As of the 2020/2021 seasons, the plan is to complete marcite replacement in the fall of 2022. Work is planned to commence as quickly as possible following the pool closure to members (perhaps the Tuesday after Labor Day). The pool will need to be chemical treated and heated for 30 days following job completion to allow the marcite to fully and properly cure. | As of the 2020/2021 seasons, the plan is to complete marcite replacement in the fall of 2022.

Preliminary quotes for the job were obtained in late season 2020 for budgetary purposes. Due to the potentially sensitive nature of the pricing, the details are not included here. B&G has full records on file. Pricing was adjusted/estimated as best as possible to include expected increases for 2022. | |||
=== Requirements === | |||
Contractors quoting marcite replacement should include: | |||
* A marcite only and/or marcite plus quartz finish (improved durability over marcite only) | * A marcite only and/or marcite plus quartz finish (preferred for improved durability over marcite only). A pebble finish is not currently being considered. | ||
** Finish to 3/8" to 1/2" thickness (some variation due to imperfect gunite finish expected). | ** Finish to 3/8" to 1/2" thickness (some variation due to imperfect gunite finish expected). | ||
* Chip and/or waster blast strip preparation. The former is more common. Some companies will do a full strip (down to gunite), while others recommend stripping at least two layers (the more the better, in general). | * Chip and/or waster blast strip preparation.

* A warranty period of at least one year. Two years appears to be standard for a marcite plus quartz finish. | * A warranty period of at least one year. Two years appears to be standard for a marcite plus quartz finish. | ||

Ideally, the contractor should NOT utilize a sub-contractor. This will add cost. The job is estimated to take 2-3 weeks to complete in total. | Ideally, the contractor should NOT utilize a sub-contractor. This will add cost. The job is estimated to take 2-3 weeks to complete in total. | ||
