The Brownwood City Council on Monday approved a contract for Rehabilitation and Repair of Wiggins Pool to Commercial Swim Management in the amount of $164,128.43. The first part of the process, however, regards leak detection and if there is a discovery of damages in excess of $15,000 to repair, the contract will be terminated.

A decision had to be made Monday after the matter was brought before the City Council on two other occasions as the 45-day window for the bid expired later this week. The project will take approximately one month to complete.

The City budgeted $150,000 for pool repairs in the Parks budget, along with an additional $20,000 for improvements at Wiggins Park. The $20,000 will now be paired with the $150,000 for the rehabilitation.

The City Council also authorized the City Manager to sign an agreement between the City of Brownwood and the National Association of County and City Health Officials for $10,000 to build the capacity of the local Medical Reserve Corps  beginning upon signing of the agreement through September 29, 2022.
