BACKGROUND
The pool re-plaster project at Valencia Glen Park (VGP) was identified as a component of the Annual Parks Facilities Improvements and Repairs Program. Each year, this program identifies rehabilitation projects within the City of Santa Clarita’s (City) park system.
Over time, the pool plaster at VGP has deteriorated, developing numerous cracks and, more recently, exhibiting water leakage. The pool was originally constructed in 1970 and has been repaired numerous times. The pool was re-plastered in 1997, the deck was replaced in 2001, and in 2015, the north end of the pool was re-plastered after repairs to the drain and fill lines were completed. Temporary repairs to the pool shell have taken place to prevent leaking and to
maintain use of the site during summer programming.
A consultant specializing in commercial pool systems was hired to provide plans and specifications for the re-plaster project. A complete set of plans were developed by the consultant encompassing the most current pool codes to comply with the Los Angeles County Health Department requirements.
The scope of work for this construction contract includes repairing the cracks in the pool shell, replacing the broken skimmer housings, installing new lane line anchors, and re-plastering the pool, along with installing updated depth markers and main drain covers. Construction is expected to have a duration of nine weeks and will commence immediately after summer programming concludes.
Supporting the theme of Sustainable Public Infrastructure in Santa Clarita Pathway Forward, the City’s five-year strategic plan, the proposed contract will provide vital repairs for the pool at Valencia Glen Park. This project is necessary to maintain the pool in good serviceable condition.
An invitation to bid was published and circulated on the City’s e-procurement system, BidNet, on February 24, 2026. The City transmitted the solicitation to 2,655 vendors on BidNet, of which 37 vendors downloaded the materials. A total of six bids were submitted and opened on March 31, 2026. Each bid total included a base bid and bid alternate 1. In addition, bid alternate 2 was issued by addendum in the process of solicitation to obtain additional pricing for potential supplemental work. The basis for the award, as specified in the bid documents, was the total of the base bid and bid alternate 1. The results of the bids based on this criteria are shown below:
Company Location Bid Amount
National Pools Inc. Sylmar, CA $251,960
Ultimate Pool Remodeling Inc. Riverside, CA $292,330
California Waters Yorba Linda, CA $319,998
USA Construction LLC Cumming, GA $369,899
Adams Pool Specialties Sacramento, CA $377,814
Ankor Associates Inc. Los Angeles, CA $380,982
Staff recommends awarding the contract to National Pools Inc. (NPI) as the lowest responsive and responsible bidder in the amount of $251,960, consisting of $167,960 for the base bid and $84,000 for bid alternate 1, which formed the basis of the award. While bid alternate 2 was not included in the basis of award, staff recommends its inclusion at a cost of $25,200, as it provides additional improvements within the available project budget, bringing the total contract amount to $277,160. Staff further recommends authorizing a contingency of $27,716, for a total not-to- exceed amount of $304,876, to address unforeseen site conditions, field adjustments, additional work requested by the City or permitting agencies, and necessary field investigations.
The contractor possesses a valid contractor’s license and is in good standing with the Contractor’s State License Board.
