082423 - Architectural & Design Services for Eagle Pool Replacement Project

During its 20 years of operation, the original Eagle Pool faced several challenges, the most recent being unusual water leakage which led to its closing in 2022. The Owner engaged WJE to investigate the pool and subsoils. WJE’s report can be found here: https://mountainrec.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/Mountain-Recreation-Phase-2-Report_Final.pdf

The main priority of this project is quality and longevity of the facility, especially with respect to subsurface mitigation, within the $13M budget. Energy efficiency and sustainability measures are attractive to the Owner provided that they either reduce cost or remain within the budget.
The Town and Mountain Rec have decided to move forward with the pool option to replace the pool in the existing location.

In addition to the pool replacement, it is assumed that full mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems for the pool will need to be replaced. An addition to the existing pool/ice facility are also included in the current project scope for additional restroom and changing areas.

Input from the community will be welcomed throughout the process and the selected design team will be expected to facilitate a Design Advisory Group (DAG) and community update process. The DAG process and community input process will run through Design Development.
