STAFF REPORT
Five Level P..."...... Structure
Previously, the Redevelopment Committee directed staff to explore
concerns about the subject parking structure. The basic focus related to
three (3) issues: (i) security; (ii) landscaping, and; (iii) signage of
the structure.
A.
Security Investiaation Status
Due to the growth of suburban development and the corresponding
decline of highly urbanized inner city core areas, there has been
high attention given to the levels and adequacy of security. Efforts
to revitalize downtown centers, of necessity, include ways to enhance
security for businesses located in and persons working in or Visiting
these areas. Such is the case wi th downtown San Bernardino. A
committee of several organizations has been formed to investigate
alternative solutions and strategies to increase security for the
subject parking structure. Participants on the Committee are
representstives of the following entities: (i) City of San
Bernardino Police Department; (ii) Pacific Savings Building; (iii)
Economic Development Agency; (iv) the Vanir Towers Building; (v) Main
Street, Inc., and; (vi) The Maruko Hotel. Dialogue to accommodate
the needs and concerns of these and other users continues. Reports
will be submitted intermittently as benchmarks of significant
progress occur.
B.
L-ftdseaDina
In pursuing the concept of developing a roof garden for the parking
structure, staff solicited a consultant's opinion to evaluate
probable construction costs. The categories examined included, but
were not limited to, (i) irrigation and drainage; (ii) planting,
lighting, concrete installation and preparation; (iii) decorative
paving; (iv) plant containers, and related items. The estimated cost
of the completed work was, in rounded figures, $393,000 plus a
fifteen-percent (15%) contingency of $59,000 for a total of
$452.000. These figures can probably be reduced and have not been
precisely estimated due to the lack of design and engineering
drawings necessary before the required improvements can be
ascertained and the project financially sized. To achieve this,
staff will solicit the services of a professional to prepare working
and/or construction drawings for the project in order to solicit bids
and determine total actual design and construction costs for the
project.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
C. SilDl System for Parkina Structure
The parking structure is located in the hub of several large
municipal and private organizations servicing and attracting first
time users of the parking accommodations. Directional orientation is
often confusing for individuals unfamiliar with the structure. This
is one of the problems staff has sought to address. Staff has
solicited and received preliminary proposals for the design of an
informational and directional signage system to be installed in the
structure in order to ease pedestrian and vehicle traffic, as well as
elevator usage. The estimated cost for the design should not exceed
$15,000 for consultant design services. To expedite this project,
staff will 'pursue the hiring of a consultant to design the signage
project at a cost not to exceed $15,000.
At the October 16, 1991 Redevelopment Committee meeting, the
Committee discussed the above issues, received and filed items "A"
and "C", respectively, and forwarded item "B" to the Community
Development Commission without a recommendation.
c::> Staff recommends adoption of the form motion.
