7638 PARKING STRUCTURES SPECIFICATIONS & DRAWINGS
BACKGROUND
The City is requesting proposals for qualified firms to provide specifications, drawings,
and long term maintenance and snow plow removal plans for the Civic Center Parking
Structure and the Old Town Parking Structure. The most important of these is
providing specifications and drawings (if needed) to get the construction work
completed this year.
Structures are located: Old Town Parking Structure (106,820 sf) is located at 102
Remington Street (built in 1985) and Civic Center Parking Structure (288,110 sf) is
located at 120 N. Mason Street (built in 1999).
In 2013, the City hired Martin/Martin Consulting Engineers to conduct a Parking
Structures Condition Appraisal. From that appraisal, the City’s next step is to complete
bid specifications and drawings so we can complete the work this year.
Future work may include design, structural engineering, reports and drawings as
necessary. This could include a future condition appraisal. All future work will be
issued through work orders. No work order will exceed $75,000.
This is a one year agreement but, at the option of the City, the Agreement may be
extended for additional one year periods not to exceed four (4) additional one year
periods. Written notice of renewal shall be provided to the Service Provider and mailed
no later than 90 days prior to contract end.

CIVIC CENTER GARAGE
Waterproofing Repairs
The new sealants placed in the vertical joints should be a non-bleeding silicone sealant;
the color should match the original joint sealant being replaced and or the adjacent
materials, veneer, spandrel panels, etc. Prior to installation the joints should be properly
cleaned and primed per the manufacturer’s recommendations. A closed cell backer rod
should be installed where required to complete the installation of the vertical sealants.
Where the vertical joints extend up to the top of any given spandrel panel or column, the
new joint sealant should wrap up and over the top of the spandrel panels and back
down the inside vertical face to the location where it intersects with the horizontal
surface. Any flashings that need to be removed or put in place to complete this should
be done; the flashing should be removed, reinstalled, and/or replaced if they are
damaged during the removal. The flashing should be secured to the structure similar to
the current flashing and painted to match.
Some of the locations where the sealants should be removed and replaced are as

maintenance manual would contain various checklists so that on-site maintenance
personnel can perform quick reviews of what items have been completed periodically
throughout the year.
The maintenance plan should also outline specific methods and procedures to be used
to remove snow and ice from the exposed levels of the garage. The maintenance plan
would define the capacity of the structure, outline what size of snow removal equipment
is acceptable, and offer acceptable locations and sizes of snow storage stockpiles.
This maintenance plan would include directions on implementing routine maintenance
items that can be performed on an annual basis by on-site maintenance personnel. It
would further outline preventative maintenance items that should be budgeted for
considering a multi-year recurrence interval in order to prolong the structural integrity
and maintain the waterproofing elements. This also includes the specific snow removal
techniques and a snow removal plan to ensure that the structure is not overloaded
above and beyond its design capacity. The normal wear and tear of snow removal
procedures would be considered when approximating the recurrence intervals of the
multi-year maintenance items mentioned above.

this Agreement (the “Agreement”), the Professional hereby acknowledges that it has been
informed that the City has established policies and procedures with regard to the handling of
confidential information and other sensitive materials.
In consideration of access to certain information, data and material (hereinafter individually and

City shall, in the event of any such breach, be entitled to seek equitable relief (including without
limitation preliminary and permanent injunctive relief and specific performance) in addition to all
other remedies provided hereunder or available at law.
