Parking Deck Repairs – Downer Place & Galena Boulevard

The City of Aurora is soliciting bids for 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 phase focuses on the second levels of both structures and includes extensive concrete rehabilitation, such as full-depth, partial-depth, vertical, and overhead repairs. The scope also encompasses critical waterproofing improvements, including the installation and recoating of membrane systems, floor crack sealing, and minor plumbing repairs. To conclude the project, all striping, ADA markings, and pedestrian indicators will be repainted. The contract will be awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, with a local bidder preference policy in place. Qualified vendors must submit their bids electronically via the OpenGov system by November 23, 2026. Required submissions include a bid deposit of at least 10 percent of the total bid, a contractor's qualification statement, a subcontractor list, and a proposed phasing plan with a preliminary construction schedule. Successful bidders must execute the contract within ten days of the award notice and provide performance and payment bonds for 100 percent of the contract sum. The project requires strict adherence to manufacturer specifications, building codes, and safety standards, including NFPA and ANSI regulations. Payment is processed through applications for payment submitted to the architect, accompanied by mechanics lien waivers on Chicago Title and Trust forms.
