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 (CBD) parking facilities are maintained as a sustainable asset in Special Services Area #26. The Central Parking, Van Buren and Water Street parking decks were built in 1987, 2001, and 2015 respectively.
In August 2019, the Department of Public Works (DPW) awarded RFP 19-256, Parking Deck Consultant Services, to Walker Consultants (Walker) to provide design service, engineering documents, construction drawings, bidding assistance and site management services for the City parking deck projects of various scope and size.
In addition to partnering with the City for the renovation of the Central Parking deck, Walker completed a full assessment of all municipal parking facilities and created a report of findings as well as a five-year plan for renovation and maintenance. The report categorizes the recommended work, by location, into immediate action, near-term (1-2 years) and medium term (3-5 years). The renovation of the Van Buren deck is in the near-term category of recommended work.
To align with the recommended renovation timeline, in January 2023, DPW issued Parking Facility Maintenance Improvements, to hire a contractor to perform maintenance work at the Van Buren parking facility. The work includes repairs to tee flanges, tee stems, beams, columns, and walls. Additionally, replacement of floor sealants, expansion joints, traffic bearing membrane, floor drains, and other miscellaneous repairs on the upper and middle levels of the parking structure.
