;wo Resolutions regarding
University of Miami's
Desire to Advance Funds
for Photo Deck at Orange
Bowl
July 25, 1985 Agenda
Draft Resolutions
The Office of Stadiums recommends the
adoption of the attached resolutions
to allow the University of Miami to
enter into an agreement for the
construction of the new roof top
photo deck at the Orange Bowl stadium
at a cost not to exceed $70,000.
Said cost shall be reimbursed to the
University as a deduction from the
admissions tax due the City as a
result of the University's 1985
football season.
The new roof top photo deck is the most urgent project needed to
benefit the University of Miami's 1985 football season in the
Orange Bowl Stadium.
The University's first game at the Orange Bowl in 1985 is
September 7th against the University of Florida where it is
anticipated 70,000 fans will attend.
Since the Mayor and City Commission will not meet during the
month of August, the most expeditious way that this project could
be completed and meet the September 7, 1985 deadline would be to
permit the University of Miami, the Department of Public Works
and the Office of Stadiums to approve final plans and
specifications of the new Roof Top Photo Deck and allow the
University to enter into a contract to build and pay for the
construction of said Photo Deck with the understanding that the
University would be reimbursed for said cost from admissions tax
due the City as a result of the University's 1985 football season
and that said cost will not exceed $70,000 as per the attached
draft resolution.
For the reasons stated above it is necessary to waive the
competitive bidding procedures pursuant to City of Miami Code
Section 18-52.6.
