Re: Structural deficiencies in Stadium Site Parking
Dear Mr. Martinez:
This office as the claims consultant for Timothy Haahs & Associates' ("Haahs")
professional liability insurer, Architects & Engineers Insurance Company ("AEIC"), is hereunder
authorized to issue the following.
It has been brought to our attention that the City of Miami ("City") needs to authorize the
construction contractor to commence construction immediately to remedy the soffit beam torsion
issues with the four parking garages ("Parking Facilities") at the Miami Marlins Ballpark so that
the construction can stay on schedule and the garages can be completed on time.
It is my understanding that the City wishes to release $2,500,000 of contingency funds it
is holding within the construction budget to proceed with the soffit beam modifications, but that
the City requests a letter from Haahs and AEIC stating that Haahs and AEIC will reimburse the
City for the costs of the remediation.
PIease be advised that Haahs and AEIC, to the extent of Insuring Agreement 11. Limit of
Liability contained in the AEIC Policy No. 09-00166-01 issued to Timothy Haahs & Associates,
Inc. for the policy period July ,1, 2009 to July 1, 2012, do agree to reimburse the City for any and
all reasonable and appropriate costs arising out of the soffit beam modifications to the four
Parking Facilities because of the structural deficiencies resulting from design errors or omissions
of Timothy Haahs & Associates, Inc. Such reimbursement will be made in exchange for an
executed release agreement.
I look forward to the successful resolution of this matter.
