Staffreport
SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Staff recommends that the City Council accept the work and authorize the City Manager to file the Notice of Completion, release the performance and payment bonds and release the maintenance bond upon successful completion of the one-year maintenance period.
BACKGROUND
The exterior of the Downtown Parking Garage was designed to complement and fit with adjacent downtown building architecture and not appear like a typical parking structure. To increase parking usage at this location, improved and attractive signage was desired to make the facility more inviting and the entrances easier to find. Two new LED lighted wall signs stating “PARK” at the Estudillo Avenue and the Callan Avenue entrances and one new LED lighted edge sign stating “ENTRY” at the Callan Avenue entrance were installed.
Analysis
Construction is complete. The work was inspected and complies with the contract documents and City standards.
