PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The 528A8-16-807 Repair Parking Lots project is the repair/modification of the existing employee parking lot at the Stratton VA Medical Center (VAMC) in Albany, New York. The employee parking lot is approximately 5.6 acres and is divided into two sections with a total capacity of approximately 800 vehicles. Access is through three gated points with one other access point that is generally used for maintenance activities. The primary reason for the project is that there is a low spot in the parking area that is subject to persistent flooding, which has resulted in damaged vehicles. The flooding has been exacerbated by an ineffective drainage system within the parking lot as well as the City of Albany s combined sewer, which bisects the parking lot, being undersized and unable to remove rainwater during high intensity events. The Scope of Work generally includes: Removal of the existing pavement, drainage infrastructure, lot interior light poles, electric cabling, and access gate mechanisms. Remove an abandoned water line in the parking lot back to the meter vault. Provide temporary parking lot lighting. Re-grade the parking lot. Install new stormwater runoff piping, catch basins, subsurface storage structures and related appurtenances. Install stormwater runoff flow control equipment. Replace two of the three parking gate mechanisms and vehicle sensors in the pavement. Add information screens near the gates. Install the lighting removed in the selective demolition phase to new locations within the parking lot. Install new electric and control cabling. Install new pavement and striping. The project area is the major parking facility for the Albany VAMC staff. The project is phased such that the majority of the parking area will be available during construction. Access to the available parking areas must be maintained at all times.
