RE: |
Library Parking Garage Change Order, Addition of Alternate
Bid #1 for Parking Control and Security Cameras |
Please include the following item on the City Commission
Consent Agenda for consideration at the January 28, 2014 meeting.
Project
Description/History
Bids for the library/parking
garage project were received and opened at City Hall on October 30, 2012. BA
Green, the City’s construction management firm, and Gould Evans evaluated the
bids and recommended a bid package totaling $5,274,345. This amount is in
keeping with the project budget ($18 million voter approved debt issuance).
On November 20, 2012 the Commission awarded the base bid for
the library parking garage for $5,274,345. Since that time the garage is well
under way to completion. After further discussion with the City Manager’s
Office, Police Department, Parking Control Office and Public Works it has been
determined that parking access management and security cameras are a needed
element in the new garage.
Access management will allow the garage to be fully utilized.
Access management was an option/ alternate of the original bids that were
received on October 20, 2012. We have since met with the low bidder (Fisher
Parking) and negotiated a scope that we believe will meet the needs of the
garage and the community.
Parking
Structure and Fees
Parkers will be able to enter/exit the garage from Vermont
St. and Kentucky St. The 10 hour parking stalls will cost $1.00 per 10 hours or
be capable of utilizing a 10 hour permit. Payment will be via a pay on foot
station (POF). There will be two POF stations located in the garage; one at
each exit. The 2 hour free parking will not require the use of the POF
stations. Enforcement of the garage parking will be similar to the River Front
and New Hampshire garages.
The garage has four levels and will be fee based on the
following chart:
|
Lowest level (south side) |
10 hour pay or permit |
