ON THE QUESTION
Mayor Donchess
Mr. Caggiano?
Mr. Caggiano
Nick Caggiano, Park & Rec Department. The Crown Hill Pool Rehabilitation we started last year, we
rehabilitated the actual surface, put in some new fixtures, we did some leveling of the pool the deck and the
next phase is to actually work on the bath house. It needs a new roof, it’s probably been roofed from some
time in the 70’s; it leaks. We need to put in new fixtures in the bath houses and the showers, counters, sinks.
So a lot of the outside interior work with sheaving and siding needs to be done. We went out to bid and Forcier
Contracting was the low bid. They’ve done work for us in the past, we want to try to get this done before pools
open in June.
Alderman O’Brien
Thank you Mr. Mayor. | was just going to say put the priority to opening day on this and it sounds like you are
already ahead of it to do so. Nothing more disappointing when one of our quality pools is closed.
Mr. Caggiano
It’s our largest pool and for a lot of the children in the neighborhood, the pool sometimes is their vacation for
the summer, they spend a lot of time there. So it is kind of important to be able to give them a good
experience, you know.
Alderwoman Lu
Is that right behind Dr. Crisp School.
Mr. Caggiano
Sort of, it is off of Burke Street, it is right next to Girls Inc.
Alderman Klee
Just one quick question | know we went with Forcier Contracting, so did it go out for bid?
Mr. Caggiano
Yes it went out to bid and we received three bids.
Alderman Klee
Three bids, that’s what | thought | read. Ok.
