Title
Consider and take action on a resolution authorizing an agreement with Progressive Commercial Aquatics for the purchase of a pool blanket for the Hometown Heroes Park swimming pool in the amount not to exceed $55,880 (Director of Parks & Cultural Services)
Background:
In the off-season when the heater is in use, a pool blanket would conserve energy costs due to conserving heat, pool chemicals and water evaporation. The blanket would also save on maintenance and cleaning costs as it would protect the pool from dirt, leaves and other debris. The blanket will only be used at the Hometown Heroes Park swimming pool. The Purchasing Department issued Invitation to Bid 17-026R Pool Blanket - Revised on May 22, 2017, and received three bids on June 6, 2017, with one being a no bid. Progressive Commercial Aquatics was the only bid that provided the necessary assembly and installation required per the specifications.
Pool blankets save an estimated 50% of energy costs annually. During the winter months, the pool heater costs are estimated at $3,000 per month. With the heater running 8 months out of the year, the blankets would save an estimated $12,000 annually. About 40% of those savings would benefit the City, the other 60% benefitting the swim teams, resulting in an estimated $4,800 in savings to the City annually. Pool blankets also save an estimated 35% in chemical costs, which would save the City roughly $5,000 annually. With an estimated annual savings of $9,800 to the City, the blankets would pay for themselves in about 5-6 years. Life expectancy of the blankets is approximately 10 years.
