The agenda attachment says the control room needs to be separated from the pool’s actual pump and that pump-control upgrades are necessary. It authorizes the director of Environmental Services, together with the Purchasing Director, to seek bids for that work.

The meeting discussion placed the next phase after the bathhouse project and repairs to the pool’s shallow and deep ends. It also described improvements to the pump building, replacement pumps and a shed eventually intended to house the equipment. [recording 3781s][recording 3785s][recording 3790s][recording 3795s]

This is permission to seek bids, rather than an award to a contractor. The pool attachment does not specify a price or a bid-opening date. The authorization does not establish when construction will start or finish.
