SUMMARY AND 12ECOiMMENDATION Staff recommends approval of a consulting services agreement with Walker Parking Consultants in the amount of $244.000 to provide professional construction support for the subject project. I3ACKCROUND The existing 2 -level parking garage was constructed in 1973. Since then, concerns with the existing structure developed, including: I) the insufficient number of parking spaces; 2) traffic circulation within the structure and entry /exit onto both Estudillo Avenue and Callan Avenue; 3) Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) accessibility; 4) security; and 5) the structure's ability to withstand a significant seismic event. In 2008, Walker Parking Consultants was retained to design a replacement parking structure to address all of the deficiencies noted. The design included: 1) a 4- or 5 -story parking structure; 2) exterior colors and materials to complement the architecture of the Main Library; and 3) a 2.000- square foot office space for the Chamber of Commerce fronting Estudillo Avenue. The building is Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) registered and a Silver certification level appears achievable. In addition to the structure, the Plaza Del Oro will be upgraded to match the improvements recently completed on the west side of East 14`" Street. The City Council approved the project plans and awarded a contract for the construction of a 4- story parking structure to Webcor Construction. The new structure will provide 395 parking spaces and will be an open structure to promote security and provide an inviting image to users.
