DISCUSSION

CONSTRUCTION COSTS Construction Costs - Value Considerations • Initial Cost vs. Long-Term Costs • Architecture & Amenities • Technology, Security & Access Control • Structural System • Durability Features • Quality Parking Experience • Sustainable Design / Certification

CONSTRUCTION COSTS Construction Costs Parking Structure Experience Extensive Historical Data • Local • Regional • National Experience with Local Contractors Assess Cost & Value of Amenities

PROJECT OBJECTIVES

PROJECT OBJECTIVES

EVALUATION OF STRUCTURED PARKING (TRENDS) Parking Structure: Unique Building Type Reinforced concrete bridges … functioned reasonably well until the late 1960s, when premature concrete delamination and spalling … ..coincided with the increased application of deicing salts … to implement a "bare pavement policy“ (FHWA-RD-98-088)

EVALUATION OF STRUCTURED PARKING (TRENDS) Parking Structure: Unique Building Type Corrosion Costs and Preventive Strategies in the United States ( PUBLICATION NO. FHWA-RD-01-156) “Results of the study show that the total annual estimated direct cost of corrosion in the U.S. is a staggering $276 billion…” Infrastructure, including bridges and highways ~ $22.6 billion. Concrete Corrosion Damage

OPERATIONS & MANAGEMENT Maintenance Budgeting Long-Term Financial Assessment Assess Structural Systems Prepare Short-Term and Long-Term Budgets  Housekeeping  Operations  Annual Maintenance & Repair  Capital Expenditures Develop an Operations/Management Plan Protect Long-Term Investment
