Increase in Contract for the
Exterior Painting Project for
The Manuel Artime
Community Center
Memorandum
The exterior painting project for the Manuel Artime Community Center was
Informally bid and awarded to C & F Decorating Services for 525,891.00 in
accordance with an Emergency Finding memorandum, copy attached. The work
included the exterior painting of. the Performing Arts Theater, which has a 130•
foot tower. The plans were based on utilizing a bucket truck and scaffolding on
S.W. 9 Avenue and S.W. 1 Street. There are F.P.I. high voltage power lines adjacent
to the tower, which require de -energizing should the bucket truck and scaffolding
be used. Further, deactivating the lines would shut down service to the
Downtown area. The contractor proposed an alternate method of setting up a
high boom crane Inside the property on the west side to reach the high tower for
painting. The extra cost of the crane service is S15,000.00.
This request is for an increase in the contractor's contract of S15,000.00 to cover
the -cost of the crane service. Extra funding is available to cover, the additional
cost- in CIP No. 322060.319301.860. This item will be placed on the next available
Commission agenda for ratification.

Emergency Finding
Orange Bowl Stadium
Upper Trusses Emergency
Repairs
This memorandum requests your authorization to proceed with the emergency repairs of
the trusses that support the upper deck of the stadium as well as the required
engineering services for the design of these repairs.
while performing emergency remedial work on the cross bracing of the trusses that
support the upper deck of the Orange Bowl Stadium, a severe deformation was observed
on the bottom chord of the trusses. These members are made up of two back-to-back
angles, joined together by a steel spacer welded in between the two vertical legs that
make them work as one unit. This spacer had rusted away in several locations, causing
the members to split apart breaking the unity, and also threatening to break apart the
end connections.
This condition represents a serious threat to the welfare and safety of the public
attending stadium events, and needs to be corrected prior to the nett football soccer
game scheduled for January 6, 2001 between Guatemala and Costa Rica.
Time is of the essence to restore the structural integrity of the trusses within the period
of time available prior to the game. Additionally, this required remedial work Is a
complement to the work being done for the cross bracing. Consequently, it is
recommended that Purchase Order No. 219022 to Professional General Contractors be
increased, in the amount of S21,000.00 to cover the estimated construction cost of these
repairs. Funds are available from the orange Bowl Ramp Repair Project, CIP No. 324002.
Additionally, it is also recommended to conduct a thorough investigation of the
structural steel members of the busses supporting the upper deck, including framing,
bracing and supports on an emergency basis. We will obtain a report identifying the
necessary permanent remedial work, working drawings and an estimated construction
cost. Therefore, it is also recommended that Purchase Order No. 905234 to Bliss and
Nyitray. Inc. be increased in the amount of 515,000.00. Funds are available in the Orange
Bowl Repair Maintenance outside, 404000350503.670.

This memorandum serves to request your authorization to proceed with the emergency
repairs to several structural elements in the Orange Bowl Stadrum.
While conducting remedial work to the structural framing in the Stadium's upper deck,
new areas were found showing severe deterioration due to the age of the structure. The
metal deck that conforms the composite system of the West End concourses, the interior
pedestrian ramps, as well as the concrete walkways in several locations around the
Stadium present signs of corrosion. sagging, and cracks at the supports. These
conditions must be repaired. It is most important that the identified areas be corrected
prior to the next football season.
The Department of Public Works will immediately start this remedial work through
multiple contracts, so as to accomplish the most critical repairs fust. The remedial work
will be done so it will not interfere with the already scheduled events at'the Stadium.
The cost of the needed repairs will not exceed $500,000. This funding must be made
available in order to proceed with the work.

REVISION TO EMERGENCY FINDING
Increasing the construction contract
E_ for the Orange Bowl Stadium
Emergency Structural Repairs B6373
This memorandum is to request a revision to an earlier Emergency Finding for repairs to
the Orange Bowl Stadium and to request additional funding for more extensive
inspections and repairs.
On March 5, 2001, the Building Department notified the City's Office of Asset
Management that a "Recertification of Buildings 40 years Old or Older" is required for
the Orange Bowl Stadium, in accordance with Miami -Dade County Ordinance No. 75-34,
amended by Ordinance No. 92-1.
The structural engineers, Bliss & Nyitray, Inc., who are under contract to the City to do
an updated detailed structural assessment of the stadium structure, were authorized to
prepare the structural portion of the 40 -year Recertification report. In June 2001, they
issued their portion of the "40 -Year Structural Recertification Report for the Orange
Bowl Stadium". The report identified ten (10) typical deficiencies in the primary
structural members that needed further inspection, including the removal of the concrete
encasement of some structural members and any subsequent structural repair.
On October 22, 2001, you approved an Emergency Finding allocating additional funds to
the on-going structural repair contract with Professional General Contractors, for the
project "Orange Bowl Stadium Emergency Structural Repairs, 2000-2001 (B-6373)" to
pay for the additional remedial work and repairs necessary to obtain the recertification of
the Stadium.
The field conditions found after the concrete encasement removal during the actual
remedial work revealed that the damage to the main structural members of the stadium
was more severe and widely spread than originally anticipated. If not immediately
repaired these conditions could present a threat to the welfare and safety of the public.
These deficiencies also needed to be repaired to restore the structural integrity of the
stadium, and to meet the requirements for recertification.

There have been intensive inspections and remedial work underway since October 2001
to address the smicttral deficiencies requiring immediate repair to meet the requirements
outlined in the "40 Year Structural Reurtifastion Report" (Report) prepared by our
structural engineering consultattts,; Bliss & NyWay, Inc. (B&N). As a result of these
intensive and systematic inspections, B&N has now defined the specific scope of work,
which must be completed before B&N can recertify the stadium steel structure for
compliance. Also, these struetinal repairs must be completed prior to August 31, 2002.
which is the beginning of the University of Miami football season. .
Approximately 5900,000 has been spent to date on emergency structural repair work--
under
ortunder the three previous Emergency Findings. Basically. the structural engineers have
found that the corrosive damage to the existing structuuai steel is more extensive and
severe than anticipated by earlier inspections. As a result, the cost of n quired repairs has
increased. There is also other work, which n needed to improve the safety of the
stadium. This work must also be done immediately. The estimated additional fupds

This memorandum serves to request your authorization to proceed with the emergency
repair of several cross bracing supports under thebrange Bowl Stadium upper level.
The Orange Bowl staff requested an inspection of the cross bracing that ties the opposite
support of the trusses that support the upper deck of the stadium and provides lateral
stability to the framing of the structure. Juan Ordonez, P.E. Chief Structural Engineer for
the Public Works Department, determined that the structure was unsafe an required
immediate repairs.
The welding of the gussets plate that work as stiffener of the connection, at the intersection
of the cross bracing, had failed. This failure requires remedial work to be done on an
emergency basis before the next scheduled event to be held on October 7. 2000.
The estimated construction work for this project is $15,000. Funds are available from the

by the "X -Games" or by the City departments. At the time of the original "EMERGENCY
FINDING", it was contemplated that all of the repairs and improvements would be done
by a general contractor already under contract with the City. The general contractor did
all of the work except the roof replacement.
When the existing roof membrane and the warehouse roof structure were inspected by
the City's architect and outside roofing consultants, it was found that the existing roof
system was in very poor condition and needed total replacement The existing roof
area is over 50,000 square feet and the roof structure below is of two (2) types of roof
deck, concrete or gypsum. The Florida Building Code has strict requirements for re-
roofing in Miami -Dade County. Afthough the general contractor did a good job of making
repairs and improvements, the roof replacement is totally independent work. It was
decided to receive competitive bids from roofing contractors who are manufacture
qualified and large enough to do a roof replacement of this size and complexity.
The original "EMERGENCY FINDING" specifically listed a new roof membrane system
as part of the scope of work. However, it did not specifically indicate that the City would
obtain competitive bids from roofing contractors and award the roof work to the lowest
responsive and responsible bidder. The City bid out the roofing work and received bids
from four (4) roofing contractors. The low bid was from National Roofing/South Florida,
Inc. Based on the low bid, the City is saving over $12,000 by directly contracting the
roof work. In addition, the City has obtained better prices on a better roof system.
