ADVERTISEMENT FOR BIDS
Subject to conditions prescribed by the University of California, Los Angeles, sealed bids for a lump sum
contract from prequalified bidders are invited for the following work:
PS-18 SWITZER PLAZA STABILIZATION
Project Number 906034.01
DESCRIPTION OF WORK: The University proposes to stabilize the concrete deck that separates Switzer
Plaza from the north section (Level A) of Parking Structure 18 (PS-18)), which has deteriorated due
to water intrusion caused by waterproofing system failures. PS-18 is a 484,000 square foot
structure constructed in 1977, consisting of a north subterranean parking section beneath Switzer
Plaza and a south parking section adjacent to Le Conte Avenue. The project area totals 37,730 gsf
and impacts 14 parking bays. Upon completion of this stabilization project, further investigations
will assess the water damage and inform a permanent solution. A separate project will then
address structural repairs.
The scope of work includes the installation of a temporary, horizontal steel truss reinforcement
system to transfer Switzer Plaza’s structural loads to Level A of PS-18 and stabilize the structure for
future repairs.
The estimated construction cost is $4,236,000.
