The concrete ones are cracked and broken. New furniture cost $2,364.00
Jane Miner made motion to accept Aquatech bid; Lowder bid; and purchase furniture.
Wayne Marsh seconded (See attached bids)
Discussion: Kaye Odom explained our options relating to getting the pool ready for the
2011 pool season.
Aquatech recommended that the pool be resurfaced due to the finish being completely
gone and painting was not an option if we wanted to continue the pool operation.
Resurfacing with plaster has a life expectancy of 10-12 years. Resurfacing with epoxy
is uncertain. They have managed a pool with epoxy for 4 years and it is holding up.
. Aquatech submitted a quote using the epoxy and doing the necessary
repairs with all prep work and repair of the pool deck area $14,575.00. Aquatech also
submitted a quote to do minimum repairs and clean up $4,915.00. A resident submitted
a quote for painting the pool house, guard shack, chemical bldg, pump house and all the benches for$4,800.00 and Fairfield would buy the paint.
The toilets continued to run last year and stayed out of order most of the summer. The
low volume toilets will cost less in the long run because they don’t use as much water
and will not run all the time.
The pool furniture is very old and cracked and broken.
