17^TH Street Parking Garage

The City of Miami Beach, Lincoln Road Mall Parking Garage (G-5), is a parking garage made up of four stories with additional rooftop parking. It is located at 640 17^th Street, Miami Beach, FL.

• Loose metal panels should be anchored or, alternatively, removed
• Repair cracks adjacent to expansion joints. Remove loose materials. Patch spalls and/or inject cracks with epoxy as appropriate
• Repair elevated slab cracks as appropriate. Some may be sealed with caulk, while some may be appropriate for epoxy injection
• Repair beam cracks as appropriate. Some may be sealed with caulk, while some may be appropriate for epoxy injection
• Seal cracks in slabs-on-ground
• Replace expansion joint systems/sealants throughout
• Patch areas of honeycombing which are deep and/or which have exposed reinforcement
• Remove loose pieces of concrete in a few areas of “over pour”

• Opening toward the FPL vault needs to be sealed with fireproofing caulk.
• Elevator cab light circuit must be in emergency power
• Open Knockout must be covered
• Conduits are corroded and need repair
• GFCI receptacle needs repair
• Conduit needs to be supported as per NEC
• Wiring around and inside ticketing booth requires repair
• Broken L-conduit body
• L-Conduit body needs to be closed and the red wire to run inside conduit

The cost associated with the repairs necessary to establish recertification for the Fillmore and the 17^th Street Garage is as follows:

For consideration as a Fiscal Year 2018/19 appropriation:

It is imperative that the facilities receive recertification, without the recertification, Miami-Dade County has the authority to notice the City of Miami Beach to vacate the facilities until the structural deficiencies are remedied. This notice would require an emergency response and negatively impact the operations at each facility.

CONCLUSION:

Administration is seeking direction to identify funding sources in Fiscal Year 2017/18 for all structural, electrical and painting repairs for the Fillmore Miami Beach and structural and electrical repairs for the 17^th Street Garage.

As Administration begins the process of formulating the Fiscal Year 2018/19 budget, Administration is also seeking direction to identify a funding source for Fiscal Year 2018/19 for the 17^th Street Garage waterproofing.
