Specifications include, but are not limited to: The City of Madison has established a long-range plan for the evaluation and repair of their parking structures in an effort to protect, update, and repair the facilities before deterioration becomes severe. This long-range plan estimates the cost for future repairs, studies, and new parking garages and is updated on an annual basis. This information is incorporated into the City’s Capital Improvement Program. The City of Madison takes a proactive approach to maintaining and protecting their parking structures. This approach consists of annual repairs and upgrades, with major work rotated between the structures to avoid excessive parking loss in one area, although some of the older structures will require substantial repairs annually. Condition evaluation studies are completed on each structure the year prior to the restoration in an effort to have the most up-to-date information regarding repair needs when outlining work for the following year.
