BACKGROUND:
The existing knock-down textured pool deck surface at the Jervey Gantt Aquatic Center was installed in 2020 and is showing signs of deterioration including minor cracking, peeling, and crumbling in multiple areas. Resurfacing is necessary to maintain safety, functionality, and aesthetics.
This project involves the resurfacing of approximately 17,650 square feet including the pool deck, breezeway, and restroom flooring, with a high-quality, slip-resistant, commercial-grade PVC surfacing material. The pool basin itself is not included in the scope of work.
All work and materials will comply with Florida Department of Health Standards for Swimming Pools and Spas, specifically Florida Administrative Code paragraphs 64E-9.005(2)(a)-(g) and 64E-9.006(2)(a), to ensure full alignment with safety and accessibility regulations.
FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS:
On January 7, 2026, the City of Ocala issued Invitation to Bid (ITB) No.: REC/260033 for the resurfacing project. On February 6, 2026, two lump-sum bids were received from Sundek Commercial Contracting (Sundek Contracting) of Grand Prairie, Texas, and Aquatic Renovation Systems, Inc., d/b/a RenoSys Corp. (RenoSys) of Indianapolis, Indiana.
Procurement staff reviewed both bids for responsiveness and responsibility including the verification of vendor's qualifications, references, experience with similar work, and compliance with all bid rules (such as licensing, bid bonds, insurance, and other requirements). Sundek Contracting’s bid was rejected as non-responsive due to the company’s failure to meet the requisite licensing and bid bond requirements. RenoSys, who met or exceeded all technical, quality, and performance requirements, was thereafter deemed to be the lowest responsive and responsible bidder. The vendor has strong qualifications and a strong track record.
Staff recommends approval.
