1873 BATHHOUSE PROJECTS STATUS REPORT
On February 1, 1994, the City Council approved a contract with T.W. Foster, Inc., for
the renovation of the Como and Hillside Swimming Pools. Pursuant to that action,
a contract was executed and work order issued beginning the ninety(90) calendar day
contract on February 17, 1994. The original completion date of May 18 has been
delayed due to weather conditions. The revised completion dates of June 3rd for
Como Pool and June 10th for Hillside Pool have been established-.
On March 22, 1994, the City Council approved contracts with Brannon Construction
and Boyd Construction for the construction and renovation of Hillside and Como
Bathhouses, respectfully. Both projects had work orders of sixty (60) calendar days
beginning on April 18, 1994. The original completion date of June 17 is anticipated
to be met. Both projects are within the approved budget.
These changes in completion dates have been communicated to both the Morningside-
Hillside and Como communities as well as the YMCA who will operate these
facilities. Both the communities and the YMCA understand the reasons for delay and
are desirous of awaiting completion of both the pool and bathhouse to open the
facilities. They were given the option of having the pools open while the bathhouses
were being completed. Barring any unforeseen circumstances, the pools have been
scheduled for opening on June 18, 1994.
Both communities have planned dedication ceremonies. Como Pool is scheduled for
July 2 and Hillside Pool for July 3. The City Council will be notified of actual
dedication ceremony times and details once arrangements are finalized.
If the City Council desires additional information on this matter, please let me know.
