Tom Bills, Cobb PARKS Construction Manager
770-528-8818 I worked with Bob McCallister for several years during his time at Cobb County P.A.R.K.S. Together, and under his guidance, we were able to make many substantial and meaningful capital improvements to each of Cobb’s Aquatics facilities. Following his retirement, we did not hesitate to hire his new firm for consulting services in the planning and construction of the new and very successful splash pad feature in Kennesaw’s Swift-Cantrell Park. Bob is one of the best in the region. |
City of Lake Worth, FL
50 Meter Outdoor Pool Renovation 2/2017 |
Surveyed and provided a comprehensive report for the City's 45 year old 50 Meter Pool. Report included several different options for renovations with budgets at varied levels of costs. The final recommendation to the City was to not to renovate due to the high costs, but to build a new family Water Park that would be more of a benefit to the community and be a self-supporting facility. (The City is currently studying their options as they have closed the 50 Meter facility down due to safety concerns.)
