Aquatic Center Leak Repair

The City of Pendleton, located in Union County, Oregon, is seeking proposals for the Pendleton Family Aquatic Center Leak Repair project through a competitive Request for Proposal (RFP) process. The primary objective is to address a significant water leak underneath the leisure pool and replace non-operational pool jets and water feed lines to pool toys. The procurement requires contractors to submit comprehensive proposals that include a detailed quote for repair costs, with a preference for a not-to-exceed pricing model if proposing a time and materials contract. A mandatory pre-proposal meeting was scheduled for August 11, 2022, with proposal submissions due by August 18, 2022. The city intends to award the contract by August 30, 2022, with a project completion deadline of April 15, 2023, and the expectation that the pool will be filled and ready for the season by May 22, 2023. Evaluation criteria will likely include the contractor's demonstrated expertise, proposed solution, cost-effectiveness, and ability to meet the specified timeline and technical requirements.

The contract will be subject to prevailing wage requirements and requires contractors to possess appropriate licenses and registrations. While no specific set-aside designations were explicitly mentioned, contractors must comply with various state and local regulations, including maintaining specific insurance coverages and adhering to worker protection standards. The Notice of Intent to Award indicates that Anderson Poolworks is the recommended contractor for the project, pending City Council approval at their September 6th meeting. Although a precise budget range was not specified in the documents, the project involves substantial pool infrastructure repair and replacement work. Successful bidders must demonstrate technical competence in aquatic facility repair, ability to work within strict timelines, and compliance with all municipal contracting regulations and safety standards.
