Renovation of a fitness / recreation center in Sechelt, British Columbia. Completed plans call for the renovation of a fitness / recreation center.

The Regional District is seeking proposals from a qualified Contractor to replace the existing wet fire sprinkler system with a dry nitrogen system at the Sechelt Aquatic Center located at 5500 Shorncliffe Avenue, Sechelt BC. The existing system has been compromised by microbioigic corrosion and requires replacement. Replacement of the system components in some areas will require; working at heights of up to 32’ feet and over pool basins, replacing system components above enclosed drywall ceilings, working above and around installed mechanical equipment and painting exposed piping, fittings and hangers to match existing. To reduce the impacts of the project on the regular scheduled operations of the facility it is planned for completion in two phases over two years starting in 2023. Each phase is to be scheduled to coincide with the four week annual facilty maintenance closure which typically begins the last week of May and runs through to the 3rd week of June. Pool basins are drained and remain empty for approximately three weeks during the annual maintenance closure. Phase one will include system replacement in the mechanical and pool areas, phase two will include system replacement in the remaining areas of the facility. The Regional District desires a project approach that will minimize impact on facility users and staff. Proponents are encouraged to look for creative solutions to deliver a cost effective quality installation while minimizing complete facility downtime through the project phasing, after hours work or other methods.
