City Manager ENCLOSURES:
The adoption of the attached resolution will
authorize the City Manager to advertise for,
receive bids and award a contract(s) for
replacing the roof and renovating the press
box at Miami Baseball Stadium at a combined
cost not to exceed $775,000.
The roof of the Miami Baseball Stadium is in deteriorated
and unsafe condition. The roof has never been repaired and
has long outlived its designed life. The Miami Stadium
press box, which dates back to 1949, has deteriorated from
termite damage to such an extent that the front windows and
frames could fall out into the stadium seating area below.
The electric service is old and has reached an overload
capacity. The flooring is unstable because of termite
damage. Fire exits lead onto a deteriorated and unsafe roof
walkway.
The Administration feels that both the roof replacement and
the press box renovation should be bid at the same time so
that bidders can submit bids on either or both projects, and
the City can select either one overall low bidder or award
split bids whichever is most advantageous to the City. The
cost of the combined project is estimated to be $775,000.
The architectural firm of Glen Allen Buff Associates was
selected to design the press box by Resolution 85-837 of
July 25, 1985. The architect has completed plans and
specifications for renovation of the Miami Baseball Stadium
press box facilities. Plans and specifications for a new
roof have been completed by the Department of Public Works.
The Mayor and City Commission have recognized the value of
having the Baltimore Orioles organization in Miami and have
assured the Club's owner, Mr. Edward Bennett Williams, the
Press Box and Roof repairs needed at Miami Stadium would be
taken care of before their return in the Spring of 1987.
