Renovations and site improvements have been needed at the Countryside Sports Complex for many years. Council established a CIP project in Fiscal Year 2016/17 for $800,000 to address at least one of the issues which was to construct a replacement restroom, concession, and storage building. Since additional funding was needed to accomplish the renovation, the City applied for and was awarded a TDC grant for $1.9 million, as well as obtaining donations from City Co-Sponsor Sports Groups including the Countryside Cougars, Clearwater Soccer, Clearwater Lacrosse, as well as the City of Safety Harbor commitment of $350,000, and Florida Recreation Development Assistance Program (FRDAP) Grant of $100,000.
On August 16, 2017, the City Council awarded a contract to Wannemacher Jenson Architects, Inc. (WJA) in the amount of $152,000 for architectural and engineering services for the design of a new building to house restrooms, concession, a press box, storage, meeting rooms, and lockers at the Countryside Sports Complex.
This Contract consists of construction of underground utilities, parking, retaining walls, and site grading.
Construction of the Building will be completed once site work is completed by others.
The Sports Complex will be operational during the entire construction period.
This is a 180-day contract and will be completed prior to May 2019.
