BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE We understand that concerns regarding a piece of spa/led precast concrete from the south elevation prompted the initial visit on September 3, 2008. During the September 3rd visit, we observed that the tieback connection at the spall location was completely broken. A quick visual review of a portion of the other exposed tieback connections in the immediate vicinity revealed other tieback connections which were also broken. We agreed that Walker should perform a visual survey of the exposed tieback connections throughout the parking structure. The parking structure is a post-tensioned structure with an exterior 10 inch thick precast concrete facade with brick imbedded into the precast. The precast façade is supported by foundations to carry its own weight and is tied back laterally to the parking structure for stability. Therefore, the objective of our services for this proposal is to perform a visual condition review of the exposed precast facade tieback connections to determine the number of broken façade connections. Walker will provide an opinion as to if eminently hazardous conditions exist. Additionally, we will provide o schematic connection design with an opinion of construction costs, ' / 'T / yl �M/ � / Mr. Richard Hoke WALKER Se�om6vr26' 2O08 �w��N� Page 2 provide final drawings for bidding, and include site visits to observe repairs for conformance to the repair design intent.

RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the City Council award a contract to Walker Restoration Consultants of Elgin, IL for preparation of bid documents for repairs to the Symphony Parking Deck in the amount of$17,250. BACKGROUND Failures of some of the brick panels were recognized on the façade of the Centre parking deck. Upon further investigation, it appeared that there was unusual movement in the precast panels which caused failures of many of the connectors. Because Walker Parking Consultants had designed the deck, they were asked to perform an initial inspection of the deck and determine the cause. Their inspection revealed that several of the connectors that hold the prefab panels in place were broken and they have recommended that they be repaired as soon as possible. There are also additional connectors of the same style that Walker is recommending be replaced before they also fail. Walker is estimating the cost of the repairs to be $28,500. To date we have incurred $7,100 in expenses with Walker Consulting for the inspection, analysis and cost estimates. The original connectors were designed by the panel manufacturer as required by the bid specifications for the parking deck construction. We would like Walker to continue the work they have started to complete the design of the new connector system and prepare bid specifications and drawings for the repair of the panels. The cost for the additional work would be $10,150 for a total cost of$17,250.
