DISCUSSION
On June 7, 2016, the City Council approved an additional $800,000 to the Metro Builders &
Engineers Group, Ltd. construction contract to address the urgent safety and liability issues that
were discovered during construction.
Since then, the contractor has completed all the structural repairs on the west side of the stadium
(Exhibit 1) and has made those stadium stands available for public use and event scheduling.
The contractor continues to work diligently on the repairs located on the east side of the stadium
(Exhibit 2) and is still on schedule to complete the work by the end of August 2016 to
accommodate the start of the football season. Once completed, the east side bleachers will also
be available for public use. Throughout the duration of the project, the Stadium's field has not
been impacted by construction and continues to be available for daily use.
The Santa Ana Stadium, also known as Eddie West Field and Santa Ana Bowl, is a City -owned
9,000 seat football stadium that was constructed in 1963. It has been over 52 years since the
Santa Ana Stadium has undergone any major construction. After much review and consideration
of funding options, the Stadium was scheduled for substantial concrete repairs to mitigate the
adverse impacts of aging and weathering of the structure.
On January 19, 2016, City Council approved a contract with Metro Builders & Engineers Group,
Ltd. for structural concrete repairs. During construction, the contractor and staff discovered
significant structural deficiencies in the Stadium's concrete and steel reinforcement, and the
unforeseen deficiencies required additional emergency repairs to the structure.
