SUMMARY:
A 20-year capital improvement (reserve) study was completed in Fiscal Year 2014/15 by Wannemacher Jenson Architects Inc. (WJA) and Delta Engineering for Spectrum Field (aka Bright House Field).
As a result of the study, CIP budgets for the maintenance and upkeep of Spectrum Field were established. The study indentified the need to replace all of the air-conditioning units beginning with Phase I in Fiscal Year 2016/17 when the cooling tower and main pumps were replaced. On October 5, 2016, the City Council awarded a contract to Kenyon & Partners Inc. (KPI), of Tampa, Florida, to complete Phase I.
The City issued Bid #16-0023-PR-D for Phase II work to all qualified air conditioning contractors. Two bids were received, of which Kenyon & Partners, Inc. was the lowest most responsive bid.
This contract is for Phase II and will include the removal and replacement of the remaining worst units and systems (27) at the ballpark.
This is a 120-day project and will be completed prior to Spring Training 2018.
APPROPRIATION CODE AND AMOUNT:
Funds are available in CIP 315-93205 “Spectrum Field Infrastructure Repairs and Improvements” to fund this contract.
