Repair Parking Lot for Lotts Center

U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Norfolk District is seeking a business capable of designing Modification to Warehouse 31, which includes the Lotts Center, has created the need for additional parking in the area. The parking lot will be on the north side of Building 31 and extend to H Road. It is bounded by 6th Street to the east and the OPS Center parking lot to the west (Bay 31H). The site is partially developed as a gravel parking lot. A large berm is located on the north side of the site and was created during the demolition of Warehouse 30. The berm is located comprised of concrete and brick rubble (estimated at 50% by volume), with fill and topsoil. The berm does not contain hazardous material. The berm section is approximately 9’ high, 45’ across the top and 100’ across the bottom. A geothermal well field exists under the existing gravel parking which must be maintained in the design as well as during construction. Building 31 is considered an occupied building and AT/FP setbacks apply. I Road is currently acting as the entrance to the parking area and will be completely removed by this project. Building 31 is elevated and therefore a handicap ramp will need to be built from the H/C parking spaces up to the exterior walkway of the building. LED lighted are to be installed. Landscaping is required. It is expected that 225+ parking spaces will be created. After construction is complete, the owner, DSCR, will install solar powered emergency call boxes that need to be shown on the plans as N.I.C. and a smoking shelter that is approximately 2 parking spaces in size. The appearance of the parking lot shall match the OPS Center parking lot. Base Management Practices and Low Impact Development shall be implemented as much as possible. Storm water is covered under the existing DLA DSCR permit but the site is over an acre so some permitting may be required. There is a separate design underway to improve H Road and 6th Streets so coordination may be necessary to avoid conflicts.
