TO: Mayor Philip Levine and Members of theC4ty Commission
FROM: Jimmy L. Morales, City Manag
DATE: August 7, 2017
SUBJECT: Garage Index Results for FY 2016/17 Quarter 3
The purpose of this Letter to Commission is to communicate the results of the newly
developed Garage Index from FY 2016/17 Quarter 3 (Apriil 1, 2017 to June 30, 2017).
Background
The Miami Beach Garage Index is an objective measurement of performance ranging from
1.0 (Very Well Maintained) to 6.0 (Not Maintained) and includes assessments for cleanliness
and interior/exterior appearance of the parking area, stairwells, and elevators. Criteria for
each area are listed below:
Cleanliness Parking Area / Stairwells/ Elevators
• No trash on ground
• No graffiti on walls
• Odor Free
• Garbage Cans well-maintained
• No organic material (vomit/sand/clobwebs)
Appearance Parking Area / Stairwells / Elevators.
• Signage well-maintained
• Lighting Sufficient
• No damage (leaks/rust/concrete sipalling) and painted areas crisp
• Pavement stain free
• Ticket burster/payment station/exit verifier in good working condition
or stairwell doors/railings or elevator doors/buttons
Appearance / Cleanliness Exterior
• Planters/grassy areas/sidewalk entrance well maintained
• Graffiti free
• No unpleasant odor
• No trash
• Signage clean and useable
The results of the assessments are used to monitor the impacts of recently implemented
initiatives to target areas for future improvements, and assure the quality of services.
Quarterly sample sizes are set to ensure no greater than ± 5.0 percentage point sampling
error given the 95% confidence level.
Summary of the Garage Index Results FY 2016/17 Quarter 3
Overall, the City Garage index in FY 2016/17 Quarter 3 was a 2.19, with 65.7% of
assessments scoring a 2.0 or better. Majority of scores have improved when compared to
the prior quarter, with overall and percent meeting target improving 6% and 10%
respectively.
Areas of Focus
Appearance Interior — Overall garage interior appearance improved at 2.39 with
58.5% of assessments meeting the target. Both parking and stairwell areas
improved in many garages, a 12.0% and 8.0% improvement respectively, with the
percent meeting target in these areas improving by 16.9% and 13.5% as well.
Parking area assessments yielded the lowest score at 2.46 and 51.5% of
assessments meeting target due to pavement stains in the parking area; only 10.2%
of assessments were stain free, although this is a significant improvement from the
average of 2.2% the prior quarter. This continues to be a very challenging factor to
address as traditional pressure cleaning techniques do not address the oil stains
from cars, and the City may have to reevaluate whether the current standard is
realistic. The City will be reviewing other non -City garages in the region to
reevaluate this standard. The City's Parking Department and Property Management
Division are pursuing alternative coatings for garage decks. The goal is to have a
more resilient surface coating that returns to its original luster with low maintenance.
Cleanliness — Overall garage cleanliness improved to 1.98, a 5.0% improvement
from the prior quarter., with 72.2% of assessments meeting the target. Cleanliness
improved in the parking area by 14.0%, with decreased trash on the ground at
45.7%, a 15.4% improvement from prior quarter. As of June1, an additional staff
member was added seven (7) days per week from 11 pm — 6am at the 7tH 12tH and
13th street garages to address cleanliness issues throughout the garages. Trash and
organic material appear to be the primary issue on the weekend during late night
hours.
Exterior Appearance — Exterior appearance of the parking garages remained stable
when compared to the same quarter in the prior FY at 2.09 with 67.7% meeting the
target. This is a 3% decline when compared to the same quarter in the prior FY.
Graffiti and trash on the exterior of the garage appear to be the issues, with trash
around the exterior at all garages. United Services janitorial contractor has been
more actively involved with trash removal in the plant beds and exterior greenspaces
surrounding the garages. Planters/grassy areas improved by 11.3% when compared
to the prior quarter.
