STATEMENT OF THE MATTER
We are in the final stages of design on the,pool project. It is anticipated that the plans
and specifications will be finished in time to allow us to commence construction in Septem-
ber, 1979.
In the course of design, the project received a Value Engineering (V.E.) review by an out-
side team of design and construction experts. One of the suggestions made by the V.E. team
was to slightly modify the pool shape. By widening the pool in the middle so that its
minimum width would be 25 yards, we could, for a modest additional cost, significantly im- prove the operational flexibility. of the pool.

to speed with the new design staff. We eventually received and reviewed
Kammeyer, Lynch & Partner's responses to the V.E. review and many of the
V.E. suggestions were incorporated into Kammeyer, Lynch & Partner's design.
This was done with the knowledge and consent of the archi-

Among the changes suggested by the V.E. team was a modification of
the pool shape from a "U" shape to an "L" shape. Mkking the body of the
pool 50 meters by 25 yards with a leg in the shallow end being a toddler
area and handicapped access would give us much more versatility in pool use.
This change, which results in modest savings in the structural and electri-
cal areas, has tremendous impact in the mechanical area and an associated
increase in cost. The larger volume of water in the modified pool would
necessitate redesigning the pumping and filtering system. The net added
cost for the change is estimated by the architect to be $11,300 (see At-
tachment rrAf7).

after including the technical changes suggested by the V.E. team, the archi-
tect feels that the project costs are essentially the same and, in fact,
may increase 5% by the time construction starts (September, 1979).
This estimate did not include the

To summarize, if we change the pool shape, omit the solar heating sys-
tem and allow for 5% escalation, the bid price we can expect is $1,454,394.
If we delete the "cost control items," the price would reduce to $1,235,727.

Now the bad news. Budgeted funds and continuing appropriations for
the project total $1,280,053. In September, 1978, the City Council author-
ized an increase in architect's fees from $67,300 (fees and reimbursables)
to $95,400. At that time, the pool was estimated at $1,274,529. The "pre-
liminary design" estimate should be compared to the current "completed de-
sign" estimate of $1,454,394.
estimated construction cost, total project costs are $1,549,794. If we
delete the "cost control items," the total reduces to $1,331,127. This
could be further reduced by not approving the shape change resulting in
a further deduct of $11,865 ($11,300 + 5% escalation) for a new total of
$1,319,262. Staff will work with the architect to insure the plans and specifications are prepared with as many deletable items as possible

funds, I recommend we proceed with the project and request Council's con-

1. authorize changing pool from "U" to "L" shape.
2. delete solar heating system, but instruct architect to
provide for its future addition.
3. delete all "cost control items."

SUBJECT : Swimming Pool Shape Change
Carlsbad's Community Swimming Pool was envisioned by the pool
committee as a 50 meter by 25 yard "Z" shaped pool and through
design criteria it became a "U" shape 50 meter pool with the two
ends 25 yards wide and the center portion only 60 feet wide.
It was during the Value Engineering review of the pool design
that the suggestion was made to eliminate the center of the "U"
and in effect, widen the pool to 25 yards for the entire 50 meter
length. The Value Engineering team recommended Ira modified !L' shape
to gain more pool area for the same price and provide more 25 yard .
lanes for swimming. 'I
.
' With the present design, the number of activities which can be
conducted simultaneously are limited. For e'xample, the 25 yard deep
end of the "U" is the location in which these activities will all be
conducted: water polo, "short course" 25 yard swim meets and/or work-
outs, "lap swimming", springboard diving, SCUBA instruction. While
lap swimming and scuba instruction can take place in the 60 feet
distances, the other events must have the 75 feet length to properly
train or for meets to be conducted. By limiting the 25 yard deep water
to one use at a time, it would be possible to stagger the use over
the 7 day a week, 14 hours per days of operation, but there are times
when it will be necessary to conduct more than one Frogram at a time.

competitions are the same season.
If the entire 50 meter length were 25 yards wide, the following
combinations of programs could be conducted simultaneously: water
polo game and girl's swim team meet or workout; springboard diving
practice and boy's swim team meet; scuba instruction and lap swimming, etc.
Staff recommends the pool shape be changed to 25 yards wide by
50 meters long with the wide steps at the shallow end, as the add-on
to the rectangular pool, making it "L" shape as shown below
