Recreational (Aquatics) Services and Operations at Harvey West Pool

The City of Santa Cruz (“City”) invites qualified individuals or organizations to submit a proposal to enter into an agreement to operate, provide recreational services, and manage the Harvey West Pool located on the campus of Harvey West Park at 275 Harvey West Blvd in Santa Cruz. The submissions should reflect the operator's ability to: (1) establish consistent financial stability and sustainability for aquatics programs and pool operations, while minimizing the level of financial support required by the City; and to (2) provide affordable swim lessons that are accessible to a wide swath of the community regardless of age or ability-to-pay; and to (3) ensure affordable access and use of the pool for recreational swimming by parks and recreation department programs, associated partner organizations, and community groups; and to (4) provide some (minor) maintenance of pool facilities, including the pool house, storage rooms, lockers, and pool equipment spaces; maintain current certifications in proper pool maintenance, operations, and lifesaving procedures.
