We are currently working on Phase I whose scope includes a <br />5,000 seat Grandstand, locker rooms, fi tness assessment rooms, physical therapy and hydrotherapy <br />rooms, the NW Addition to the existing stadium as well as site and utility improvements. The site of <br />the Crandon Park Tennis Center is a former dump site which ceased operations in 1977, pursuant to <br />Florida Statutes and Florida Department of Environmental Protection regulations. As the proposed <br />expansion and new construction work at the existing tennis center will have an impact on existing <br />below-grade conditions associated with the former dump site, BEA has been leading a team of civil <br />and environmental engineers through the process of assessing existing below-grade conditions as <br />well as meetings and negotiations with Florida Dept of Environmental Protection, South Florida Water <br />Management District and Miami-Dade County DERM agencies. Salient among numerous innovative <br />measures taken to design and build new above- and below-ground infrastructure, BEA is implementing <br />design of special foundations to limit excavation of materials; providing passive as well as mechani- <br />cal ventilation to manage methane gas and other below-grade emissions; encapsulating fill material <br />below planned new structures, among others. The scope of work also includes upgrades to existing <br />on-site utilities and storm drainage system, installation of sports lighting at all three new facilities. The <br />Master Plan requires a multi-phased development in close coordination with the Miami Open tennis <br />tournament seasons. <br />54 |
