FROM: Daryl R. Grigsby, Director of Public Works
Prepared By: Michael J. McGuire, Engineer III
SUBJECT: SINSHEIMER STADIUM STAIRS REPLACEMENT,
SPECIFICATION NO. 91255
RECOMMENDATIONS
1. Approve plans and specifications for “Sinsheimer Stadium Stairs Replacement, Specification
No. 91255”.
2. Authorize staff to advertise for bids and authorize the City Manager to award the contract if
the lowest responsible bidder is within the Engineer’s Estimate of $109,000.
3. Approve the transfer of $7,732 from the project’s design account and $15,000 from the
construction management account to the construction account at the time of bid award.
DISCUSSION
The easterly stairs leading to the field at Sinsheimer Baseball Stadium was built in the mid-
1970’s. These stairs have primarily served as access to the field area for the players and
occasionally for the public during special events. Unlike the concrete stairs on the north side of
the stadium, this stairway is of steel fabrication with concrete treads.
Over forty years of use have left the stairs in a poor condition. Most of the concrete treads are
missing portions of concrete or have been patched. The steel nosings on the treads have worn
smooth from use and create a slippery condition on the stairs. The ground at the top landing to
the stairs has sunk, resulting in a wide gap and vertical displacement between the landing and the
stairs. This gap has been patched over but requires constant maintenance.
This project will replace the existing steel staircase with a cast-in-place concrete stairs that is
fully compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). The treads and nosings will be
entirely covered with a metal plate embedded with slip-resistant material to handle the cleats of
the baseball player’s shoes. The railing will be replaced with new steel railing compliant with
current building codes. Also, the design will provide for level and connected landings at the top
and bottom of the staircase.
CONCURRENCES
This project has the concurrence of the Community Development Department with building
permits pending approval. Construction of an ADA ramp was not required due to this project
being an ADA upgrade to existing facilities.

FISCAL IMPACT
The 2013-15 Financial Plan, Appendix B, pages 3-390 to 3-392, identifies $20,000 for design,
$105,000 for construction, along with $15,000 for construction management. The current
construction schedule allows for staff inspection and negates the need for consultant services for
construction management. A transfer of the $15,000 from construction management and the
current amount of $7,732 from design into the construction account phase will provide funds to
fully support construction. This will provide a total construction budget of $127,732.
ALTERNATIVE
Deny approval to advertise. The Council could choose to deny or defer the approval for advertising
of this project. Staff does not recommend this option. Should this be denied or deferred,
replacement of the stairs will be delayed. The existing steel staircase will continue to deteriorate
with the possibility of the stairs being closed for use. Since the stadium is a facility that the City
charges a fee for use, the facility should be maintained in a reasonable state of usability.
