Orange Memorial Park Aquatic Center

Description

Located in San Mateo County, The City of South San Francisco proudly remains The Industrial City, a reflection of its steel mill and ship building past, redefined to reflect the innovative, entrepreneurial, and industrious spirit which has made South San Francisco the Biotech Capital of the World, with 217 active biotech companies and growing. The City of South San Francisco is proud of its diversity with over 80% of households identifying as households of color and over 60% of households speaking a language other than English at home. South San Francisco enjoys a high quality of life with an extensive public parks system, active library and learning programming and a dynamic, engaged community making South San Francisco a great place to live, learn, work and play.The existing Orange Pool is located within Orange Memorial Park and is the only public swimming pool in the community. It is used by residents, non-residents, students, children, and adults for a variety of aquatic classes, events and recreational swimming activities.After nearly a half-century of year-round use, Orange Pool has exceeded its anticipated service life and is long overdue for significant renovation or replacement. Despite the deteriorated condition of the municipal indoor swim facility, high attendance at Orange Pool persists. The facility is frequently at full capacity – a situation that is likely to intensify as the City’s and adjoining communities’ populations increase in the coming decades. The current confluence of population growth and Orange Pool’s aging condition presents the City of South San Francisco with an opportunity to conceive of a new facility that is tailored to the specific needs of its various community and aquatic user groups.The purpose of this solicitation for planning and design services is to develop design alternatives, specific cost estimates, construction documentation and construction observation for development of a new Aquatic Cente
