WORK SESSION ITEM
1. Discussion on general contractor contract pricing for the Trophy Club Community
Pool Renovation Project. (Chase Ellis, Director of Parks & Recreation)
Chase Ellis, Director of Parks and Recreation, provided a review of the item. He
explained community engagement included surveys and on -site feedback, with priorities
identified as a body slide, shade structures, lounge areas, public cabanas, and a play
structure for younger children.
The low bid received was approximately $2.76 million, exceeding the remaining
project budget of $2.185 million. Four scaled options were developed by staff-.
• Option 1: Basic improvements with one slide, removal of cabanas/shade
(slightly under budget).
• Option 2: Full site amenities without slides (approx. $282,000 under
budget).
Option 3: Repairs to existing kiddie pool, shade, one slide, and site
improvements (approx. $280,000 under budget).
• Option 4: Comprehensive upgrades with slides, shade, and amenities
(approx. $395,000 over budget).
Town Manager Wright noted that $3M in unallocated 2023 bond funds remain
available for potential use but could also support other projects.
The majority of Parks and Recreation Board members favored Option 4 as most
responsive to community priorities, citing long-term cost savings and the importance of
slides and shade structures.
Some Council Members expressed concern with exceeding the established
budget, favoring Option 2 or 3 as more fiscally responsible while still addressing most
community priorities.
Discussion centered on balancing budget constraints with community
expectations, long-term investment value, and the risks of deferring improvements.
Parks and Recreation Board Chair Kashner moved to recommend Option #4 to the
Town Council. The motion was seconded by Board Member Kizer.
Vote on Motion:
AYES: Kashner, Schrein, Packan, Kizer
NAYES: Eason, Ferguson
VOTE: 4-2
