Redmond Park and Rec says paint issue fix will delay Rec Center completion, but not add to costs

REDMOND, Ore. (KTVZ) -- The Redmond Area Park and Recreation District and Kirby Nagelhout Construction Company provided an update Tuesday on the ongoing construction for the RAPRD Recreation Center.

Here's what they shared, in full:

During a Quality Control construction inspection, a non-structural issue was identified involving the high-performance paint coating applied to some of the roof components.

After thorough evaluation of potential repair options, all project partners agreed that the most appropriate and effective solution is a full replacement of the affected components to ensure proper coating adherence on all surfaces and long-term durability.

This corrective action will not increase the cost of the project to the taxpayers. However, it will result in a delay to the project timeline. The project team is working on schedule impacts but currently we are estimating a four-month delay. Our commitment to quality and long-term performance remains the top priority.

We are grateful that this issue was identified early and can be addressed during the construction phase, rather than after the facility is in use.

We appreciate the community’s continued patience and support as we work to deliver a first-class aquatics and recreation center. We remain committed to providing a safe, high-quality facility that will serve the region for years to come.
