FROM:
Sergio Rodriguez, City Manager

SUBJECT:
RELOCATION OF THE 0
OWL TENNIS TOURNAMENT
The Orange Bowl Committee recently announced its intention to relocate the Annual International Junior
Tennis Championships from Flamingo Park, where the tournament has been held for the past 51 years, to
the Crandon Park Tennis Center on Key Biscayne. Keith Tribble, Executive Director ofthe Orange Bowl
Committee has stated that the move "would ensure the addition of corporate sponsorships". Mr. Tribble, on
behalf of the Orange Bowl Committee, has thanked the City of Miami Beach for their support and efforts
over the years, in making the event one of the most prestigious junior tennis events in the world.
In January of 1996, the Orange Bowl Committee requested that certain improvements be made to the
Flamingo Tennis Center, host site for the annual Rolex Orange Bowl International Tennis Championships.
The matter was referred for consideration to the Recreational Facilities and Parks Advisory Board at its
meeting on January 11, 1996. The Board voted unanimously that the City commit the amount of funding
previously approved in the Parks General Obligation Bond referendum ($225,000) and that the Orange Bowl
Committee be responsible for funding the balance of the additional improvements by seeking support from
other sponsors. The probable construction costs for Phase I renovations requested by the Orange Bowl
Committee was $559,630. This phase included new layout and installation of new courts, lighting, fencing,
windscreens, and construction of concrete walkways and curbs. Additionally, the Orange Bowl Committee
requested a second phase that would construct a new 3,000 seat stadium, restrooms and locker rooms. The
estimate for this phase exceeded $3,000,000.
On January 24, 1996, this issue was referred by the City Commission to the Capital Improvements/ Finance
Committee for discussion at its meeting of January 31, 1996. At that time a motion was made and
unanimously approved that the item be referred to the Commission with a recommendation that $225,000
be allocated and that the Administration be directed to explore additional funding sources. It was also the
Commission's directive that the Administration provide a copy of proposed plans for tennis center
renovations to the Orange Bowl Committee staff, and requested that they seek matching dollars and/or
sponsorships to assist in the project. The Orange Bowl Committee declined to participate in the project and
subsequently made the decision to relocate the tournament. Attached, for your information, are the related
agenda items presented to the City Commission.
Should you have additional questions, please advise.

PROBABLE COST
PROPOSED REDEVELOPMENT OF THE FLAMINGO PARK TENNIS CENTER
CITY OF MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA
HARUM ARCHITECTS
October 21, 1995
ARCHITECT'S NOTES:
1. Reference is made to the drawing entitled Proposed Redevelopment of the Flamingo
Park Tennis Center, City of Miami Beach, Florida, dated October 21, 1995 as prepared
by Hamm Architects.
2. This study, as well as the above-mentioned drawing, has been prepared without benefit of
accurate surveys of existing conditions and should be considered useful only in
determining budget figures for the proposed redevelopment work.
.
3. So that the work affecting the majority of the tennis courts, namely the reconfiguration of
field courts and related work, may be accomplished prior to the 1996 Rolex Orange Bowl
International Tennis Championships, it is proposed that the work cDvered by this project
be phased as follows:
Phase I - Generally shall include the modifications to the seventeen "field courts"
and related lighting and irrigation work, as well as construction of spectator
viewing areas and walkways.
Page 1 of3
Phase II - Generally shall include the construction of stadium and under-stadium
facilities, as weII as relocation of existing bleacher units elsewhere within the
tennis complex.
4. This study assumes that the existing tennis court material will be salvaged and will
provide the base for courts 1 through 16 and the stadium court. These courts will require
resurfacing and the application of a one inch thick topping.
5. Due to deterioration in the condition of existing irrigation, lighting and fencing systems,
this study assumes the complete removal of those systems and the installation of new
irrigatIOn, lighting and fencing.
