PART 2 - MEMORIAL FIELD PROJECT

Question #2: Number of Meetings Proposed compensation includes 18 meetings under Part 1 - Schematic Plan Update and 12 meetings under Part 2 to be attended by the design team with the various stakeholders described in the RFP. This includes the “at-large” community meetings as well as meetings required to coordinate with State College Borough and school district athletic departments, staff, administration and school board. Additional meetings (not including the community “at large” meetings) requested by the district will be invoiced at $600 to $1,200 per meeting. Question #3: Additional Services or Costs Additional services which could be incurred include specialty consultants such as acoustical design, audio-visual consulting, topographic and boundary surveys, geotechnical engineering investigations/studies/foundation reports, stormwater infiltration testing, hazardous waste identification and abatement, or specialty sports lighting. Other additional services include measured drawings and/or comprehensive survey of existing conditions, and storm water mitigation design to address the field drainage condition. Question #4: Understanding of the Project The Palumbo-Skibinski team is very familiar with the Memorial Field site having developed the currently approved schematic plan and designed the replacement of the West Bleachers (Phase 1). Throughout conceptual and schematic designs, we have gained an appreciation of the opportunities and constraints that existing conditions at Memorial Field present. Project planning and design development should meet the challenges of the site by taking advantage of this historical urban setting. The project should be approached with a goal of accentuating its unique character that is so valued by the State College Area School District and community, especially the Allen Street Civic District.

There are many decisions to be considered in context of the recently completed building evaluations. The Central Office Building and the Fairmont Building provide opportunity for programming support spaces. The proximity of the Central Office Building to the east bleachers suggests possibilities of repurposing the building and/or site. The Fairmont Building is large enough to allow for field house programming to support student athletes and perhaps a new game-day tradition could be started, which would incorporate a ceremonial “march” to the stadium from the facilities in the building. Whatever the appropriate solution is it must involve selective improvements to a variety of current conditions including circulation, accessibility, players’ and officials’ facilities, spectator amenities, code compliance and seating capacity. The collective outcome will derive from a holistic approach conforming to the satisfaction of the general objective to modernize facilities while keeping intact the historic feel of Memorial Field.

STATE COLLEGE AREA SCHOOL DISTRICT - MEMORIAL FIELD STADIUM RENOVATIONS State College, PA

The design team of The Palumbo Group, Skibinski Associates and Crawford Architects (aka Palumbo Skibinski Crawford) was commissioned by the State College Area School District (SCASD) to develop a schematic design for the renovation and expansion of Memorial Field originally constructed from 1933-1937. The facility is located in close proximity to the downtown business district and serves as the primary outdoor athletic venue for the SCASD. It hosts several athletic teams, physical education classes and many community organization events. Palumbo Skibinski Crawford conducted design charrettes with the local community and met with the District’s various sports’ coaches and student athletes to program the space. The design team developed design options ranging from approximately 4,000 seats to 5,800 seats, and associated estimates. The final plan incorporates new bleachers for approximately 4,000, restrooms, locker facilities, concession areas, an internal pedestrian access walkway, ticket booths, a plaza area, stormwater management facilities and other amenities. Estimated project cost is $16.0 million. Palumbo Skibinski Crawford was subsequently retained to develop contract documents and to provide construction administration services for Phase 1 of the schematic design/ renovation plan. This $2.8 million project was substantially completed in Fall 2013.

SCRANTON SCHOOL DISTRICT MEMORIAL STADIUM Scranton, Pennsylvania

After completion of the new Scranton High School, The School District became interested in completing The Campus like atmosphere with the renovation of the Memorial Stadium. With no significant upgrades occurring at the stadium since it was built in 1949 and straddled with a limited maintenance budget, the stadium was fast approaching a state of disrepair. The Stadium project was completed in three phases. It involved lead paint abatement of the bleachers, installation of a synthetic track and field and the renovation of the bleachers, team rooms, locker rooms, concession stands, toilet room and offices. Additions accommodated an expanded sports program and code compliance issues. The project was scheduled around the football, track and field and soccer season. The first phase was to include removing the lead based paint off the top of the bleachers, provide new aluminum seating for the bleachers, new ADA seating and ramps, renovate the interior and exterior of the press box which included technology upgrades, state of the art sound system, an 8 lane synthetic track and a synthetic football and soccer field. The second phase included the buildings under the bleachers and site improvements. The building improvements included using construction materials on the Providence Road elevation that matched what was used on the High School, renovating the existing locker rooms, bringing up to code the toilet rooms, adding concession stands, providing additional storage room and adding a multi-purpose room. The site improvements included enlarged pavement areas for circulation, new ticket booths and entrance and decorative fencing around the perimeter of the site.
