AN ORDINANCE FOR A CONTRACT WITH MIDWEST POOL MANAGEMENT LTD. FOR AQUATIC FACILITY MANAGEMENT SERVICES
City Manager Gipson reported the Parks and Recreation Department issued a Request for Proposals for Aquatic Facility Management Services for Shaw Park Aquatic Center and the Center of Clayton on June 18, 2024. The current contract with Midwest Pool Management (MPM) runs through September 30, 2024, and, while we have been happy with their services, it has been three years since these services were publicly bid.
Three proposals were received in response to the RFP. One was from the current service provider, Midwest Pool Management (MPM), and two others were from companies located in Georgia and Florida (USA Management and The Sports Facilities Companies). Upon extensive review of the proposals, staff is recommending that the City enter into a three-year contract with MPM as the most responsive bidder. Toni Siering, Director of Parks and Recreation addressed the Board to answer questions. Alderman McAndrew introduced Bill No. 7037, approving a contract with Midwest Pool Management LTD for Aquatic Facility Management Services to be read for the first time by title only. Alderman Buse seconded.

AN ORDINANCE AMENDING SECTION 215.765 TO MODIFY THE ALLOWABLE HOURS OF USAGE FOR MOTOR-DRIVEN OUTDOOR MAINTENANCE EQUIPMENT
