C:Q r1 <br /> W.alk4ar <br /> March 10, 2017 <br /> Mr. Matt Newell <br /> City Engineer, Public Works Department <br /> One Gary K.Anderson Plaza <br /> Decatur, Illinois 62523 <br /> Dear Matt, <br /> We updated and copied here the information given in our 2015 Condition Assessment. <br /> EXECUTIVE SUMMARY <br /> In accordance with our proposal dated June 24, 2015, Carl Walker, Inc. has completed a condition assessment of <br /> The City of Decatur Garages B and C.The objectives of our assessment were to perform an onsite evaluation of <br /> the parking structure's current condition and maintenance needs,to identify any immediate actions required due <br /> to structural concerns, and to provide an update to the 2009 multi-year repair and maintenance plan that can be <br /> used to schedule and budget the recommended repairs. <br /> Garage B, located on E. North St. between N. Main St. and N.Water St., is a four level structure providing 681 <br /> parking spaces. Garage C, located on S. Franklin St between E.Wood St. and E. Main St., is a two level structure <br /> providing 773 parking spaces. Garages B &C were both constructed in 1966 and have a long history of repair and <br /> maintenance, including major repair programs in 1992, 2004—2006,and 2011. <br /> On August 12 and 13, 2015, Carl Walker,Inc. completed an onsite evaluation of Garages B and C while they were <br /> in operation.The evaluation included visual observations and sounding of representative areas of the floor surface <br /> and other structural elements. Based on our review,we found both structures to be in reasonably good, <br /> serviceable condition. Past repair efforts have preserved and protected the structures reasonably well. However, <br /> concrete distress and waterproofing nearing the end of its anticipated service life was observed and will require <br /> repair extend the life of the garages.The deterioration and repairs should be considered normal for structure of <br /> this age, construction, and location. <br /> We have prepared a multi-year repair and maintenance plan, based upon our observations and the anticipated <br /> City near-term budget.A summary of the estimated repair costs is shown in the table below. <br /> Near-Term 2017 Medium-Term Long-Term 2021 - <br /> 2018 - 2020 2023 <br /> Garage 6 - Project Total (2017 Dollars) $ 319,000.00 $ 999,000.00 $ 822,600.00 <br /> Garage C - Project Total (2017 Dollars) $ 266,200.00 $ 527,400.00 $ 442,800.00 <br /> 8910 Purdue Road, Suite 400,Indianapolis,IN 46268 1 317.735.3349 1 carlwalker.com <br />
