The Invitation to Bid for the New Aquatics Center went out on January 20. We held a Pre-Bid Conference with the architect on-site Thursday, February 9 for prospective contractors. This was an opportunity for interested parties to meet with the architect on the building site and discuss the details of the project. The meeting was informative and very well attended, with more than 20 contractors and subcontractors present. Since that meeting, there has been additional interest in the project. We have had several contractors request that we give them a little more time to prepare their bids. They reported needing additional time to hear back from subcontractors and the availability of certain materials. Therefore, the Bid Opening has been rescheduled to Thursday, March 2 at 2:00 pm in the NCRD Gallery.
