Pool tender document design for Developers & Builders

Pool tender document design for construction of pools, spas and water features, is significantly more competitive when tender documents address all of the following issues, prior to calling tenders:
  • Filtration – Disinfection – Heating – Cleaning – Lighting
  • Automation – Remote controls
  • Plant room space and layout
  • Gov. Regs – Aust. Standards – Risk Management

Australian Developers & Builders who have utilized ASPC’s pool tender document design in their projects, are increasingly finding that this pool tender document design process, has significantly better all round results than a design & construct contract.

specialists for the filtration, disinfection, cleaning, lighting, heating and internal ledges and finishes design, as opposed to design and construct contractors. Engaging an independent and experienced consultant to prepare tender documents, is essential if all structural methods and other water space issues are to be addressed prior to construction.

COMMUNITY  POOLS

Swimming Pool/Spa “design and construct” method is no longer acceptable for commercial pools (see about community pools), unless the Pool Water Treatment Plant is capable of producing water quality suitable for Public pools in compliance with Australian State Dept. of Health guidelines, for all projected bather loads.

The category of community pools in commercial and multi-residential complexes is now clearly identified as PUBLIC swimming pools by all State Department of Health Guidelines.  When Project Developers and Home builders include water spaces in commercial/community projects, they are now required to ensure that the Pool Water Treatment plant can perform to the new State Department of Health guidelines for Public pools.  All obligation holders have a “duty of care” to ensure the aquatic spaces are compliant with the Guidelines for the “specific type of use”.  (see also swimming pool risk management)

Aadvance Swimming Pool Consultants extensive experience in previously having designed and built over 15,000 residential, resort, community and commercial concrete pools/spas, and designing the pool water treatment plants and hydraulics for same, has revealed that the quality of pool and spa water in the majority of existing community swimming pools and spas in commercial and residential complexes, does not conform to new Department of Health Guidelines for PUBLIC pools in all States of Australia.  This produces an unacceptable public health risk, and subsequent legal liability to all obligation holders. Aadvance Swimming Pool Consultants has developed an innovative design and tendering process specifically for Developers/Builders in Community (now classified as Public) aquatic spaces.  While being compliant with all new Dept. of Health Guidelines and Australian Standards, this specific tendering process results in a higher quality product at lower than normal construction costs and, more often than not, covers ASPC’s design and tender costs.
