PROJECT DESCRIPTION/SCOPE OF WORK: The University of Connecticut owns two precast concrete parking garages at the Storrs Campus. The North Garage is a five-level structure constructed in 1997. The South Garage is a six-level structure constructed in 2000. Access to the South Garage is provided at the ground level and at the fifth level. The University commissioned a condition assessment and structural evaluation for each garage, which concluded that, while the structures are both in good condition, certain repairs were recommended. The University has utilized a phased approach to completing the repairs. This project compromises the third phase of the repairs and will focus primarily on the lower and mid-levels of each of the two garages at the Storrs Campus. Scope of Work: Repairs that will be required as part of this phase include the following: https://nam10.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fupdc.uconn.edu%2Fcontractors-working-at-uconn%2F&data=04%7C01%7Clynn.lesniak%40uconn.edu%7C366341d7f67b45ba762108d88cb2ccc8%7C17f1a87e2a254eaab9df9d439034b080%7C0%7C0%7C637414046845789899%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C1000&sdata=6GGNfwAaJMlAeApt8AoXoGNG9EAc7j4n8Rvhpk61ymk%3D&reserved=0 https://nam10.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fehs.uconn.edu%2Fehs-covid-resources%2F&data=04%7C01%7Clynn.lesniak%40uconn.edu%7C366341d7f67b45ba762108d88cb2ccc8%7C17f1a87e2a254eaab9df9d439034b080%7C0%7C0%7C637414046845789899%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C1000&sdata=2r7H%2FWhuap78K5SPD4YWn7KiGOIYTgyKjWzroBfTt4E%3D&reserved=0 UConn/CPFP Invitation to Bid Form, November 2022 Page 3 of 5 • Replacement of joint sealants that have reached the end of their service life to include removal of existing sealants, cleaning of adjacent surfaces, preparation of adjacent surfaces, and installation of new sealants. • Repair of deteriorated or damaged concrete on floors, beams, columns, walls, curbs, and stairs to include removal of deteriorated or damaged, concrete, preparation of surfaces, and installation of concrete patch. • Repair and/or sealing of cracks using epoxy injection or other specified techniques. • Repair or replacement of shear connectors. • Miscellaneous cleaning and repairs of drainage system.
