PROJECT NO.1
ORANGE BOWL STADIUM — STRUCTURAL REMEDIATION
TYPE OF TEAM DESIRED:
The design team should be headed by a structural engineering firm with structural steel
stadium experience. The design team should have experience with the inspection,
remediation and the prevention of corrosion of steel structures in a subtropical coastal
environment. The structural design team should also have experience in joining an
architectural team with mechanical and electrical engineers in providing renovations,
alterations and related improvements for upgrading an existing stadium.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
The City of Miami Orange Bowl stadium (1501 NW 3rd Street) is an older structural steel
framed stadium subject to the corrosive effects of salt from wind and rain. It needs
constant inspection and remedial repairs in order to maintain its structural integrity. In
recent years the City has been spending approximately $1.5 to $2.0 million annually in
structural and related repairs to the stadium and to make improvements. In the
Homeland Defense Neighborhood Bonds approved by the voters, the City has budgeted
$16.0 million for Orange Bowl Stadium Improvements.
The work to be performed under a contract with the City for structural remediation
includes annual structural inspection of the stadium, a report of stadium condition,
program for repairs and remedial work, construction documents (drawing & specifications)
and field supervision of the contractors work.
Currently underway is a feasibility study for proposed Stadium improvements to be
funded by above reference Bond funds. This work will require a complete
architecture/engineering design team. The structural engineering firm may be part of this
team.
The work to be performed, under a separate contract with the City for future Stadium
renovations and Improvements, will be to provide conceptual designs, prepare
construction documents for bidding and award, to provide construction estimates, to
assist with bidding of the project, and to inspect and administer the construction contract,
working closely with the CIP staff.
