C. BACKGROUND
The City of Newnan seeks qualified and experienced contractors to undertake the Resurfacing of the
Lynch Park Pool, located at 23 Richard Allen Dr, Newnan, Georgia. The pool has been a thread in the
fabric of Newnan for decades but did receive a much-needed remodel in 2009.
The revitalization included a new pool house with showers, a small splashpad area for toddlers, a slide, as
well as a raindrop feature. A tiled zero-entry feature was added, providing a gradual, slip-resistant entry that
allows swimmers of all ages to enter the pool safely and comfortably.
The pool’s water area is approximately 4,200 square feet, with a capacity of about 78,800 gallons. The
rate of turnover is 438 GPM every 3 hours. Please pay close attention to the Scope regarding the tile at
the zero-entry and water level. All tiles for the race lanes are to be re-used.
D. SCOPE OF SERVICES
This Project involves the resurfacing of the existing pool to enhance its aesthetics, functionality, and
safety. It is anticipated that the Agreement between the City of Newnan, GA and the selected contractor
will contain the following scope of work.

required to resurface the existing City swimming pool located at 23 Richard Allen Dr in Newnan,
Georgia and return the pool to full operational condition.
All work shall be performed in accordance with this Invitation to Bid, City standard specifications,
applicable codes and regulations, and recognized industry standards for public swimming pool
construction and renovation.

If needed, contractor should remove and replace approximately 10 linear feet of pool tile grout using
manufacturer-approved materials and methods, finished to match adjacent grout color and profile.
Plaster Removal
The Contractor shall:
Plaster removal: undercut the existing substrate a minimum of 2 inches away from tile, fittings,
discharge, and main drains lines 3/8 inch deep into the existing substrate.
Sound out and remove all hollow and delaminated plaster.
If there are any hollow spots and saw cut an area 3 inches outside the perimeter of the hollow spot
and remove the loose material inside the cut area.
Fill the hollow area up bringing the area level with existing surface.
Before applying the bond coat, sandblast, acid etch or water blast with a turbo nozzle or sand
injection attachment at 3500 psi minimum.
Remove any delaminated plaster, not to exceed 10% (approximately 420 sq ft) of the total pool
surface
Before Applying Diamond Brite Bond Kote (Manufacturer Requirements)
Inspect all pool surfaces and remove all loose, hollow-sounding, delaminated, or otherwise
unsound plaster prior to application.

etch, or pressure wash if necessary (3,500 psi minimum).
Thoroughly wash with high-pressure “jet” hose and drain until no standing water remains.
Ensure substrate is profiled (rough and porous) to accept Bond-Kote and can absorb water before
application.
Maintain ambient temperatures between manufacturer limits (generally ~50°F to 100°F) and do
not apply in rain or high humidity.
Protect the pool from moisture/contaminants prior to application to maintain bond integrity
(Bond-Kote must be applied to properly prepared surface).
