The existing facility is extremely popular, so it is crucial that these works are completed ahead of the May opening. ### Site Description The paddling pool was originally installed by Sunsafe in 2001 and has been resurfaced twice since in 2007 and 2014. The pool is located on the southern end of St. Johns Recreation Ground. Access is through a gate on the northern boundary leading directly from a tarmac car park. There is no formal road to the site, but the field can be safely traversed during late spring/ summer providing it has not been too wet. The existing pool wetpour surfacing is approximately 300m2 in total, including the areas below the water level, the area above water level and the area directly outside the main pool that edges the perimeter drains. ### Tender brief Provide options and prices to resurface the paddling pool wetpour surfacing.
