5. Discussion/Action on Transit District Parking Deck, including
consideration of contract with Walker Parking
Sarah Smith reviewed the history of the project. The deadline to complete
construction of the parking deck, in order to secure the $1 million TOD grant, is
June 2007. Discussion followed regarding the feasibility of replacing the
$800,000 green roof concept, with a 3~d deck. It is estimated that the third deck,
engineering fees and beefed up foundation and columns would be about
$930,000. By pledging the maximum HRA levy, plus inflation, for the term of the
bonds, plus if the 10% contingency is not needed, the proposed combined
methods of financing should be close to paying for the project.
Staff recommends bidding this project with the base bid plus an add-alternate for
the 3`d deck, and an add-alternate for oversized foundation and columns to allow
possible addition of a 3~d deck in the future.
MOTION by Osmek, seconded by Specht to approve proceeding with the Transit
District Parking Deck, bidding the base project, plus two add-alternatives, being
fora 3`d deck, and for oversized foundation and columns to allow addition of a 3~d
deck in the future. All voted in favor. Motion carried.
MOTION by Beise, seconded by Specht to authorize staff to negotiate a contract
with Walker Parking for professional services for facility design and preparation
of plans and specifications. All voted in favor. Motion carried.
