J. REPLACEMENT OF THE POOL HEATER AT THE SMITH PARK AQUATIC\nFACILITY BY HASA, INCORPORATED, DBA COMMERCIAL AQUATIC\nSERVICES, IN THE AMOUNT OF $34,657.27, INCLUDING A 5%\nCONTINGENCY\nOn January 21, 2026, the pool heater at the Smith Park Aquatic Facility\nunexpectedly failed to an extent that it cannot be repaired to a reliably safe\noperating condition. Due to this, all aquatic programs are currently suspended\nand cannot resume until the heater is replaced. The total cost of the\nreplacement pool heater as proposed by Commercial Aquatic Services is\n$33,006.92, including labor, materials, tax, testing, testing equipment, travel,\ndelivery and standard parts with a 5% contingency to account for any\nunexpected issues that may arise, resulting in a total potential fiscal impact of\n$34,657.27 for Fiscal Year 2025-2026. Funding is available in the Fiscal Year\n2025-2026 Capital Improvement Project budget under the project number 5-\n11-07 and expenditure Account No. 122-850-57-97-806. The funds will be\nrequested at the completion of the project, from Los Angeles County Regional\nParks and Open Space District, through Measure A.\nCalifornia Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Determination: The proposed\nproject is exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality\nAct (CEQA) subject to Section(s) 15301 (Existing Facilities), 15302 (Replacement\nor Reconstruction), 15303 (New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures),\nand 15308 (Actions by Regulatory Agencies for Protection of the Environment).\nThe proposed project is replacing the pool heater at an existing City of San Gabriel\nPark facility. The size of the park would not change as a result of the proposed\nproject. Improvements to be completed as a result of the proposed project involve\nexisting facilities with negligible or no expansion of the use, replacement, or\nreconstruction of the existing structures or facilities where the new structure will\nbe located on the same site as the structure replaced and will have substantially\nthe same purpose/capacity, new construction of small structures, and protection\nof the environment (preservation of publicly-accessible open space/landscapes).\nRecommended Action:\nStaff recommends that the City Council authorize the City Manager to execute\na purchase order with Hasa, Incorporated, doing business as Commercial\nAquatic Services in the amount of $33,006.92, plus a 5% contingency, and\nsubject to any revision by the City Attorney.
