SUBJECT: Flora Pool Painting Project
INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this memorandum is to request that the City Council award a contract to
Fred Jackson Tuckpointing, Inc. in the amount of $50,350, for painting of the Flora Pool
Tank.
DISCUSSION
Bids were received on August 10, 2006 for painting of the Flora Pool tank. A summary
of the only bid that was received is as follows:
Bid Amount
Fred Jackson Tuckpointing, Inc. $ 50,350
This project includes painting of the main pool tank, plunge pool tank, water playground
tank, and removal and replacement of 1,200 lineal feet of sealant in pool expansion-
contraction joints. The Fiscal Year 2007 C.I.P. budget contains $35,000 for this project
so the bid is $15,350 (43.8%) over budget.
Recreation Division Manager Pat Prevenas has visited with the low bidder to ask why
the bid was so much more than we expected. Sutton Pool was painted last year at a
cost of $32,800 and we expected $35,000 to be an accurate estimate. The low bidder
explained that the price of paint was up 8% and Flora Pool is 11,000 more square feet
than Sutton Pool.
The water playground has bare concrete showing so the painting needs to be done.
Re-bidding the project would now allow enough time to complete the painting prior to
winter. A second bid was received fifteen minutes late and not opened.

Staff recommends that a contract be awarded and that the $15,350 be taken from the
following Fiscal Year 2007 C.I.P. projects:
· Renovate electric panels
· Replace recirculation valves
· Recaulk swimming pool decks
$ 8,000
$ 4,000
$ 3,350
$15,350
Both the renovate electric panels and replace recirculation valves projects have been
completed with low bids received in Fiscal Year 2006, phase I of those projects.
Recaulk swimming pool decks is being reduced by $3,350, leaving $2,650 to address
the areas needing recaulking.
RECOMMENDATION
I recommend that a contract be awarded to Fred Jackson Tuckpointing, Inc. in the
amount of $50,350 for painting the Flora Pool tank.
ACTION STEP
The action requested is that the City Council adopt the attached resolutions awarding
the Flora Pool Painting Project to Fred Jackson Tuckpointing in the amount of $50,350.
