Replacement of the current pool at the Bartow Civic Center. This proposed concept aims to remove the existing pool and replace it with the Aquatic Center Design. This design does not include concessions. The existing locker rooms/restrooms would be utilized. Admission fees would be required.

The design would include:

• Six 25-yard exercise lanes
• Zero-depth pool entry
• Children’s pool with play structure
• “Splash Pad” interactive water feature
• Shaded event pavilion
• Pump & filter equipment

With this concept, there would be no Outdoor Rental Venue or Recreation Lawn constructed. (See "Additional Amenities" tab for more information on the Recreation Lawn concept.)

Feasibility Study

The City contracted with Straughn Trout Architects to conduct a feasibility study - including parking - for Oaks Building (Option 1) site. While the Oaks Building concept differs from the Civic Center option in that it includes a cafe and covered gathering space, the main pool and other accessory aquatics features will be identical at both location options. The firm submitted the following conceptual renderings of the pool space.

Parking

Parking will need to be evaluated to ensure that adequate spaces will be available during times that the Civic Center is being used for rentals and/or events.

Estimated costs:

• Construction – $3.93 million
• Personnel - $406,835
• Operational - $61,000
• Maintenance and Repair - $25,000
• Total Operating Expenses - $492,835*

* Does not include potential revenue
