Lenora Park Pool Improvements

Gwinnett County Department of Community Services solicited competitive informal written quotes for Lenora Park Pool Improvements under IWQ 1-660875, with quotes due March 23, 2022 — however, all quotes received were rejected in their entirety on March 28, 2022, and the county announced plans to revise specifications and re-bid the project.

The scope included complete removal and replacement of pool plaster down to the gunite shell in two layers, replacement of expansion joint materials, cleaning and regrouting of existing tile on pool stairs, and up to 50 square feet of selective tile removal and replacement coordinated between the county and awarded contractor. The pool is located at 4315 Lenora Church Road, Snellville, Georgia 30039. Work was required to commence within 10 days of purchase order issuance and substantially complete within 30 calendar days, with a hard deadline of May 16, 2022. Failure to meet the completion deadline incurred a penalty of $500 per day. The contractor supplied all balancing chemicals and assumed full responsibility for pool startup coordination with county staff. Bonds were not required.

Contractor qualifications included a minimum of three similar projects completed within the past ten years with references provided. Standard insurance was mandatory: workers' compensation, commercial general liability at $500,000, auto liability at $500,000, and umbrella liability at $1,000,000, with Gwinnett County named as additional insured. Contractors had to comply with the Illegal Immigration Reform Enhancements for 2013 and provide a notarized Contractor Affidavit and Agreement verifying participation in a federal work authorization program such as E-Verify.

A pre-quote conference was scheduled for March 8, 2022, at the pool site. Award was to be made to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder. The county reserved the right to reject any or all quotes, waive technicalities, and negotiate terms at its discretion. No revised solicitation timeline or updated specifications were publicly available as of the rejection notice date.
