BACKGROUND: The acquisition of the IOM, LLC. parcel (0.29 of an acre) will complete the Mt. Moriah block acquisition in support of the Parking Garage No.2 Project. The parcel is located at the northwest corner of SW Third Avenue and SW Broadway Street. The site has been used for parking since the building was demolished in 2010. The City previously completed the closing of the Mt. Moriah parcels in September 2022.
FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS:
While using ground penetrating radar (GPR) eight anomalies were discovered on the proposed parking lot site. Geo-Tech has recommended these anomalies be investigated with eight additional borings and testing. The cost of the additional testing is detailed in the attached proposal. The additional funding is needed to complete testing.
Staff recommends approval.
FISCAL IMPACT: The Reserve for Projects account 001-099-999-513-81-99810 is an appropriate use of the project funding in the amount of $10,444. The expense account is 001-020-328-545-69-65010.
