ARTICLE 10 (m) Project: Town Pool Renovation CPA Category: Recreational Resources Amount Requested: $2,154,350 Amount Recommended: $2,154,350 CPC Vote: (9-0) Project Description: The Irving H. Mabee Pool Complex is a heavily used recreation facility during the summer with an average of 75,000 people utilizing the complex each year. While the facility continues to operate safely, a phased renovation approach was identified in an engineering consultant's study completed in FY2008 by Bargmann Hendrie and Archetype. The consultant's report provided the Town with a detailed list of recommended upgrades and repairs, as needed, allowing the Town to plan and budget for the improvements effectively and responsibly. $25,000 was approved for Phase I by the 2010 Annual Town Meeting and included replacement of the hot water heater, ventilation and exhaust systems and completion of top priority projects to address compliance and safety concerns. $165,000 was approved by the 2011 Annual Town Meeting for Phase II and covered interior repairs and environmental and energy efficiency enhancements, including the replacements of toilets, showers and sinks with water conserving systems in the men's and women's locker rooms. Phases I and II are complete. Both phases were funded through the Recreation Enterprise Fund Retained Earnings since CPA funding was not then available for this type of recreation project. Due to the scope and complexity of the phased renovation project, it was determined that Phase III should be divided into two parts in order to obtain a more accurate cost estimate for the project. $166,000 in CPA funds were approved by the 2016 Annual Town Meeting for partial Phase III funding. These funds provided construction/bid documents and design and engineering costs which included a mini-audit of the facility. The mini-audit provided the Town with an updated cost estimate for the construction phase of the renovation project. The FY18 request seeks funds for the remainder of Phase III which includes the replacement of the filtration systems, which were installed in 1980 and have far exceeded their life expectancy of 15 years, and the following recommended upgrades: • Reconfiguration of the wading pool and installation of new water spray features • Replacement of the existing roof • Re-plastering of the wading, main and dive pools • Replacement of the three diving boards • Reconfiguration of the three one-meter diving board rails • Installation of new lifeguard chairs • Replacement of the fencing with new black vinyl-coated chain link fencing and gates • Resetting of the copings for the wading pool • Installation of a new shade structure 6
