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

Project Name and Number: Baseball Stadium Renovation, FM160429

Project Location: Modesto Maidique Campus, Miami, Florida

Project Description: This Project is to alter and renovate existing ground floor spaces in the FIU Baseball Stadium Building at the Modesto Maidique Campus. The work includes alterations to the existing Home Team Locker Room and adjoining restroom/shower stalls. The Project now plans to include the relocation of the existing Men’s Public Restroom and, as an “Additive Alternate,” renovation of the existing Women’s Public Restroom. The Project includes site improvements at the Dugout Suite.

The work will include expanding the existing Home Team Locker Room to accommodate 40 lockers and a larger restroom with individual showers. The Locker Room improvements will include a lounge, possibly with a study area, a break room and a room to remove and store cleats. Relocation of the Men’s Public Restroom to adjoin the existing Woman’s Public Restroom is critical to gaining space for the aforementioned expansion. The Project may also include Life Safety upgrades and various waterproofing measures throughout the building.

The Baseball Stadium Project plans to renovate the following spaces/square feet:

•Home Team Locker Room, Lounge and Men’s and Woman’s Public Restroom

– 4,200 sf (renovated space)

•Dugout Suite – 660 sf (renovated space)

Based on the scope of work described above, the total construction cost is approximately $1,455,000.00 and the total project cost is $2,000,000.
