AGENDA
REPORT
July 26, 2022
DISCUSSION:
The City of Richmond’s Public Works Department operates two public swimming facilities, each containing approximately 300,000 gallons of water. A variety of chemicals, in vast amounts, are used to maintain water quality in these facilities. One of the facilities (Richmond Plunge) is of historical significance, which requires specialized parts, equipment, and services for quality care.
On March 31, 2022, the City issued a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) to establish a list of qualified vendors to provide supplies and services for the care and maintenance of its aquatic facilities. On April 21, 2022, two bids were received as follows:
SCP Industries dba Lincoln Aquatics – Concord, CA
Knorr Systems INT’L, LLC - Livermore, CA
The two bids were reviewed and found highly qualified by a panel of three Public Works staff members. The submittals address different, yet important needs; therefore, the Public Works Department recommends City Council’s approval to contract with SCP Industries dba Lincoln Aquatics and Knorr Systems INT’L, LLC. to provide equipment, parts, supplies, and services to the Richmond Plunge and Richmond Swim Center.
