ISSUE: GAYLORD FAMILY-OKLAHOMA MEMORIAL STADIUM IMPROVEMENTS – NC ACTION PROPOSED: President Gallogly recommends the Board of Regents: I. Approve the Gaylord Family-Oklahoma Memorial Stadium – Bowl Improvement Project; II. Approve a total project budget of $14,900,000; and III. Authorize University Administration to contract and make payments not to exceed the cumulative amount of $12,500,000 for construction. BACKGROUND AND/OR RATIONALE: At the June 2014 meeting, the Board of Regents approved the inclusion of the Gaylord Family-Oklahoma Memorial Master Plan updates developed to date in the Campus Master Plan of Capital Improvements Projects. The initial phases of the Master Plan have been successfully completed: the South End Zone Improvements and the North Scoreboard Replacement/Improvements. The next phase of development of the Gaylord Family Oklahoma Memorial Stadium Master Plan is to implement improvements and repairs within the lower seating bowl. The proposed project includes additional ADA seating and ADA amenity areas in the North End Zone, additional ADA seating on the West side of the stadium, aisle improvements such as the installation of handrails and intermediate over-pour steps, Wi-Fi infrastructure, the re-cladding of bench seating that was not addressed during the South End Zone project, and other major maintenance repairs such as traffic coating and expansion joints within the stadium seating bowl. The estimated cost for this phase of the project is approximately $14,900,000, with total expenditures for construction not to exceed $12,500,000. Funding for this project has been identified and is available from Athletics Department capital funds and private sources.
