REPORT TO: Honorable Mayor and City Commission
FROM: Dan McCarthy, Aquatics Director
Carole Brennan, Recreation Superintendant
Chuck Winn, Assistant City Manager
SUBJECT: Award of contract to Morrison Maierle for the engineering design of main
pool pump upgrade and natatorium lighting upgrade for the Bozeman
Swim Center.
MEETING DATE: August 23, 2010
AGENDA ITEM TYPE: Consent
RECOMMENDATION: Authorize the City Manager to sign the contract to Morrison
Maierle for the engineering design of main pool pump upgrade and natatorium lighting upgrade
for the Bozeman Swim Center not to exceed $25,355.
· Main pool pump design $11,800
· Natatorium lighting design $13,555
· Total $25,355
BACKGROUND:
Main Pool Pump:
The main pool pump malfunctioned in September of 2009. During the process of getting
the pool back on-line the aquatic staff met with many parties (repairmen, water dept., and
engineers) to determine the best fix. The pump was repaired well enough to get through the
remaining fiscal year. The design will include a new pump, variable frequency drive, and any
electrical work needed.
Natatorium Lighting:
The natatorium lighting is 35 years old, and the T12HPO lights will no longer be
manufactured starting January 2010. In replacing the lighting system we will increase the overall
lighting for the pool, while reducing the overall energy consumption. The new lighting will be a
metal halide bulb fixture (or engineered equivalent) that will have a greater light output at a
lower energy usage. The new fixtures will also be sealed against moisture, and easier for staff to
change the bulbs compared to the current system.

FISCAL EFFECTS: This project was an approved CIP item for FY 2011. The approved
budget for the pump project is $85,000. These costs result in a project balance of $73,200,
which will be used for the construction of the project. The approved budget for the natatorium
lighting is $95,000. This cost results in a project balance of $81,445, which will be used for the
construction phase of the project.
ALTERNATIVES: As suggested by the City Commission.
