The City of Lowell is gathering information from qualified firms regarding potential solutions for the Ayotte Parking Garage, where reinforced concrete stair systems show significant deterioration including cracking, spalling, and corrosion. This Request for Information (RFI) aims to inform future design and procurement, focusing on durable, low-maintenance approaches that minimise operational disruption. The project's objectives include restoring structural integrity, extending service life, reducing maintenance, improving slip resistance and aesthetics, and ensuring public safety, all while the garage remains operational through phased construction. Respondents are invited to propose various repair methods, from conventional concrete repair and polymer-modified systems to protective surfacing, full stair replacement, or other innovative technologies.
