Body
BACKGROUND & HISTORY:
The City Park pool was closed in 2020 due to the COVID-19 Pandemic and was later drained and assessed in 2021. The assessment report identified major deficiencies, with over $2 million in repairs needed, and those repairs would still not guarantee a significant increase in the useful life of the pool. In addition, the City recently completed the City Park Master Plan and is in the process of revitalizing City Park as one of the objectives identified in the City’s Strategic Plan through a new capital improvement project titled “City Park Revitalization,” Project No. FC-2024-07. The current conceptual plans for the City Park Revitalization project include a new aquatics center. Moreover, removal of the pool and associated buildings are necessary for the revitalization of the park.

The Project was advertised for bids on January 12, 2024, pursuant to Corona Municipal Code section 3.08.090, Public projects formal bidding procedure, and purchasing policy through the City’s PlanetBids bidding portal.
