Here’s What’s Happening Now:

The City Council voted 3-2, directing staff to proceed with contract negotiations with the firm that responded to the city’s RFP to conduct a quality assurance review and analysis of the Tracy Aquatic Center's Conceptual Designs. The contract will be executed following a thorough review of the RFP by city staff. Mayor Arriola, Mayor Pro Tem Abercrombie, and Council Member Nygard voted to move the negotiations forward. The goal is to have the analysis ready for the city council this December or early next year.

It’s essential to note that the consultant will not be making a recommendation for either of the conceptual designs being reviewed. They will instead review and analyze the operation and cost projections provided for both projects at various stages, as requested by the council.

We’ll continue to keep you updated as things progress.

Seasonal Aquatic Park & Year-Round Swim Center

We’ve received a few questions about whether the Tracy Aquatic Center is open year-round. The answer is Yes - the Swim Center, which includes the heated 50-meter Competition Pool and a 25-yard Lap Pool (6 lanes), will be open year-round. Outside of competitions, these pools will be used for exercise swim, swim lessons, water aerobics, water therapy, and safety classes, amongst many other uses.

We'd like to encourage you to watch our video presentation (above) if you were unable to attend the August 19th public meeting. We think that once you see the virtual tour of the Community Design Plans, you’ll be as excited about this project as we are.
