Coquitlam puts out call for Eagle Ridge Pool repair

Coquitlam needs someone to jump in the pool.

Citing various examples of degradation and erosion at Eagle Ridge Pool, Coquitlam is looking for a contractor to overhaul the outdoor pool, according to a recently issued request for proposals.

The work is tentatively set to start on Sept. 8 and to wrap up by May 8, 2026. The completion date is “not flexible,” according to the RFP, which emphasized the importance of having the 25-metre pool ready for the summer of 2026.

The work includes removing the pool coating and repairing all cracks with Belzona 4111 Magma Quartz, a three-part epoxy composite.

The RFP notes several cracks in the pool deck that need to be attended to, as well as a replacement of the anchors and bonding for the pool ladder rails.

A major resurfacing is also required for the pool’s surge tank.

The tank, which handles overflows, is degraded to the point that the top layer of concrete has completely eroded, exposing the subsurface of stones and sand, according to the RFP.

Similarly, erosion in the pool has resulted in corroded rebar being exposed and “significant degradation and cracking” along a construction joint.

“There are a number of concrete blocks used to cover the skimmer gutter that are either cracked and/or damaged,” according to the RFP.

The contractor is required to remove all algae and loose materials and to replace corroded rebar as needed. Some pool joints also need to be replaced.

The submission deadline is April 10.

The eight-lane pool features two diving boards.
