This is a condition assessment document prepared for the City of Palm Bay, Florida, evaluating the structural, mechanical, and operational status of the Palm Bay Aquatic Center. The assessment addresses the current facility condition across multiple systems including the pool structures, mechanical equipment, electrical systems, plumbing infrastructure, and building envelope. The document provides a comprehensive baseline evaluation necessary to inform operational decisions and identify maintenance priorities, capital improvement needs, and potential partnership or operational model considerations as the City seeks sustainable solutions for managing the facility. The assessment was completed on January 29, 2026, and serves as a supporting document to the City's Request for Solutions regarding the Aquatic Center's future operational viability.

The condition assessment provides detailed findings on deferred maintenance items, equipment life cycles, system functionality, and estimated costs for various remediation or replacement scenarios. This evaluation is critical to the City's evaluation of proposals, as it establishes the actual facility status and associated financial requirements that potential operators or partners must consider. The assessment informs the scope of any operational partnership, as it clearly delineates existing infrastructure conditions, ongoing maintenance obligations, and capital investments that may be necessary to sustain aquatic programs. These findings directly support the City's goal of identifying cost-effective and sustainable operational models while minimizing financial impact through informed decision-making regarding facility management approaches.
