Additional Backup Information: The Waller Creek Center Parking Garage stairwells are the primary stairs that are used daily by staff to access Waller Creek Center. They also are the primary emergency exit stairs utilized to exit the garage onto 9th Street during emergencies. These stairs were constructed in the 1980’s and are original to Waller Creek Center. The stairs are heavily corroded, damaged, and in need of replacement. Portions of the stairs have been deemed unsafe for normal use and operations and are currently closed. Southwest Corporation has been selected to remove the existing stairs, install replacement stairs, and install handrails in two stairwell locations of the Waller Creek Parking Garage. To prevent future damage and advanced corrosion, Southwest Corporation will also be enclosing the stairwells on the top floor of the parking garage. The Waller Creek Center Parking Garage is the main parking location for staff that support the critical infrastructure of the utility. Replacement of the garage stairwells is necessary to provide safe egress for utility staff.  Item 5 # 24-4891 Water & Wastewater Commission: July 17, 2024 Council: July 18, 2024 The contract allows 150 calendar days for completion of this project.
