The Department of State (DOS) on the Charleston Regional Center (CRC) in Charleston, South Carolina is in need of additional parking. In order to fulfill this need, a new seven level parking structure will be designed and constructed. The structure will have a gross floor area of 430,752 square feet (SF) and parking spaces for 1,326 vehicles. The parking structure will be conventional precast concrete double tee construction. The precast structure will have a single central ramp accessing the upper levels. Three stair wells will serve the upper floors along with two elevators in each of the stair wells. The exterior will have brick veneer cast into the exterior panels to match the existing structures at the CRC. The new structure will also require tie-ins to local utilities. New landscaping will also be installed surrounding the structure. To facilitate the construction of the parking structure the existing parking lot will require temporary relocation to another area on the campus.

The following design services by the Contractor will be required at a minimum:
1. Geotechnical engineering design services to determine the required foundation system.
2. Structural engineering services for the foundation design of the parking structure, as well as seismic and wind requirements for the superstructure.
3. Civil engineering and landscape architectural design services to integrate the parking structure with the existing landscape and surface parking areas.
4. Electrical and lighting engineering, life safety engineering, communications and security design as required by Diplomatic Security.
5. Vertical transportation engineering.
6. Fire protection engineering.
7. Storm water drainage engineering on the upper levels as well as the ground level.
8. Signage, vehicle space striping, environmental graphics and way-finding design complementing the existing CRC
