Title
Centennial Park Aquatic Center 3 Meter Platform
History
The three meter platform at the aquatic center is roughly sixteen (16) years old. Over time the concrete which the platform is constructed of has begun to crack and show its age. Staff recently reached out to Christopher Burke Engineering to perform an engineering assessment of the platform.
Christopher B. Burke Engineering LTD. (CBBEL) reviewed design drawings and performed an onsite inspection to make and document field observations. CBBEL then issued a technical memorandum to the Village with the engineering recommendations.
CBBEL has determined that the platform has performed well over the course of its life and believes that repairing the structure is the correct course of action. They are recommending injecting the cracks in the concrete before allowing use of the platform. In addition, they are also recommending annual inspections of the platform from this point forward.
Staff has requested that CBBEL reach out to contractors that they determine could successfully perform the work. CBBEL has estimated that the repair would cost between $6,000-$10,000.
Three contractors have been scheduled to provide written estimates to complete the work. The lowest acceptable quote will be utilized for the repair work.
As time is a critical factor in completion of this project once the quotes are received we need to move forward to complete the work prior to opening the Aquatic Center.
This agenda item is being considered by the Parks & Recreation Committee and the Village Board of Trustees on the same night.
Financial Impact
Funds for this repair will require a budget adjustment from the contingency fund to be deposited into account 283-4005-443150
Recommended Action/Motion
I move to approve accepting the lowest acceptable quote to complete the repair work for the Three Meter platform at Centennial Park Aquatic Center as outlined in the Technical Memorandum for an amount not to exceed $10,...
