City of Tampa Garage Assessment Program

Future-facing strategy

Project Facts

Location Tampa, Florida

Overview

Our team conducted thorough assessments of ten parking structures for the City of Tampa, identifying critical maintenance needs and potential safety concerns. With the development of a comprehensive ten-year Capital Asset Management Plan (CAMP), our findings and recommendations will serve as a tool for the city in prioritizing repairs, planning funding, and preparing annual maintenance contracts, ensuring the long-term integrity and safety of the parking facilities.

About the Project

The assessments included visual site observations to identify structural and waterproofing items in need of repair as well as concrete material testing. A general review of the mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems was also performed. Based on our visual observations, the general condition of each garage was assessed as good or fair. Our recommendations for maintenance repairs were prioritized according to the need of each garage in the following categories: Immediate Life Safety Repairs, High Priority Repairs, Medium Priority Repairs, and Low Priority Repairs. Our assessments identified potentially unsafe conditions of which the City was unaware. Shoring and stabilization of individual structural components were performed until the permanent repairs could be made.
