Proposal #N1-10-113 <br />Dear Mr. Littrell: <br />Carl Walker, Inc (Carl Walker) is pleased to present this proposal for engineering and architectural <br />services related to the anticipated <br />Bartlett Street Parking Structure facade <br />renovation. Facade improvements are <br />anticipated along the north and west <br />elevations. <br />PROJECT UNDERSTANDING <br />The Bartlett Street Parking Structure was <br />built in the late 1970's and consists of <br />one slab-on-grade level (Level 1) and <br />four supported parking levels (Levels 2, <br />3, 4 and 5). <br />The three bay wide structure measures <br />approximately 277 feet in the east/west .,.~ <br />direction, by 144 feet in the north/south ~'~'` s `' <br />-~.,.,p <br />direction. The two outer bays are 57 ~ x«~` <br />feet wide, and the center bay is a 27- <br />foot wide two-way speed ramp providing the vertical flow <br />between levels. The total supported slab area measures approximately <br />160,000 square feet with the slab-on-grade level providing an additional <br />40,000 square feet. <br />This 30-year old parking structure utilizes aprecast/prestressed concrete <br />structural system with long span tees and acast-in-place concrete topping. <br />The structural system for the speed ramp consists of an 8" thick prestressed <br />hollow core plank with acast-in-place concrete topping. The current <br />facade is as follows: <br />0 <br />North Elevation -This elevation faces Bartlett Street. The east end <br />abuts directly to the Medical Office Building (brick facade). The floors and spandrels on this <br />elevation are flat. Following development of the construction documents in 2006 the street level <br />entry/exit lanes were moved to the Bartlett Street (from the west entrance drive). The new <br />multiple story entrance sign was also added at this time. <br />1 ~~; i ~_ ~~~ ~. I ~ n ~~ .•uiir- ~:,~~ rr~iun ~~,<< 1,;:~ d4 ._ ~ ,1 . ,_<< i c~%.: ay Cute www.coriwalker.com <br />
