As our community is aware, we made a decision to remove our Krepps Pool Aquatic Play Structure prior to the beginning of pool season due to its deteriorating condition. The structure was 22 years old.
We will be replacing the structure prior to the beginning of the 2019 season. We have a portion of capital funding from the prior fiscal year that is still available to assist in funding this project. We will also be looking to redirect a portion of current year project funds (provided by the City of Morgantown) away from equipment/fleet replacement toward this project.
March, 2019 - Our new structure has arrived!!!! It is on-site now and the installer will be working to ready it for placement over the next couple of weeks. They are currently working on plumbing for the add-on features (we made a decision during our process to purchase additional, stand-alone features that will enhance the visitor experience in the Aquatic Play Area). We are also addressing issues with the out-take line that runs from the play area back to our pump room (also over 20 years old). This line needs replaced and the City of Morgantown has graciously offered assistance to make this happen.
Total Anticipated Costs:
Structure and Components: $75,750
Installation: $93,000
August, 2018 - We advertised in RFP format for the project (documents below), invited the community to provide input on the replacement structure, and have contracted the prep and installation work.
