SUMMARY
The Watkins Parking Garage is located at 22625 Mission Blvd, directly across from Hayward City Hall. The Watkins Garage is utilized by patrons of the 21st Century Library and Learning Center, Downtown businesses, city employees, and those conducting business at Hayward City Hall. Originally constructed as a two-level parking structure when it was built in 1997, this garage had a third-level parking deck added in 2000. This parking facility needs a series of capital repairs that have developed over the past 25 years of public use. After identifying failing concrete infrastructure and deteriorating stair treads in the B St stairwell, Facilities Management contracted with a structural engineer to perform a structural and seismic assessment of the entire parking garage facility. The engineer’s structural assessment found three priority repair areas that need urgent repairs. The areas to be addressed include the B St. stairwell, the Watkins St. stairwell, and a failing expansion joint on the second-level parking deck. The proposed repair scope includes a combination of structural and cosmetic repairs that will be combined into a single project to resolve all the identified issues.
