FERGUSON RECREATIONAL COMPLEX, BY RELYING ON UNIVERSITY OF CENTRAL FLORIDA’S FACT SHEET TURF FIELDS 4-27, FOR THE DESIGN AND INSTALLATION OF INTRAMURAL TURF FIELDS; PROVIDING FOR THE ADOPTION OF REPRESENTATIONS; PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE. Staff Summary: Background: In April 2014, City of Miami Gardens residents approved a $60 million General Obligation bond referendum for park improvements and crime prevention, including purchasing and installing crime prevention equipment, providing facilities for expanding community activities in parks, and renovating, constructing and purchasing parks facilities and land. ITEM K-7: TRACK & FIELD IMPROVEMENTS AT BTF COMPLEX 18605 NW 27th Avenue Miami Gardens, Florida 33056 On May 28, 2014, Council adopted Ordinance No. 2014-09-320, authorizing the borrowing of sixty million dollars ($60,000,000); authorizing the issuance of City of Miami Gardens General Obligation Bonds to pay costs of, remodeling reconstructing, constructing, reconfiguring, retrofitting, furnishing and equipping City parks and parks facilities, purchasing crime prevention equipment for law enforcement assistance via electronic means, providing facilities for expanding community activities in parks, and renovating, constructing and purchasing parks facilities and land for new or expanded parks. The City Council initially approved the Bond Implementation Plan (BIP) at the February 25, 2015 Council meeting. The last amendment to the BIP was approved at the December 9, 2015 Council meeting. The BIP outlines various park and public safety improvement projects. Current Situation: The synthetic turf field, installed in 2010 at the Betty T. Ferguson Complex has been heavily utilized since constructed. In both 2016 and 2017, repairs were made to the field that included replacing various hash marks and other inlays that had been dislodged, repair of numerous sinkholes that formed beneath the turf, aggressive decompaction grooming and cleaning in order to keep the field in satisfactory condition, open to the public and available for the 2017 Youth Football season. The field is also showing evidence of “slip-lock”, which is a breakdown of the turf backing that allows turf fibers to pull from the backing. This field was built with a monofilament fiber turf carpet, which often has a shorter service life than slit film fiber fields that even with the best of care have a useful service life of between eight and nine years. The existing track around the field was also installed in 2010 and is subject to equally heavy utilization. Visual observation of the rubberized surface of the running track shows it has been worn in multiple locations exposing the asphalt surface below as well as aesthetic issues due to uneven wear. Staff investigated different contracting mechanisms to determine a recommended contractual approach to the replacement of both the field and track. More specifically, adding the work to the existing contract by Change Order to the Design-Builder for the on-going Betty T. Ferguson Site Improvement contract or piggy-backing a Continuing Services Contract between Sports Turf One, Inc. and the University of Central Florida were considered. Staff determined that utilizing the piggyback contract was less costly and more responsive to City requirements than a Change Order. University of Central Florida, competitively solicited companies to provide for the design and installation of intramural turf fields. Project Title - Fact Sheet Turf Fields 4-27. The solicitation closed on May 11, 2015. The University of Central Florida subsequently executed a continuing contract with vendor: Sports Turf One, Inc., on August 19, 2015. This project will also require removal and disposal of the existing materials, laser grading the existing base, and new goalposts for the field along with milling and resurfacing the underlying asphalt base for the track to insure grade tolerances are met. 18605 NW 27th Avenue Miami Gardens, Florida 33056 . Proposed Action: It is recommended that the City Council approve the resolution authorizing the City Manager to negotiate contract with Sports Turf One, Inc. for the replacement of the synthetic turf field and reconstruction of the running track at the Betty T. Ferguson Complex. The City of Miami Gardens will piggyback the existing Continuing Services Contract between Sports Turf One, Inc and the University of Central Florida for the work.
