The buildings will be roofed with metal decking on steel bar joist, with rigid insulation and a modified bitumen membrane roofing material.

Concrete flat work is 12,555 sf @ $/sf

The masonry buildings total 7,233 sf @ $195/sf = $1,410,435.

8. Project Status: Please check the phase of construction that best describes your project at the time of this application. Describe status.



*Briefly explain why the request has now been referred to the Commission.

The School District has been budgeting money for the many critical life safety code upgrade projects that are critical in the District. It was determined that the budget for Phase 2 at the Citrus Bowl was short on funding. The new elevator to the press box is the single most expensive line item that could be eliminated without effecting other code issues.




Requirements to be Waived.




9. Requirements requested to be waived. Please reference the applicable section of Florida law. Only Florida-specific accessibility requirements may be waived.


Issue 1: Florida-specific hotel/motel rooms Minimum height in parking structures Accessible parking
Vertical accessibility Toilet rooms
Private Other

Phase one of this project saw the 50 year old home side bleachers being replaced and a new premanufactured press box installed as part of the bleacher vendors scope. Vertical accessibility to this press box is extra ordinarily expensive given the height to width ratio of a free standing elevator hoistway. There is no structural support at the top landing which makes the hoistway a 50 foot tall cantilever.


Issue 2: Florida-specific hotel/motel rooms Minimum height in parking structures Accessible parking
Vertical accessibility Toilet rooms
Private Other Need Additional Space
Issue 3: Florida-specific hotel/motel rooms Minimum height in parking structures Accessible parking
Vertical accessibility Toilet rooms
Private Other Need Additional Space

Grounds for waiver.


10. Grounds for Waiver: The Florida Building Commission may grant waivers of Florida-specific accessibility requirements upon a determination of unnecessary, unreasonable or extreme hardship. Please describe how this project meets the following hardship criteria. Explain all that would apply for consideration of granting the waiver.


NOTE:**


Need Additional Space


The elevator hoistway will be 50 ft. tall with an effective footprint of 6 ft. x 8 ft. The hoistway will need to be free standing because the pre-manufactured press box cannot accept any load from the elevator. The structure to withstand todays windloads with the height required and very small footprint is extraordinarily expensive and the budget for the toilet and locker room accessibility upgrades is already over the Districts available funds.


Cost Estimates For Compliance:










Licensed Design Professional Comments.
