Description
The Department of Veterans Affairs is seeking a qualified Architect-Engineering (AE) firm to evaluate the remaining life of the Syracuse VA Medical Center's 990-stall parking garage and offer repair solutions for extending its life to at least 2040. The project involves analyzing the garage's current condition, estimating the costs to extend its life, and providing a concept and estimated cost to construct a new 180-stall parking garage. The selected firm will be required to perform an analysis of the existing garage, determine the expected remaining usable life, and estimate the maintenance and repair costs to extend its life. The firm will also need to estimate the costs associated with constructing a new smaller parking garage.
Key aspects of the project include:
• Analyzing the garage's construction type, age, and findings during recent repair work
• Determining the expected remaining usable life of the garage
• Estimating the maintenance and repair costs to extend the life of the garage
• Providing a concept and estimated cost to construct a new 180-stall parking garage
• Complying with the VA Parking Design Manual and Cost Estimating Requirements for Veterans Affairs Facilities
