Downtown parking garage repairs proposed at $320,808 to be funded by downtown CRA; emergency CRA meeting scheduled
Summary
Staff presented a scope of repairs to the downtown parking garage totaling $320,808 to be funded through the downtown CRA; Whitehead Construction proposed start as early as May 12 with an estimated 45-day completion window.
City staff said portions of the downtown parking garage have been closed for several months after a preventative maintenance inspection identified water intrusion and spalling of concrete that requires repair.
Kimley-Horn provided a design and scope of work, and Whitehead Construction (the original garage builder) submitted a proposal to perform the initial repairs for $320,808, to be funded through the downtown Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA). Staff said the closures were made out of an abundance of caution and that the underlying structure remains sound; the issues are tied to water penetration at joints and deterioration of caulking and concrete at lift points.
Staff scheduled an emergency CRA meeting for Monday evening so the CRA board can approve funding; once CRA approval is secured, the item will be brought before the city commission to authorize the manager to proceed. City staff said Whitehead could start as early as May 12, and estimated roughly 45 days for completion. Staff said the garage can remain open during work if areas are coordinated and temporarily closed as needed for safety.
Staff said the work includes water sealing between precast deck pieces and concrete repairs around lifting points where spalling could result in dislodged concrete. Staff emphasized the repairs are cosmetic and to prevent debris from falling through gaps; they said there were no structural integrity concerns identified in the inspection.
