The City of Hialeah is seeking to upgrade the wave generation system at McDonald Water Park to ensure continued safe, efficient, and reliable operation ahead of the upcoming season. The project includes demolition of outdated components and installation of a new Wavetek system, manufactured and commissioned by Aquatic Development Group, Inc. This upgrade features a modern control panel with VFD motor starting and PLC controls, stainless steel VaraWave valves, solenoids, clamps, oilers, and a spare parts kit, along with technician support for start-up and training. This investment is vital to maintain the integrity and performance of the wave pool, which is a key attraction within the facility.

The City of Hialeah requires the services of an experienced vendor to provide proprietary wave system upgrade services/goods supporting the Aquatics department/operation of the McDonald Water Park. The current Wavetek wave generation system was originally installed in 2001 and has not been upgraded since. The aging system now presents performance limitations and operational risks due to obsolete parts and unsupported components, making this sole source upgrade necessary for safety, functionality, and public satisfaction.
