The 2018 Capital Budget includes $130,000 for Phase 4 of the Parking Structure Maintenance & Repair Program. Phase 4 of the program focuses on the Evergreen Underground Parking Garage built in 1998. In 2013, the Village inspected all of the parking structures for necessary repairs to extend the life of the parking structures.
In 2018, the Village requested bid proposal submittals for the maintenance and repair of the Evergreen Underground Parking Garage structure. The rehabilitation work will include concrete repairs, pavement striping, and door and stair repairs. We also included the lowering of the west first floor wall at the Vail Garage to eliminate a sight line hazard. We believe the wall at the Vail Garage was originally constructed higher to block headlights from shining into properties to the west of the Vail Garage. Once the addition over Highland Avenue was added to the Vail Garage the purpose of this wall was eliminated.
On April 10, 2018, five bids and were publicly opened and read aloud. The following bids were received:
