BOARD/COMMISSION REVIEW:
N/A
BACKGROUND:
In 2016, the City established CIP Project MB160, Downtown Parking Deck Maintenance Program, as a multi-year capital project to ensure the Central Business District parking decks are maintained as a sustainable asset in Special Services Area (SSA) #26.
During 2017, as part of the scope of work outlined in MB160, the City’s then architectural and engineering consultant, Farnsworth Group, performed a comprehensive evaluation of the public parking decks. This evaluation resulted in the development of a five-year maintenance plan to extend the life and usability of the parking decks. The report indicated that the deck joints and sealant at the Van Buren Deck require repair and replacement to prevent water from leaking through, contributing to further deterioration.
DISCUSSION:
In 2018 and 2019, the deck joints on the top and fourth levels of the Van Buren Parking Deck were repaired and the sealants were replaced. This work was completed by F.H. Paschen through Job Order Contracting (JOC) due to the need for multiple trade specialists.
In 2020, the deck joints on the third level of the Van Buren Parking Deck will be repaired and the sealants replaced. The project will consist of removing the existing sealant and backer rod at all precast joints, preparing and priming the joints, welding any broken sheer connectors, and installing new backer rod and sealant at all joints.
Similar to the work completed in 2018 and 2019, DPW staff recommends this work be completed by the City’s new JOC contractor, Robe Inc.
FISCAL IMPACT:
