Owner's Advisory Services for the Town Center East Parking Structure Rehabilitation Project

The City of Santa Maria seeks a consulting firm to serve as Owner's Advisor on the rehabilitation of the City-owned Town Center East Parking Structure in downtown Santa Maria, California. The project is a design-build public works effort focused on structural repair, including concrete, post-tensioning systems, cracking, columns, drainage, and coatings. The advisor will act as an independent extension of City staff, protecting the City's interests in scope, quality, cost, schedule, and risk, without assuming the contractual responsibilities of the design-builder, designer of record, or construction contractor, and without directing their means and methods. The work is organized into eight tasks. Project management and support keeps the effort coordinated against scope, schedule, and budget. Design phase support reviews the design-builder's deliverables, comments, meeting summaries, and project controls documents through the Final Design Documents, advising on constructability, durability and service life, repair methodology, phasing, and parking operations impacts. Construction phase support covers review of safety plans, inspection and quality control records, requests for information, requests for clarification, design change notices, shop drawings, submittals, change order requests, potential claims, and payment applications, along with progress meetings and periodic site observations.
