Recommendation: Adoption of a motion to transfer $I,100,000 from the Economic Development category of the Capital Improvements Plan (CIP) to the Municipal Facilities category of the CIP, in order to complete the required emergency repairs to the Children's Museum of Virginia Parking Garage. Purpose and Need: The Children's Museum of Virginia Parking Garage is a pre-cast concrete garage that was built in 1973. There are numerous serious structural deficiencies in the garage's infrastructure and also major deterioration to the top slab on the third level of the parking deck. Re-inspections of the garage facility have indicated greatly increased deterioration over the last year, therefore, it is necessary that a considerable amount of renovations be made at this time to avoid the need for total replacement of this facility in the future. Bids were received on February 26, 1998 for structural repairs to the columns, beams, etc. and to replace the concrete topping.and joints on the third floor of the Garage as outlined on Attachment A. Construction will begin in March with completion by September 1. This work will be phased in order to keep at least half of the garage open at one time. Financial Impact: The transfer within the ClP is from appropriated and bond funded sources. The project the funds are being transferred from is Fairwood Homes. Alternative funding sources are currently being pursued (Federal and State funding) which have a high likelihood of being received for the Fairwood Project. Given the circumstance, existing funding is the most appropriate alternative for addressing thisemergency need without incurring additional debt or utilizing reserves.
