STEVEN' S SQUARE PARKING GARAGE

BACKGROUND
Councilman Prescott reported a concern that the southeast corner of the Steven's
Square Parking Structure might not be properly repaired at the City Council's
meeting on July 5th. In response to this concern, the Community Development
Department requested that BSI (the City's inspection service on the renovation
of the structure) investigate the condition of the property and render a
professional opinion on the condition of the structure and any appropriate
recommended acti OhS.
Based on BSI's observations, they believe that the movement in the masonry at
the southeast and northeast corners of the parking structure appears to be
cosmetic and does not indicate structural weakness of the structure. Due to the
nature of the corrective construction that was recently performed, the design
engineer of record expressed his opinion, at the time of construction, that some
movement could be anticipated.
Due to BSI's role as an enforcement agency during the recent reconstruction,
their recommendations are advisory. It has been recommended that the design
engineer of record be advised of the conditions and requested to visit the job
site. The City would acquire a copy of the engineer's response and any
recommendations. Only if recomended by the engineer is any corrected action
felt necessary.
A copy of the letter sent to the design engineer is attached.
Upon a response from the design engineer, staff will provide a status update to
the City Council.
