<br />AA and Contract Award for Bowers <br />Museum Overflow Parking Lot <br />(Project 06-3000) <br />March 6, 2006 <br />Page 2 <br /> <br />DISCUSSION <br /> <br />In September 2005, the City Council and Redevelopment Agency approved and <br />authorized several actions to facilitate the 30,000 square feet expansion <br />of the Bowers Museum. The parking demand generated by the museum <br />expansion requires supplementing the proposed on-site parking with <br />additional off-site parking. The proposed 94-space parking lot is <br />located at the southeast corner of Main & Buffalo (Exhibit 1). This <br />project provides for the construction of a new parking lot with <br />landscaping, lighting signage and irrigation. Once completed, these <br />improvements will provide the additional parking demand of the museum. <br /> <br />The Notice Inviting Bids was advertised on February 1 and 3, 2006, and <br />bids were opened on February 21, 2006.
