at water heater.
(2) Lavatory does not have insulation and faucet handles, which does not
meet ADA requirements.
(3) Room has a hose bib without code required backflow preventer. Install
a screw on vacuum backflow preventer.
(4) All receptacles in kitchen area need to be GFI.
2.3.5 Exterior
(1) Natural gas pipe comes out of the ground next to the building and enters
mechanical room about 6" above floor. It is a potential tripping hazard
outside.
(2) Outside hose bibs require backflow preventers. Install a screw on
vacuum backflow preventer.
2.3.6 Main Pool Mechanical Room
(1) Main pool gas heater is Raypak model P-3500. Input = 3,500 MBH,
output= 2,870 MBH. This unit was installed in 2008 and replaced a
smaller heater. BTU capacity units require 2 free area openings of 6.1 SF
each; one commencing within 12" of floor, and the other within 12" of
top of enclosure.
(2) Wall hose bib does have a vacuum breaker backflow preventer, but
appears to be leaking water. Unit needs to be repaired.

3.2 Architectural/Civil Facility Review
3.2.1 Site
(1) Some interior and exterior cconcrete sidewalks are cracked and in need
of spot repairs.
(2) There are indications of inadequate inlet capture in the parking lot
adjacent to the concession stand, and the lack of curb and gutter allows
for runoff to impact the structure and area around it.
(3) Longitudinal slope for designated accessible parking stalls is too great.
This could be addressed with parking lot rehabilitation in the future.
(4) Signage for designated accessible parking stalls should be replaced or
added.
(5) The curb ramp between parking and the accessible route to the facility
entry are lacking detectable warning panels. Detectable warning should
be added. The curb along the ramp is somewhat of a tripping hazard as
well.
(6) Rim of area drain between playground and water playground should be
raised, and the grading adjusted to reduce the slope in the turf area to
improve maintenance and safety.
(7) There is no accessible route to the playground in the pool area.
(8) The playground surface is not ADA compliant, and also creates a
maintenance issue with sand being tracked onto the pool deck.
(9) Drain for the foot washing station between the pool and the playground
appears to be plugged. This should be cleaned, and it is recommended
the line be televised at that time to check its condition.
(10) There is insufficient lighting on the top platform of the Slide Tower for
evening hours of operation.
(11) Wall-pack lighting should be added to the east side of the concession
stand.
(12) A vertical separation in the concrete sidewalk under the south Sunshade
Structure should be ground down or replaced.
(13) Slide Tower (see aquatics) requires complete prep and repaint of the
streel structure, along with provisions to anchor the sunshade structure
down to the platform.
(14) The concrete block landscape wall near side concessions entry has a small
missing cap section.
(15) There are steel railings mounted in the concrete deck. These rails are
rusty at their base at some locations. Repairs and regular repainting
needed.
(16) No exterior security system is provided resulting in higher likelihood of
vandalism and property damage.

3.2.2 Exterior Envelope
(1) Roofs: Asphalt shingle roofing is 5 years old at the Bath House and in
apparent good condition. Asphalt shingle roofing at the Concession
Building does not match that of the Bath House;thus its age is uncertain,
but also in apparent good condition.
(2) Wood fascia, soffit (at serving area) and gable siding at Concessions
Building along with the Bath House soffit areas with exposed wood
laminated beams and wood decking requires cleaning and staining.
(3) Exterior Walls are masonry with a brick exterior face and a concrete
masonry unit interior face. The walls are in good condition with sealant
joints(control joints and opening perimeters) that are in need of removal
and replacement at both the exterior and interior side of the walls. Some
north facing brick areas at the base of wall require cleaning on both
buildings.
(4) There are limited exposed steel lintels at openings and some are rusty;
requires preparation and painting. There are some locations at steel
lintel bearing with mortar cracking and require mortar joint repair.

4.0 RECOMMENDATIONS FOR REPAIR AND/OR REPLACEMENT
4.1 General Comments
The aquatic facilities are in solid condition, but do have on-going issues and deficiencies
due to its age and configuration. If the facilities remain for long term use, upgrades are
recommended to accommodate staff and public needs.
A new facility(s) offers the most positive attributes. Some advantages include increased
user ship and lower long term major maintenance needs. New facilities could address
current and future needs, along with provisions that allow for simple future expansion
and amenities.
General user ship observations conveyed by the City include the fact that the Legion Pool
is embedded in a neighborhood with a seemingly more remote general community access
and community visibility, but the facility does see greater usage and neighborhood
patronage. The VFW pool, however, is located in a more general area from access
standpoint with more dedicated parking infrastructure and is located in the same park as
the Dubuque Community Center.
4.2 Cost Avoidance
Any effort to address the City of Dubuque's facility and department needs requires a
strategy to avoid spending money on facilities that will be replaced in the long-term due
to inadequacies. The avoidance of such inefficient expenditures is desirable. If major
building projects are undertaken,such a strategy can be expected to require a larger initial
expenditure to reap the benefit of such long term savings and department efficiencies.
In the process of remodeling existing facilities (if they are not expanded), cost savings
based on reduced energy consumption can be achieved by improving the exterior
envelope construction of the buildings with added insulation and replacement windows.
However, when new construction replaces existing facilities, higher energy consumption
costs are often encountered. New facilities are often larger than the ones they replace
and mechanical and ventilation requirements meeting today's building codes are more
stringent. With proper development and added investment in sustainable technologies,
energy consumption will be reduced from an option without such measures.
4.3 Sustainability
A positive goal to consider is the sustainable means and methods which would best
develop the City's facilities. Sustainable means can be achieved with the use of energy
efficient equipment and design along with items made of renewable materials.
Sustainable measures are those which fulfill present and future needs while preserving
and not harming renewable resources through unique human-environmental systems of
a site or building,thus including air,water, land,energy,and human ecology and/or those
of other off-site sustainable systems.
The built environment associated with the City's buildings and grounds is a key
consideration when addressing this goal. This is a very relevant consideration, between
the resources needed to construct and maintain the facility and the energy consumed by
a facility.

2016 Aquatics Facility Evaluation Dubuque, Iowa
Ideally added efficiencies can be captured as part of the ongoing improvement efforts
and possible replacement. Such sustainable measures should save the City money in the
long run, and thus be a good investment and of positive value. Though this report does
not develop specific sustainable measures,any proposed project with renovation or new
construction should be developed and constructed with sensitivity to sustainability.
4.4 Recommended Improvements
The recommended improvements of this overview study are general in nature. The items
identified are specific to perceive needs, and DO NOT include ongoing facility general
maintenance items that are not deficient at this time. They can vary in nature from code
improvements, maintenance improvements to aesthetic improvements. Priorities are
subjective to the City's consideration, and the needs can intermingle and vary based on
implementation. Accordingly the following list of priority categories may merge and
intertwine, but the following offers some groupings for the City to consider.
Priority Types:
Priority Immediate Observed Life Safety, Hazardous and priory Physical
Conditions.
Priority B 1 to 2 years; Maintenance items or non-priority code items.
Priority 1 to 4 years; lower priority maintenance item, performance
enhancing or code deficiency that is otherwise grandfathered
(optional).
Priority D 1 to 6 years (optional); aesthetic amenity Improvement to
provide greater enjoyment to the patrons.
Not all identified deficiencies can be easily addressed by a renovation effort. In some case
facility replacement may be more practical, and thus renovation costs for such items are
not budgeted. Such items include the small and inadequate concessions facilities.
The following cost estimates are general and very approximate, for general budgeting
purposes and "Big-Picture' facility consideration. The nature of costs can vary widely
based on the method of how the work is combined and implemented. When the project
priorities and the desired work are identified, it is recommended to work with an
architect/engineer to further develop the detailed solutions to thoroughly address the
facility needs. Costs do not include Architectural and Engineering fees since those fees
can vary greatly depending on the nature of services provided.

4.5 Facility Options
The Dubuque Park System operates two similar swimming pool facilities,the Flora Park
Pool and the Nicholas J. Sutton Pool. Both facilities consist of a swimming pool, water
slides and a wading pool. Both facilities were built within five years of each other, and
are experiencing similar issues. Perceived tentative "big-picture"options to address the
needs identified include the following options:
Option One: "Status Quo' - Invest in improving the existing facilities and
forecast for short and long term expenses.
The minimal investment which should be considered for each facility is
evaluation of each pool to determine water loss source, and a VGB analysis of
the wading pool. This evaluation would determine the best way to stabilize the
pool's operations and to ascertain the safety of the wading pools' submerged
outlets. Projected costfor this analysis is$20,000 - $50,000 perfacility.
Based upon the general findings of this evaluation, maintaining the existing
pools facilities will require an approximate investment within the next five-six
years as follows:
Sutton Pool Facility
Buildings/Site $265,000 to$430,000
Aquatics $1,000,000 to$2,000,000
Total $1,265,000to$2,430,000
Flora Pool Facility
Buildings/Site $224,000 to$335,000
Aquatics $1,200,000 to$2,�00,000
Total $1,425,000to$2,635,000
Note:There are also other optional improvements listed the report.
Option Two: "Replacement" - Complete facility replacement for one or both
facilities. It is understood that maintaining aquatics facilities in two locations
similar to the existing is desired to serve the residence well. Replacing the
existing pools with a new facility obviously varies with the size and program of
the facility contemplated. If the Sutton and Flora pools were replaced"in kind",
the aquatics works (excluding buildings & site development) investment would
likely be about 4.2 million at Sutton, and 4.6 million for Flora. Again, this is
replacement of pools, decks, slides and activities with a substantially similar
product. Costs do not include work related to buildings, perimeter fencing,
parking or site infrastructure. If additional recreation components were to be
considered, such as a lazy river or an activity pool, an additional investment of
1.1 million to 1.8 million to each facility would add both entertainment value and
capacity to the facilities.
For the projected cost a replacement facility that is similar to the existing, and
one that is enhanced from the existing reference the Example Ballpark Budget
Summaries on the next page.

Facts
The Nicholas J. Sutton (N1S) pools are located at 1900 Hawthorne St., in the north part of
Dubuque,about a block from the Peosta Channel of the Mississippi River. N1S is a recreation
facility, and supports local swim lessons and family recreation.
The N1S center has two pools; a swimming pool, and a wading pool. The swimming pool has six
(6) lap lanes, a diving well which supports a one (1) meter springboard and a three (3) meter
springboard, a slide plunge area, and a zero-depth area with a partially divided tot area.
The swimming pool measures approximately 91' in width and 186' in length. Pool depths range
from 0'-0" at one end to 13'-0" at the diving area. The surface area of the pool is approximately
12,927 SF, and contains approximately 214,820 gallons of water. The pool's perimeter is
approximately 681 If.
The wading pool is approximately 30'x 50', with pool depths ranging from 0'-0"to 26". The
surface area of the pool is approximately 2,255 SF, and contains approximately 21,600 gallons
of water. The wading pool perimeter is approximately 192 If.
Observations
Swimming Pool:
Pool Structure:
The swimming pool has a standard SCY lap pool configuration, with a 6lane, 25-yard course
across its width. The Pool has a seating curb in the shallow end, and a mushroom activity. The
pool has a concrete bulkhead (10' x 60') which serves as the pool's surge tank. The pool is a cast
concrete shell with a painted finish, painted depth and lane markings and perimeter gutter
handholds. The pool has a roll out style perimeter gutter system and floor inlet return system.
The pool structure appears well maintained and in fair condition.
• There is evidence of numerous cracks in the pool shell, which have been repaired. (Photos 1
&2)
• There are several joints in the pool, which do not have corresponding joints in the bulkhead.
These joints have translated to cracks in the bulkhead. (Photos 3 & 4)
• The pool has an area of zero depth that exceeds static water elevation. (Photo 5)
• There are no starting platforms.
• Staff reports that the pool finish requires repainting every 5 years. (Photo 6)
• There are numerousjoints, many with missing or compromised sealant. (Photo 7)
• Staff reported excessive water loss, marking the side of the pool to track water loss when
the pool was closed. (Photo 8)
• There is exposed reinforcing steel near one of the bulkhead scuppers. (Photo 9)

Gutter System and Inlets:
The pool's gutter system consists of a roll-out style perimeter gutter with fiberglass grating. The
gutter handhold is formed concrete. The inlet return system is located in the floor of the pool.
Per the drawings,there are 28 inlets distributed across the floor surface of the pool.
• Staff reported that portions of the gutter do not skim when the pool is in quiescence. There
is evidence of this in the pool floor. (Photo 5)
Main Drains:
The pool has a single submerged outlet; 18"x8'-0", per the drawings. Review of outlets for
compliance with Virginia Grahame Baker Act (VGB) is not part of this evaluation, and is assumed
to have been completed previously by the Dubuque Park District (DPD). The submerged outlet
was not observable at the time of the site visit. (Photo 10)
Wading Pool:
Pool Structure:
The wading pool is a shallow pool, with a maximum water depth of 26". The pool is a cast-in-
place concrete shell with a paint finish, ceramic tile depth markings and PVC perimeter gutter
grating. The gutter handhold is formed concrete, and has a floor inlet return system. The pool
structure appears well maintained and in good shape.
• There was no evidence of cracks in the pool shell.
• The pool finish has severely discolored. (Photo 11)
• Pool depth marking tile appeared to be generally in good shape
• The Wading pool has an activity structure (Waterplay System model 212). The activity
structure is in fair condition, displaying damaged parts and corrosion. (Photos 12 -15)
Gutter System and Inlets:
The pools gutter system consists of a deck level perimeter gutter with PVC grating. The gutter
grating appears to be in good condition. The inlet return system is located in the floor of the
pool. There are 10 inlets distributed across the floor surface of the pool, per the drawings.
Main Drains:
The wading pool has three submerged outlets; one in the floor,two located on the west wall.
Review of these outlets for compliance with Virginia Grahame Baker Act (VGB) is not part of the
scope of this evaluation, and is assumed to have been completed previously by DPD. The
submerged outlets display a VGB compliant cover. Staff provided a copy of a certification of
compliance and a design for the sidewall submerged outlets prepared and signed by Gregory L.
Ethington, PE. (Appendix A)
• The observer noted that the sidewall outlet piping is less than 1.5 times the pipe diameter
from the outlet cover. (Photo 16)
• Staff reported that the floor outlet is piped to the surge side of the tank, as opposed to the
backwash side as shown in the drawings (Drawing Ml). This outlet should be evaluated for
code &VGB compliance.

Pool Area Deck and Deck Equipment
The perimeter decks around the pools are in generally good condition. Deck equipment
includes lifeguard chairs, grab rails,a diving board and stand, stanchions and rails. Deck
equipment is in generally good condition.
• There are 10 sets of ladders located around the perimeter of the swimming pool, and one
set of stairs. Two of these sets of ladders are loose.
• The swimming pool's perimeter exceeds 300 LF, requiring one primary means and one
secondary means of accessibility under the recreation accessibility law. Staff reported that
the swimming pool has a portable lift. The pool lacks a secondary means of access.
• There is one 1-meter diving board (Duraflex board) on a Durafirm stand located with the
swimming pool. The board is in good condition; the stand is in good condition. (Photo 17)
• There is one 3-meter diving board (Duraflex board) on a Durafirm stand located with the
swimming pool. The board is in good condition; the stand is in good condition. A custom-
built access ladder to the three meter has been added. (Photo 18)
• The waterslide and tower are in fair condition:
o Slide piping is unsupported. (Photo 19)
o Stairs have open risers. (Photo 20)
o Rails &supports exhibit corrosion. (Photo 21)
o The slide flume has been painted,this finish is failing. (Photos 22 & 23)
Exposed Piping and Mechanical Equipment
Swimming Pool:
The pool's mechanical system is in the pool mechanical building. The swimming pool's
mechanical system generally consists of surge capacity,filtration and chemical treatment, and
pool heating systems. The swimming pool has a concrete surge tank with a concrete cap,
located in the deck bulkhead area. It is connected via gutter depth to a pit located on the east
side of the pool's dive area. Staff reported no operational issues. Pool heat is provided by a pool
heater.
• Piping is a combination of cast iron and schedule 80 PVC. Small cast iron piping, and valve
extensions are in poor condition. The balance of the piping is in fair condition. (Photo 24 &
25)
• Piping support is unbraced pipe saddles and pipe. (Photo 26)
• A piping schematic was provided, but not posted. (Photo 27)
• The filtration pump is vertical turbine;the pump motor is 25 HP (per drawing 26),the
pump's flowrate is not legible. The pump motor has been replaced,and is in good
condition. The turbine appears to be in fair condition. (Photo 28)
• The slide pump is vertical turbine;the pump motor is 25 HP (per drawing 26),the pump's
flowrate is not legible. The pump motor has been replaced, and is in good condition. The
turbine appears to be in fair condition. (Photo 28)

• Both turbines are protected by a single strainer basket, which is lifted by a winch system.
(Photo 29)
• The pool heater appears to be in good condition. (Photo 30)
• The pool has a UV system; it appears to be in good condition.
• Staff reported that the pool has a drain down line which evacuates to a nearby detention
basin. The drain down line is left open during the off season, and equalizes the pool with
the nearby river elevation in the spring.
Wading Pool:
The wading pool's mechanical systems, consisting of surge capacity,filtration and chemical
treatment are in a separate pool mechanical space located in the bathhouse structure. The
wading pool's surge tank is a concrete structure, located to the north of the wading pool, and
has two sides, a 4,500-gallon surge tank, and a 1,500-gallon backwash tank. The dive pool's
heat is provided by a pool heater.
• Piping is schedule 40 PVC. (Photo 31)
• A piping schematic was not posted.
• The filtration pump is a Pac Fab CPSK,the pump motor is 7.5 HP,the pump is tagged for a
flow rate of 200 gpm at 75'TDH per the drawings. The pump appears to be in fair condition.
(Photo 32)
• There are two activity pumps, both are Pac Fab CPSK,the pump motor is 15 HP. These
pumps also appear to be in fair condition. Staff reported that two pumps are not required
to run the activity,staff operates only one at a time. (Photo 33)
• The wading pool activity pumps are supplied via two side wall submerged outlets. The
suction pipes are less than 1.5 pipe diameters from the outlet covers. The pumps are
protected by an SVRS device. (Photo 34) (Appendix A)
• The pool heater appears to be in good condition.
• The Wading pool UV system appears to be in fair condition.
Filtration and Chemical Treatment
Swimming Pool:
The swimming pool has a High Rate Sand (HRS)filtration system consisting of three vertical
steel filters (Miami Tank), providing 115.5 SF of total filter area. Chemical treatment uses liquid
chlorine. pH balance uses muriatic acid.
• The swimming pool's filtration system has a flow meter range of 0-1300 GPM.
• The pool's filters appear to be in poor condition, exhibiting signs of internal corrosion.
(Photos 35 &36)
• The swimming pool's filters have been in service for approximately 25 years. It is
recommended that the sand media be replaced approximately every 10 years.
• The pool's chemical treatment is controlled by a Chemtrol chemical controller, which is in
good condition. (Photo 37)

• Liquid chlorine is stored in multiple containers. (Photo 39)
Wading Pool:
The wading pool has a High Rate Sand (HRS) filtration system consisting of two vertical
fiberglass filters (Pentair Model TR-140), providing 14.12 SF of total filter area. Chemical
treatment uses liquid chlorine. pH balance uses muriatic acid.
• The wading pool system has a calculated filtration rate of 14.16 GPM/SF.
• The wading pool's calculated turnover rate is 108 minutes.
• The wading pool's filtration system has a flow meter range of 0-400 GPM.
• The wading pool's filters appear to be in good condition. (Photo 40)
• The wading pool's heater appears to be in fair condition. (Photo 41)
• The wading pool has a supplemental UV system, which is in fair condition. (Photo 42)
• Much of the wading pool's mechanical space metal components exhibit corrosion. Observer
noted open acid container, recommending that this open area be closed, with air vent piped
to exterior. (Photo 43)
• The pool's single floor drain is shown on the drawings (Ml)to be piped to the backwash
side of the tank structure,for pool draining purposes. Staff reported that this pipe is routed
to the surge side of the structure. This means the floor submerged outlet could be
considered non-VGB compliant.
• The wading pool's filters have been in service for approximately 15 years. It is
recommended that the sand media be replaced approximately every 10 years.
As mentioned previously,the pools use liquid chlorine as their sanitizer, and hydrochloric acid
(Photo 43) for pH balance. Each pool's water chemistry is monitored and controlled through a
Chemtrol automatic chemical controller, which are in good condition. (Photo 44)
Safety and Code Issues
Americans with Disabilities Act(ADA) Requirements
On September 15, 2010,the President signed into law provisions of the July 23, 2004 ADAAG
guidelines applying to recreation facilities. Title II facilities (public entities) had until March 15,
2012 to comply with requirements.
Water Technology, Inc.'s ADA evaluation was limited to the pool area only, and did not include
perimeter offices,doors, access, etc.
The NJS swimming pool center does not meet the requirements of ADA in the following areas:
WT/
W A r E a T E 0 H NO L 0 0 V i No LEADERS IN AQUATIC PLANNING, DESIGN AND ENGINEERING

• The pool's perimeter exceeds 300 LF, requiring two accessible means of entry. The
swimming pool lacks a compliant secondary means of access.
Iowa Department of Public Health Swimming Pool and Spa Program (IPSP) Requirements
The N1S swimming pool and wading pool are non-compliant with the following:
Submerged Outlets IPSP 641-15.4(4)h(3) requires that a pool with a fully submerged outlet that
is not unblockable and that is directly connected to a pump must have a Safety Vacuum Release
(SVRS) device, and that device is tested at the frequency recommended by the manufacturer,
and that the date and time of each of these tests be recorded.
• The wading pool has three SVRS devices, no test results were posted.
Recirculation Systems IPSP 641-15.5(5)b(5) requires that a wading pool have a turnover rate of
60 minutes.
• The wading pool has a turnover rate of 108 minutes.
Main Drain Systems IPSP 641-15.5(10)b requires that if a pool has a main drain connected to
the recirculation system,there shall be two main drains, or the single main drain shall be
unblockable.
• The wading pool has a single main drain connected via the surge tankto the recirculation
system.
Main Drain Systems IPSP 641-15.5(10)b(4) requires that field fabricated sumps shall be
designed in accordance with the ASME standard and shall be certified by an engineer licensed
in Iowa.
• The wading pool wall sumps may lackthis certification.

Conclusions
The N1S pools have been generally well maintained and cared for. The primary cha l lenges to
their continued usefulness differs with each body of water:
• Swimming Pool: water loss, pool mechanical age, activities.
• Wading pool: submerged outlet certifications and activity structure condition.
Recommended Improvements
Proposed improvements are assigned a priority level, which determinesthe importance of the
repair/improvement. The priority level is assigned to an improvement based on the following:
priority,time frame, and assessment criteria. Proposed improvement options are subdivided by
pool for clarity.
• Priority
A. Time Frame: immediate to one year.
B. Assessment Criteria: deterioration of structures; health and human safety deficiencies;
Iowa Department of Public Health Code compliance; maintenance items that will reduce
future maintenance; maintenance improvements that can be performed by
maintenance.
• Priority B
A. Time Frame: onetotwoyears.
B. Assessment Criteria: repairs that will be required in the near future; improvements that
will reduce or eliminate future maintenance; Iowa Department of Public Health Code
compliance; maintenance improvements that can be performed by maintenance.
• Priority C
A. Time Frame: one to four years.
B. Assessment Criteria: improvements that will improve the performance of the facility.
• Priority D
A. Time Frame: one to six years.
B. Assessment Criteria: Improvements that provide greater enjoyment to the patrons.
The following are recommended options. Associated with each recommendation is a budget
opinion of probable cost, which includes project development cost, such as fees,testing,
contingencies and reimbursables.

Observations
Swimming Pool:
Pool Structure:
The swimming pool has a standard SCY lap pool configuration, with an 8 lane, 25-yard course
across its width. The pool has a seating curb with two fountain sprays in the shallow end. The
pool has a concrete bulkhead (10' x 60') which serves as the pool's surge tank. The pool is a
cast-in-place concrete shell with a paint finish, painted depth and lane markings and perimeter
gutter handholds. The pool has a roll-out style perimeter gutter system and floor inlet return
system, except at the diving area,which has wall inlets. The pool structure appears well
maintained and in fair condition.
• There is evidence of cracks in the pool shell, primarily in perimeter walls, which have been
repaired. (Photos 1 -3)
• There are instances of joints in the pool, which do not have corresponding joints in the
bulkhead. These joints have translated to cracks in the floor. (Photos 4 &5)
• There are no starting platforms.
• Staff reports that the pool finish requires repainting every 5 years. (Photo 6)
• Staff reported water loss, marking the side of the pool to track water loss when the pool
was closed. (Photo 7)

• There are two activity pumps, both are Pac Fab CPSK,the pump motor is 15 HP. These
pumps also appear to be in fair condition. Staff reported that two pumps are not required
to run the activity,staff operates only one at a time. (Photo 32)
• The wading pool activity pumps are supplied via two side wall submerged outlets. The
suction pipes are less than 1.5 pipe diameters from the outlet covers. The pumps are
protected by an SVRS device. (Photo 33)
• The pool heater appears to be in good condition. (Photo 34)
Filtration and Chemical Treatment
Swimming Pool:
The swimming pool has a High Rate Sand (HRS)filtration system consisting of three vertical
steel filters (Miami Tank); providing 132.6 SF of total filter area. Chemical treatment uses liquid
chlorine. pH balance uses muriatic acid.
• The pool'sfilters appearto be in fair condition, exhibiting signs of corrosion atthe access
doors. (Photo 35)
• The swimming pool's filters have been in service for approximately 25 years. It is
recommended thatthe sand media be replaced approximately every 10years.
• The pool's chemical treatment is controlled by a Chemtrol chemical controller, which is in
good condition. (Photo 36)
• The pool has a supplemental UV system. (Photo 37)
• Liquid chlorine is stored in multiple containers. (Photo 38)
Slide Plunge Pool:
The slide plunge pool shares the swimming pool's mechanical system. The plunge pool receives
chemically treated water entering the pool thru floor inlets,and exiting the pool via scuppers
and piping to the swimming pool surge tank.
Wading Pool:
The wading pool has a High Rate Sand (HRS) filtration system consisting of two vertical
fiberglass filters (Pentair Model TR-140); providing 14.12 SF of total filter area. Chemical
treatment uses liquid chlorine. pH balance uses muriatic acid.
• The wading pool system has a calculated filtration rate of 14.16 GPM/SF.
• The wading pool's calculated turnover rate is 108 minutes.
• The wading pool's filtration system has a flow meter range of 0-400 GPM.

• Much of the wading pool mechanical space metal components exhibit corrosion. Observer
noted open acid container, recommending that this open area be closed, with air vent piped
to exterior. (Photo 41)
• The pool's single floor drain is shown on the drawings (Ml) piped to the surge side of the
structure. This means the floor submerged outlet could be considered non-VGB compliant.
• The wading pool's filters have been in service for approximately 15 years. It is
recommended that the sand media be replaced approximately every 10 years.
As mentioned previously,the pools use liquid chlorine as their sanitizer, and hydrochloric acid
(Photo 41)for pH balance. Each pool's water chemistry is monitored and controlled through a
Chemtrol automatic chemical controller, which are in good condition (Photo 42).
Safety and Code Issues
Americans with Disabilities Act(ADA) Requirements
On September 15, 2010,the President signed into law provisions of the July 23, 2004 ADAAG
guidelines applying to recreation facilities. Title II facilities (public entities) had until March 15,
2012 to comply with requirements.
Water Technology, Inc.'s ADA evaluation was limited to the pool area only, and did not include
perimeter offices,doors, access, etc.
The FPS does not meet the requirements of ADA in the following areas:
• The pool's perimeter exceeds 300 LF, requiring two accessible means of entry. The
swimming pool lacks a compliant secondary means of access.
Iowa Department of Public Health Swimming Pool and Spa Program OPSPI Requirements
The FPS Swimming Pool and Wading pool are non-compliant with the following:
Submerged Outlets IPSP 641-15.4(4)h(3) requires that a pool with a fully submerged outlet that
is not unblockable and that is directly connected to a pump must have a Safety Vacuum Release
(SVRS) device, and that device is tested at the frequency recommended by the manufacturer,
and that the date and time of each of these tests be recorded.
• The wading pool has three SVRS devices, no test results were posted.
Recirculation Systems IPSP 641-15.5(5)b(5) requires that a wading pool has a turnover rate of
60 minutes.
• The wading pool has a turnover rate of 108 minutes.
Main Drain Systems IPSP 641-15.5(10)b requires that if a pool has a main drain connected to
the recirculation system,there shall be two main drains, or the single main drain shall be
unblockable.

• The wading pool has a single main drain connected via the surge tank to the recirculation
system.
Main Drain Systems IPSP 641-15.5(10)b(4) requires that field fabricated sumps shall be
designed in accordance with the ASME standard and shall be certified by an engineer licensed
in Iowa.
• The wading pool wall sumps may lackthis certification
Conclusions
The FPS pools have been generally well maintained and cared for. The primary challengesto
their continued usefulness differs which each body of water:
• Swimming Pool: pool mechanical age, lack of activities.
• Wading pool: submerged outlet certifications and activity structure condition.
Recommended Improvements
Proposed improvements are assigned a priority level, which determinesthe importance of the
repair/improvement. The priority level is assigned to an improvement based on the following:
priority,time frame, and assessment criteria. Proposed improvement options are subdivided by
pool for clarity.
• Priority
A. Time Frame: immediate to one year.
B. Assessment Criteria: deterioration of structures; health and human safety deficiencies;
Iowa Department of Public Health Code compliance; maintenance items that will reduce

NOTE: Building and site items are not listed in this section. See section 4.4.3 and 4.5 of the
primary report for a summary of facility options and totaling costs.
Improvement Options
Note: cost ranges provided are general anticipated costs, and do not reflect additional costs
that may be incurred for ancillary work which may be required.
Item p1- Evaluate swimming pool for water loss
Work Includes pressure testing of pipe, die testing of pool shell.
Cost Range $20,000-$40,000
Item p2-Swimming pool shell &finishes
Recommended renovations include evaluating metal drain covers for grounding& bonding, epoxy
grouting all existing cracks, removing existing sealant and backer rod &replacing, and repainting the
pool.An option to repainting the pool would be to install a special aggregate finish with tile trim.
Cost Range $132,500-$173,500
A second option would be to replace the pool finish &gutter with a Myrtha Renovaction system.This
would involve removing the existing pool gutter and finish, replacing with Renovaction panels, Myrtha
gutter, and floor system.This solution provides a "new" pool look with a durable, impervious pool finish.
A"soft floor"system could be installed in water depths less than 48", enhancing vertical activities.
Renovations of this scale would have a likely cost range of$2.5 to$2.8 million.
Items p3-Swimming pool mechanical
Recommended improvements include reconditioning the existing filters, replacing exposed piping and
reconditioning the turbines, and replacing buried cast iron gravity piping.Also recommended is
separating the slide plunge pool mechanicals from the pool system. Replacement of buried cast iron
inlet piping is not recommended, as it is cost prohibitive.
Cost Range $500,000-$705,000
Replacing the filters with new horizontal fiberglass high rate sand filters, and replacing the turbines with
new adds approximately$135,000 to $163,000.
Item H4-Slide&activities
Recommended renovations include renovation of the existing slide tower and flume, replacing the 3M
springboard with a new stand with steps. Improvements include addition of new activities, and the
addition of a climbing wall. Please note that it is likely that the climbing wall could not be used
concurrently with an adjacent springboard.
Cost Range $390,000-$500,000

cost for this is anticipated to be between $33,810 to$45,000.A second option is to replace the pool
floor with a Myrtha soft floor.The cost for this is in the range of$150,000 to $160,000.
Item p7-Wading pool mechanical
Recommendations include establishing an SVRS testing process, and supplementing the filtration to
meet current codes.Work would include a filter addition, pump replacement, UV replacement, slab
removal and replacement, and inlet piping modifications
