Buffalo Road Aquatic Center Stair Tower Repainting and Tread Replacement

The City of Raleigh is seeking bids for the Buffalo Road Aquatic Center Stair Tower Repainting and Tread Replacement project. The project involves surface preparation and rust removal, repainting of the stair tower, removal and replacement of stair treads, and other ancillary work at the existing water slide. The contractor will be responsible for mobilization, providing equipment such as access lifts, and ensuring that all work is completed within the 14-day contract time. The City will close the aquatic center to the public during the contract period, and the contractor will have daily access to the facility from 8:00 am to 7:30 pm. Some key considerations for bidders include: • The need to protect the pool deck and flooring with plywood covering if lifts are used • The potential for concurrent HVAC work that may affect paint drying time • The requirement to submit product information for paint materials prior to painting • The need to replace all 37 existing stair treads with non-slip surfaces • The importance of maintaining as-built drawings and providing operation and maintenance data The project requires a licensed contractor with experience in similar work, and the City reserves the right to reject any or all bids.
