DISCUSSION
The Santa Ana Stadium, also known as the Eddie West Field and the Santa Ana Bowl, is a City -
owned 9,000 seat football stadium that was constructed in 1963. It's been over 52 years since the
Santa Ana Stadium has undergone any major construction to mitigate the adverse impacts of aging
and weathering of the infrastructure. After much review and consideration of funding options, it was
determined to schedule the Stadium for substantial concrete repair.
On January 19, 2016, City Council approved a contract with Metro Builders & Engineers Group,
Ltd. for structural concrete repairs scheduled to be completed by May 2016. The intent was to
complete construction by May 2016 to avoid any impacts on Stadium use, specifically graduations
ceremonies and major high school and College football games traditionally conducted at the
Stadium. In late March 2016, while working to complete the necessary repairs, the contractor
discovered significant structural deficiencies in the Stadium's concrete and corroded steel (Exhibit
1). The unforeseen deficiencies required additional emergency repairs to the concrete as well as
to the reinforced steel that are scheduled to be completed by September 2016 (Exhibit 2).
Fortunately, the Stadium's field has not been impacted by the construction and the community
continues to use the field on a daily basis. In the effort to minimize field use impacts for sports
organizations at the Stadium field and the Dan Young Soccer Complex (scheduled for synthetic
turf replacement from June - August 2016), staff will meet with the impacted sports organizations to
share an alternative field plan that will ensure that any affected field users are accommodated.
Furthermore, staff, in partnership with the Santa Ana Unified School District ( SAUSD) and Santa
Ana College (SAC), have made every effort to accommodate the annual graduation and
commencement ceremonies at Centennial Park and will continue to assist. The City has decided
to co- sponsor the majority of the fees associated with the graduation ceremonies for SAUSD and
commencement ceremony for SAC. There are additional costs to be incurred by SAUSD and Santa
Ana College that include costs for street safety and traffic control, which are assessed by the Santa
