The objective of the Project is to renovate the Bishop Park Pool facility to extend the life and usefulness of the facility located at 705 Sunset Ave, Athens, GA. Renovation will not require hazardous material abatement prior to any construction activities. Materials at the building site have tested and identified no hazardous material is present. The Hazardous Material Report is included in the RFP documents. The demolition phase requires selective removal of plumbing, mechanical, electrical, flooring, and non-load bearing walls, existing structures, concrete decking, and pool. The construction phase will require the installation of but not limited to new plumbing, mechanical, electrical, pool related chemical feed systems, ADA access ramps, interior/exterior building renovations, new pump house, retaining walls, pool commissioning & start-up, perimeter fencing, and site work. Special care shall be considered during this project because the construction area is located in a public park that will remain open during construction. Bishop Park Pool was commissioned in 1977 and provides various aquatic activities for residents from May to the end of July. Various upgrades and repairs have been performed on the pool over the years but has reached the end of its service life. Additionally, it is reported that the pool losses approximately 10,000 - 15,000 gallons a day while in operation. *The value for this project is based on a financial range. The value is listed as the highest possible cost from the range provided by a stakeholder or official project document.
