New_London_90%_CD_03-03-26_Timothy_Tracy.pdf

This is a conceptual design document prepared by Timothy Tracy for the City of New London, Connecticut, related to the Water Street Parking Garage Expansion Project. The document outlines a Construction Manager-at-Risk (CMR) delivery method for expanding the existing Water Street Garage, which currently accommodates approximately 1,000 parking spaces, by adding roughly 250 net new spaces. The project is driven by the opening of the new Coast Guard Museum, expected to attract over 300,000 annual visitors starting in August 2027. Construction is anticipated to commence in summer 2027 with completion targeted for 12 to 18 months thereafter, ensuring the expanded facility becomes operational following the museum's opening. The design documentation supports the city's infrastructure planning to accommodate anticipated parking demand generated by the museum and associated waterfront development activity.

The file represents preliminary design and planning work at the 90 percent completion stage, establishing the baseline scope, schedule, and conceptual approach for the parking expansion initiative. Pricing, detailed construction costs, funding sources, and specific contract terms are not detailed in this planning document. The project reflects the City of New London's strategic investment in municipal infrastructure to support major economic development, with the expanded parking facility serving as a critical component of the city's readiness to manage visitor traffic and parking needs associated with the significant Coast Guard Museum development initiative.
