2025 CPAC Slide Preventative Maintenance
History
Implementing an annual preventative maintenance program for the seven (7) slides and one (1) play feature located at the Centennial Park Aquatic Center (CPAC) has been a long-term objective of the Public Works Department.

In lieu of contracting this work through WhiteWater in 2025, Public Works acquired a proposal directly from Baynum as sole source proposal since they knew the manufacture specifications and it eliminates the markup from WhiteWater West Industries. A summary of the proposal from Baynum is provided below:
