In July 2003, the Chief structural Plans Examiner Engineer from the Building Department
approved the repair method after the test repairs performed as desired. The need of a new
waterproofing system at the roof level to preserve the integrity of the structure and prevent
additional spalling was also observed by contractors visiting the site and confirmed by
maintenance personnel.
Invitation to Bid No. 67-02/03 was issued on August 26, 2003, with an opening date of
October 14,2003. A non-mandatory pre-bid conference and site inspection was held on
September 17, 2003. BidNet issued bid notices to 37 prospective bidders, resulting in 27
vendors requesting bid packages, which resulted in the receipt of five (5) bids.
The work specified in this bid consists of furnishing all materials, labor, equipment,
supervision, mobilization, overhead & profit required to provide concrete restoration and
repairs to the 17th Street Parking Garage including the waterproofing. There will be 3
different types of repairs:
Cracks in beams: Repairs to small cracks generally in the mid-span of the joists at all levels
of the garage. All of these cracks need to be repaired as per the manufacturer
recommendations (Sika or equal).
Spalling repairs: Repairs are needed throughout the parking facility. Spalls and poorly
repaired concrete areas require properly repaired sections of concrete. A proper repair
requires removal of existing concrete, cleaning of corroded reinforcing steel, and
replacement with a Polymer modified cementitious patching material selected to be
compatible with the surrounding concrete and with its intended use or exposure.
Waterproofing: Waterproofing needed on the roof level of the parking garage. The
waterproofing has lost its integrity and needs to be replaced.
The Contract Documents included in the bid, specify that the work for the Project is to be
substantially completed within 180 calendar days from the issuance of the second notice to
proceed, and completed and ready for final payment within 30 calendar days from the date

that Florida Lemark Corporation is the lowest and best bidder.
