BACKGROUND:
The Central Parking Facility, Van Buren, and Water Street parking decks were built in 1987, 2000, and 2015 respectively. An assessment completed in 2017 revealed that these decks require repair, renovation, and ongoing maintenance. The Central Parking Facility (CPF), the oldest of the structures, is an approximately 151,000 square foot, three-level precast double-tee structure. This structure was identified as having the highest repair and maintenance priority due to age-related deterioration and corrosion and, from April 2021 through July 2021, the deck underwent significant structural repairs. Lighting improvement is the next phase of renovation at this deck, which is necessary to improve system reliability and enhance safety.
In July 2021, the Department of Public Works issued Bid 21-245, Central Parking Facility - LED Lighting Retrofit, to replace existing lighting located on the top, middle, and lower levels, as well as the exterior of CPF, with LED lights. The work includes a one-for-one lighting replacement at existing locations and new fixture installation per the plan drawings. Additional necessary work consists of conduit repair, junction boxes and attachment hardware, as well as installing expansion joints in the conduit at each lighting location. In keeping with the City's conservation initiatives, an option was included as part of the bid to add motion control to the lighting system which allows the lights to dim to a set point when the space is not occupied and then brighten when approached.
