Green Street Parking Garage Engineering Condition Assessment

The City of Ithaca is requesting proposals for professional engineering services to perform a condition assessment of the Green Street Parking Garage under an RFP due July 28, 2026, with site visits and questions accepted through July 20.

The scope includes document review of original design drawings and historical records; comprehensive onsite structural evaluation of concrete elements (columns, floor slabs, beams, walls, and connections); review of joint sealants and waterproofing systems; limited assessment of architectural and mechanical systems; and generation of a detailed condition assessment report with photographic documentation and cost estimates for recommended repairs. The structure is a seven-level, single-threaded helix reinforced concrete garage containing approximately 460 parking spaces. The report must comply with New York State Title 19 CRR-NY 1203.3 Subsection J.

No set-asides or contracting goals apply for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Businesses, Minority/Women Business Enterprises, or Disadvantaged Business Enterprises. Compensation is structured as payroll costs multiplied by a markup factor covering overhead, costs, and profit, with a not-to-exceed amount for base services. Approved reimbursable expenses and outside services are billed at a 1.0 multiplier of direct costs.

The City anticipates selection by August 10, 2026. Proposals must include three copies containing personnel qualifications, relevant project experience, detailed project approach and scheduling, and billing rates for both base and supplemental work. Previous firms awarded identical or substantially similar contracts within the past five years are WGI, Inc., Elwyn & Palmer Consulting Engineers, and Stantec. The consultant shall propose the project schedule. The City reserves the right to reject any or all proposals and waive any informality or technicality.
