DATE: August 4, 2016
INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this memorandum is to request City Council approval of the attached
Request for Proposal (RFP) to provide consultant services for an in-depth assessment
of both Flora and Sutton Pools, provide a detailed report including a maintenance plan
and recommendations, as well as develop a master plan for long-term planning.
BACKGROUND
Originally built in 1936 (Sutton Pool) and 1955 (Flora Pool), the City Council approved
the new construction of both pools in 1990 and 1991. Since these renovations 25+
years ago, general maintenance has been conducted to the facility/infrastructure. CIP's
and general operating budgets have also been spent on equipment replacement or
repair based on manufacturer recommendations. There have been some improvements
to the facilities in the last 10 years with the installation of UV systems to both pools in
2008 as well as new chemical distribution systems in 2013. A new heater was also
installed at Sutton in 2014.
Over the next 5 years the known maintenance items include new painting of pool
surfaces ($90,000), heater replacement for Flora Pool ($30,000), UV system
replacement ($30,000) as well as another $150,000 in additional maintenance. The
average life cycle of outdoor pools is 25 to 30 years. Due to their age, the unknown
expenses for the future of these pools include infrastructure failure (pumps, piping,
surface/wall integrity, water slide foundations, etc.), ADA compliance and upgrades, and
potential changes in amenities to fit with today's societal needs (family restrooms,
transgender spaces, etc.). Staff has documented that both pools are losing water and
many of the systems are showing signs of their 25+ years of use (rust, failing joints,
1
unresponsive valves, etc.) A plan needs to be put in place to extend the life of these
City assets and a plan for the future.
DISCUSSION
As part of the City's Capital Improvement Program, $30,000 in funding has been
approved in the FY17 CIP budget (1022648-62715) to hire an aquatic consulting firm
to assess the condition of both Flora and Sutton Pools. A committee was approved to
develop the attached RFP that would allow for the selection of a consulting firm to
assess both pools. The scope of services described in the RFP requires the selected
consultant to:
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/replacement 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.

INTRODUCTION
The City of Dubuque (The City) requires aquatic facilities that function and are in good
condition to provide quality services to its customers. These facilities represent a
considerable public investment. To maintain its aquatic facility assets, the City desires
to retain one firm that can conduct an assessment of existing City aquatic facilities. This
Request for Proposals ("RFP") defines the criteria for the selection of the most
responsive Consulting Teams to provide assessment services to the City.
Historically, there has been enough of an operational and capital investment to meet the
minimum to keep them functionally of the pools operational. However there are
significant unknowns about the current condition of underground infrastructure and the
present condition of these facilities. Significant investment may be needed in the
immediate future in order to maintain health and safety. This will be used for long term
planning, prioritization of maintenance needs, funding and budgeting for the future.
BACKGROUND
The City of Dubuque owns and operates 2 outdoor municipal pools. Sutton Pool was
last renovated in 1990 and is located within an industrial area at 1900 Hawthorne St.
Flora Pool was renovated in 1991 and is located within a large community park at 2525
Green St. The current plans for both pools as well as updated equipment lists, water
usage, and participation numbers are all located on the City of Dubuque's HTTP site at
https://citvofdubuque.sharefile.com/d-sf53b603ecfe4cfe8.

SCOPE OF SERVICES
The City of Dubuque is requesting proposals from professional aquatic facility
assessment firms to provide facility condition assessment and evaluation services. The
scope of work consists of two separate but related tasks. Each task could be rewarded
separately, and therefore should be addressed and estimated individually by each firm.
In general, the Consultant shall:
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.
Task 1A - Full Facility Assessment: Including all site utilities, paved areas, pedestrian
walkways, fencing and gates, exterior lighting and landscaping, plumbing, electrical,
ADA compliance, hazardous materials, foundations and substructures, structural
systems, exterior wall systems and roofing membrane systems, and a detailed lifecycle
analysis indicating remaining useful life of existing infrastructure, buildings and systems
for the following aquatic sites:
• Flora Pool
• Sutton Pool
Task 1B - The consultant shall prepare a report based on the needs identified at
each aquatics facility. The selected consultant shall have the ability to assess the
following systems:
1) Overall condition of swimming pools
2) Swimming pool equipment and decks
3) Filtration systems, including adequacy of existing filtration, recirculation and
sanitation systems —hydro calculations
4) Chemical feed systems
5) Underground plumbing
6) Swimming pool vessels and the associated structural systems
7) Determine existing conditions
8) Recommend corrective measures, including short and long term corrections,
replacement needs with estimated costs and an estimated budget planned life
cycle costs and obsolescence information
9) Compare existing pool vessels and their gutter, filtration, and recirculation
systems, especially underground plumbing and overall enclosure with the latest
Iowa Administrative Code 641-15 and ADA
4
10)Determine compliance with current codes
11)Prepare volume and hydraulic calculations, including destructive testing when
necessary
12)Approximate structural life expectancy
13)Financial efficacy of renovation versus replacement, cost of renovation and/or
repair
14)Adequacy of existing systems
15)Costs to upgrade to include enhancements such as slides or play features
16)Costs of Architectural/Engineering services to proceed with chosen alternatives
17)Evaluate structural systems (if as built) drawings exist
18)Analyze hazardous material storage and potential for mold or algae, source
water conditions.
19)Soils testing and engineering, including preparation of a geotechnical
investigation report.
20)Adequacy of existing public utilities such as sanitary sewer, storm drainage/site
drainage, domestic water, natural gas, and electrical distribution.
The final reports shall include detailed evaluations of the following:
All Site Utilities / Paved Areas / Pedestrian Pathways / Fencing and Gates/ Exterior
Lighting and Landscaping at the aquatic sites listed.
Review of the infrastructure related to each building will include site utilities, paved
areas, pedestrian pathways, fencing, gate, exterior lighting and landscaping. Area
parking lots and roadway surfaces leading into or out of the properties will be inspected
for general condition of the asphalt-paved areas.
The inspections will address the adequacy of storm/water drainage provisions, and
identify and comment on the remaining useful life span of the paved areas. Typical
items will include cracking, stripping sub-grade failure, alligator cracking, rutting and re-
striping requirements. Fencing and gates associated with the property will be
specifically reviewed for egress, functionality of the gates and general condition of the
fencing and gates. All exterior lighting will be reviewed for adequacy of area lighting
both in the surrounding hard scape and parking facilities. Non-functional, deteriorated or
broken lighting fixtures will be identified.
Plumbing
The intent of the plumbing inspection is to review the operational function and condition
of the existing plumbing systems. Inspection will include review of the water system,
sanitary and storm system, drinking fountains and plumbing fixtures. Inspection will
include estimation of remaining usefulness and service life of fixtures and equipment.
Electrical / Lighting
The intent of this area of inspection is to address, in general, the electrical serviceability
and usability of the electrical systems and equipment. This inspection will include a
review of applicable raceway, bus ways, under floor raceways, conductors, cable
systems, outlets, switchboards/panel boards, grounding, main panel and sub-panel and

wood siding, concrete, masonry block or brick lay-up and paint protected coated
surfaces. Assessment of damage or deterioration to exterior exposed wood framed or
timber supported structures such as awnings or other components will also be
performed. Inspections will also include review of window and door systems.
Roofing Membrane System
The roofing membrane system will be visually inspected for damage or otherwise
deteriorated roofing systems to include review for adequacy of drainage and flashing as
well as evidence of water infiltration into the building envelope. Specific materials and
components that exhibit evidence of deferred maintenance and may require
replacement before what would be considered standard life expectancy will be
identified.
Ceiling Systems / Floor Coverings / Interior Wall and Partition Systems
All inspections of the building interior will include a review of the ceiling systems,
flooring systems and floor coverings and interior walls and partition systems. Ceilings
and surfaces around doors, windows and roof penetrations will be inspected for
evidence or signs of leakage. Ceiling lines will be inspected for structural evidence of
irregular sloping or sagging associated with the structural roof support system.
Floor surfaces will be reviewed for damage or above normal wear and tear.
