Document Management
Jeff Bishop and Jill Fitzgibbon advised the trust that a meeting was held just prior to this meeting in which a
system was created to make sure all documents flow through the City clerk’s office either physically
regarding executable documents or electronically via Dropbox technology.
Phase I Update
Steve Casteel and Mark Moudy reported the top soil removal and fly ash importation and compaction have
been completed and the field will be leveled soon. In the next 30 days storm sewer pipe will be installed.
Phase II Update
A. Suite modifications to allow for fully enclosed suites and a separated corridor
B. Adding a third level to the press box to allow for:
1. Home coaches’ box
2. Addition of filming booth at 50 yard line
C. Concessions operation ‐ under a common contract for both NEO and Miami (storage, stocking,
equipment, etc.)
D. Reducing the toilet count to accommodate seating on the west side only (final approval comes
from AHJ)
E. Phase II schedule
James Howard with AIP gave an update on Phase II. He reviewed basic drawings with the trust regarding the
concession stand and the two different users of the stand (NEO A&M and Miami Public Schools). He reviewed
suggestions for services be contracted to one food service provider to benefit both users due to a shortage of
storage space. Those entities recommended using fountain drinks as it would take less space. Anderson
agreed the concession management contract would be between a food service provider and the authority.
Howard discussed the press box and suites. During the design charette on Monday the possibility of adding a
third level for the home team coaches and placing the visiting coaches on the intermediate level was
discussed. Another item discussed was to place the cameras at the 50 yard line on the added third level. This
has not been fully developed and costs associated with these changes will need to be developed. He also
advised the there was an expressed desire in the Monday charette to change the currently semi‐private
suites into enclosed private suites. He also noted this would add to the cost of the project. The design team
asked for direction from the authority on the Phase II project, noting that bid packets are currently schedule
to open mid‐July. Phil Thomas and Howard stressed that a redesign would affect the timeframe of the project
by an additional two weeks. As it stands today, it is already two weeks behind the original schedule. The
authority directed design team to bring back the redesigns and budget estimates of the press box, coaches’
box, and suites back to the authority for consideration. The authority agreed because ball could still be
played on time it is better to take the time to build it correctly although some of the facilities may not be
ready for the 2014 season.
Regarding the site visits, Howard reported Owasso has a butt‐jointed system, which felt flimsy, bouncy, was
louder, and prone to leaking underneath, which is not desirable. The second site was an interlocking system
which was quieter, had low bounce and few leaks below. The third site, Broken Arrow, was a welded system
that was very sturdy, the least amount of leaking below, and had a solid feel. This system was installed in
2000 and still in solid condition. He recommended keeping the base bid as the welded systems and making
an alternate to be bid for the interlocking system. Although it is not anticipated the two will not be far apart
in cost, it will be beneficial to see if one is more beneficial to the budget. In addition, Howard advised he
would go with the vinyl coated chain link fencing on the perimeter of the facility.
Howard advised he would bring the seating matter on the west side to a future meeting.
No action taken.
Other New Business, if Any, Which Has Arisen Since the Posting of the Agenda and Could Not Have Been
Anticipated Prior to the Time of Posting (25 O.S. § 311(9))
No new business.
Future Project Planning
Jeff Bishop advised the trust that the Miami Special Utility Authority retained its Standard and Poor A rating
on existing revenue bonds and an A‐ on the Bond Anticipation Note because it is subordinate to the existing
bonds. Notes should be issued next week and cash flow the first week of June.
Thomas reported the invoice process will go as follows: 1) all project related vendor invoices and Crossland’s
pay applications will be submitted by Crossland and addressed to the Miami Special Utility Authority (MSUA)
to avoid paying taxes. The first payment will be requested the end of May; 2) the MSUA will cut the check to
Crossland and/or the vendor(s) and send all vendor checks to Crossland for distribution; and 3) AIP will
invoice the MSUA directly and payment by MSUA will be sent directly to AIP. He advised that all documents
and invoices will be processed through the city clerk’s office. No action taken.
