The Florida International University Board of Trustees announces that construction management services will be required for the project identified below:

Project Name and Number: Multi-Purpose Practice Fields, BT-916

Project Location: Modesto Maidique Campus, Miami, Florida

Project Description:

This project is the development of two new athletic practice and recreational play fields at the Modesto Maidique Campus. One of the fields is to have artificial/synthetic turf surfacing and the other a natural grass surface. Both fields and surrounding sideline areas are to have an extensive subsurface drainage system. The project will include a small restroom and storage building, fencing and gates, elevated camera platforms for video recording practice sessions and may also include realignment of roadways and major utilities. The project may also include landscaping, sidewalks and plazas. The project may include replacement and relocation of surface parking including lighting and drainage that may be displaced by the fields.

The Multi-Purpose Practice Fields Project plans to construct the following spaces/square feet:

•Intramural/Practice Field with Artificial Turf and Scoreboards 370 feet by 170 feet.

•Practice/Intramural Field with Natural Grass Turf and Elevated Camera Platforms 370 feet by 210 feet.

•Restroom and Storage Building – 2424 GSF

•Landscape work and site lighting

Additional site features may also include the following:

•Surface parking lots in multiple locations with a combined total parking capacity of up to 400 spaces.

•Realignment of roadways, walkways and plazas, including signage and lighting.

•Relocation of underground utilities including electric, water, sewer and communications including above ground appurtenances.

The design work for this project includes planning site improvements including landscaping and a parking area. Based on the scope of work described above, the total construction cost is approximately $6,951,881 and the total project cost is $8,900,000. The University is committed to producing buildings that comply with sustainable energy conservation strategies and standards (minimum LEED Silver Certification).

This project will include consideration of lower cost alternative sites such as at or adjacent to the FIU MMC Soccer Stadium, Tamiami Park, etc.

The project scope may be increased by the University, in its sole discretion, to include additional spaces/square feet should a funding source for such scope increases be identified prior to project completion. The total construction cost and the total project cost may increase, at the University’s sole discretion.

Applicants are hereby notified that that in the event the University is unable to secure full funding necessary for either the initial project components or added components, the University intends to proceed only with design and construction of fully funded project components and phase(s), if any.
