FROM: Gil D. Spence, Leisure Services Manager
SUBJECT: Five Flags Bleacher Replacement Project
INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this memorandum is to request that the City Council initiate the bidding
process for the Five Flags Bleacher Replacement Project.
DISCUSSION
This project provides for replacement of all the wood bleachers in the Five Flags Center
with bleachers with padded seats and backs. Having padded seats and backs will
make bleacher seat tickets an easier sell because they will be much more comfortable.
The schedule for the project is as follows:
City Council initiate bidding process
Notice to bidders
Receipt of bids
Notice of public hearing
Public hearing/award contract

The FY 2005 and FY 2006 C.I.P. budget contains $2,205,000 to renovate the Five
Flags Center. Bleacher replacement is a part of that total budget. The engineer
estimates the cost of the bleacher replacement to be $516,628. We are bidding the
bleachers separate to save money, and to allow us to deal directly with the seating
company.
