MEMORANDUM
Mayor Mullet
Tukwila City Council
FROM: Bruce Fletcher, Director of Parks Recreation
DATE: December 30, 2003
SUBJECT: Emergency Boiler Purchase
When we accepted the swimming pool from King County, we knew that many
maintenance items would need to be upgraded or replaced. The City obtained Kevin
Johnston and Associates for a complete pool inspection and assessment review. The
report indicated that the boiler system had many repairs in the past ten years, which
included corrosive tubes that required replacement. The report also indicated that a new
boiler system would better serve the pool's heating needs with increased heating
efficiency.
On December 17 our Pool Operator, Robert Eaton inspected the boiler and found
leaking water coming from more failing tubes. Technicians from Boilermasters and Cole
Industrial inspected the problem and both reported probable boiler failure within days to
one month's time.
Given the history and current state of our boiler, it is the recommendation of the Parks
and Recreation Department to purchase and install a new boiler at the Tukwila Pool. The
City had negotiated capital dollars from King County for such future projects that are in
our current CIP budget.
Because time is an issue, it is the request of the Parks and Recreation Department to do
an emergency purchase once we have received a minimum of three bids from boiler
manufacturers. Once a low bid is acceptable, the ordering and installation process will
take approximately four to six weeks.
It is the recommendation of the Parks and Recreation Department to authorize the Mayor
to execute a purchase order to purchase and install a new boiler for the City of Tukwila
Pool for a price not to exceed $60,000.
