The facility consisting of a 25m lap pool and 7m toddler pool was constructed around 1980, the facility has received numerous repairs and rectifications over its life and remains generally in alignment with its original construction. SRC has undertaken a review of the current facility and in turn developed a detailed concept design package (‘The Concept’) for the project. The refurbishment project scope will involve one (1) of two (2) options for the project: Option A involves renovation of the existing 25m pool, utilising a modular pool liner system and including the provision of a new ramp; stairs, and wet deck gutter. Option B is based on replacement of the current pool shell with a new reinforced concrete tiled pool that includes a ramp; stairs, and wet deck gutter. Associated works for both options include provision of a new water play structure, relocation of shade sail posts, balance tank, new pumping and sand filter, replacement of heating equipment, rectification to the equipment room and associated civil and electrical works. All conforming tenders must comply with this concept design and must include all works indicated. A mandatory site visit is required for all tenderers with registration of attendance in accordance with Part 3 of this Request for Tender. Tenderers who attended the previous mandatory inspection are exempt from attending the mandatory inspection for this tender process.
