Parking Deck Repairs – Downer Place & Galena Boulevard

As the agency published it

City of Aurora, IL - Public Facilities has issued invitation for bid, solicitation 26-099.

The City of Aurora is initiating the first year of a five‑year comprehensive repair and maintenance program for the 5 E. Downer Place and 43 W. Galena Boulevard parking garages. This initial phase focuses primarily on the second levels of both structures, addressing essential concrete rehabilitation including full‑depth, partial‑depth, vertical, overhead, and scattered concrete repairs. Additional structural work includes joint sealant replacement in select areas and the repair or replacement of damaged connectors. In conjunction with the structural repairs, the project includes important waterproofing improvements. Work will involve recoating existing membrane systems, installing new membrane over repaired or currently unprotected areas, routing and sealing floor cracks, and performing minor plumbing repairs. These upgrades are critical to extending the life of both facilities and preventing further deterioration caused by water intrusion. Following the completion of repairs, all existing striping, ADA markings, directional arrows, and pedestrian walkway indicators will be repainted to restore the current layout. The City is seeking qualified vendors experienced in structural restoration, concrete repair, waterproofing systems, and parking facility rehabilitation to carry out this work with quality and long‑term durability in mind.
