Palm Bay to Seek Proposals for Aquatic Center's Future, Sets Oct. 7 Presolicitation Meeting
Palm Bay will hold an Oct. 7 presolicitation meeting and issue an RFP Oct. 20 on the Aquatic Center's future; the center closes Nov. 30.
The City of Palm Bay is weighing new options for the future of the Palm Bay Aquatic Center and has launched a webpage to keep residents and potential respondents informed as it prepares to seek outside proposals.
According to the city, it is evaluating sustainable options for the facility's future operation and use, with the goal of maintaining and enhancing aquatic recreation for residents and visitors "while minimizing the financial impact to the City."
As part of that effort, the city will host a public presolicitation meeting at 9 a.m. Wednesday, Oct. 7, at the Aquatic Center, 420 Community College Pkwy. SE. The session is meant to give prospective respondents and other interested parties information about the facility, the city's objectives for the solicitation, available facility and operational details, and the procurement process, along with a chance to ask questions before the formal solicitation is issued.
