2 City of South Miami Municipal Garage │Parking Garage Condition Assessment
September 27, 2023 │FINAL
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
At the request of City of South Miami (“Owner”), Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. completed a limited
condition assessment of the Municipal Parking Garage, as part of the agreement dated May 23, 2023. The
limited condition assessment site visits were performed on August 29, September 5, and September 13,
2023. The purpose of the condition assessment was to observe the general condition of the parking
structure, identify deficient items, provide repair recommendations and order of magnitude cost for repairs.
The parking garage is constructed of various structural framing systems, including precast concrete and
cast-in-place concrete elements. The property is located at 5829 SW 73rd St, South Miami, Florida with a
single entrance to parking at the ground level on the west side of the garage.
In this report, the elements observed during the condition assessment are categorized into three types of
systems: the primary structural framing system, operational systems, and aesthetic systems. The
observed structural framing system consis ted of the slabs, beams, columns, walls, bearing pads, curbs,
joints, waterproofing, architectural sealants, and parapets. The observed operational systems generally
consisted of the piping, lighting, striping, signage, and safety items. Observed aesthetics systems consisted
of the exterior façade, painting, and general overall appearance. No destructive or intrusive testing was
performed as part of our evaluation.
Deficient items observed during the non-destructive, visual walkthrough survey have been categorized
according to the recommended urgency with which the deficiencies are recommended to be addressed.
Critical Priority items have been determined to compromise the structural integrity of precast double-tee
members and shall be addressed immediately. Priority 1 items have been determined to impose a more
immediate impact on the building and parking deck and are those items that are recommended to be
addressed within the next 6 months. Priority 2 and 3 items include those deficiencies that have less
immediate impact on structural and operations of the building and are therefore recommended to be
addressed after Priority 1, but in the next 24 months. Refer to the Opinion of Probable Cost (“OPC”)
provided in Appendix D for the total cost of all Priorities.
No immediate, life-threatening structural issues were observed in the condition assessment. However,
double tee (DT) flange connections in the ramp form Level 2 to level 3 shall be monitored periodically. The
extent of recommended repairs remained generally consistent throughout the parking garage. Based on
limited, non-destructive, visual observations, the overall performance rating for the City of South Miami
Municipal parking garage is fair.
The details of these findings are discussed further in the main body of this report.

INTRODUCTION
S COPE OF W ORK
At the request of City of South Miami (“Owner”), Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. (Kimley-Horn) has
performed a condition assessment for the City of South Miami Municipal Parking Garage. The objective of
this report is to provide the Owner with a condition assessment report to document the general condition of
the parking and service facilities, identify deficient items, and recommend repairs to maintain and extend
the service life of the structures. Based on our recommendations, opinion of probable repair costs is
provided in Appendix D.
As part of the scope of services, a visual, non-destructive limited condition assessment of the parking deck’s
structural components, waterproofing components, and drainage deficiencies was conducted.
In addition, Kimley-Horn completed the following tasks as part of the on-site assessment:
1. Met with the Client to prepare the condition assessment and restoration scope, who were familiar
with the structures to solicit input related to known maintenance issues.
2. Reviewed limited structural and architectural plans provided by the Client.
Kimley-Horn observed structural framing elements including, precast concrete components and cast-in-
place concrete components. The precast concrete structural framing components included double-tees,
inverted T-beams, columns, and shear walls. The cast-in-place concrete components included slab-on-
grade, topping slabs, and concrete washes . Kimley-Horn observed waterproofing systems including
waterproofing membrane, and joint sealants. Kimley-Horn observed miscellaneous items including
vehicular barrier systems, pipes, and railings. Observations of the exterior façade were conducted from
grade level.
Limited hammer soundings were performed on representative areas of concrete floor systems to identify
delamination. Destructive and/or intrusive testing was not performed as a part of our visit.
Defining structural characteristics and items indicative of overall current conditions along with specific items
requiring attention were documented with photographs and can be found in Appendix C.
A limited review was completed of documents previously provided by the Client. The documents consisted
of original and as-built plans for the parking garage. Kimley-Horn only reviewed the documents to become
familiarized with the parking garage layout. Kimley-Horn did not perform structural calculations, structural
analyses (gravity or lateral) or code reviews of the structures, including accessibility.

RATINGS
A visual, non-destructive condition assessment of the readily accessible structural and waterproo fing
elements was conducted on the parking deck and vehicle service facilities.
The tables in this section contain categories of structural and waterproofing components that were observed
during the on-site limited condition assessment with each element receiving a rating of ‘Good’, ‘Fair’, ‘Poor’,
or ‘N/A’ which represents the median condition of all individual similar elements within that category. Rating
descriptions are defined in Appendix C. Tables are also provided summarizing assessment ratings for
several readily accessible operational and aesthetic elements.
The parking garage was generally found in fair condition, with damaged precast connections, minor cracks
and spalling in concrete members and typical water proofing deficiencies.
More detailed information is provided within the next section elaborating on key observations and findings,
noted with an asterisk (*).

• Double-Tee Connections
Broken and missing flange connection were identified in the ramp from Level 2 to Level 2. Significant
cracking was also observed in some instances on the top side of the double-tee cantilevered flange.
This may be attributed to failed flange connections between the double-tees, which results in high
bounce at the joint and further damage to the structural members around the connection.
Missing Flange Connection Broken Flange Connection

• Water Proofing Traffic Coating
Signs of water intrusion were observed throughout the garage due to inadequate water proofing. The
deck coating on the lower levels is showing signs of deterioration and overtime will lead to water
intrusion into the slab and concrete members if not replaced.
Deck coating Water intrusion – parking level 4
MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS
Other miscellaneous items such as steel corrosion, wheel stop replacement/repair and powerwashing were
observed to be needed. Steel anchors embedded into the concrete deck remain exposed and will lead to
corrosion and concrete delamination over time. Additionally, powerwashing of the parking deck is
recommended as part of the general maintenance of the garage.

RECOMMENDATIONS
Parking decks are exposed to the environment and require diligent upkeep of waterproofing and sealing
systems to maintain structural components in good condition. Anywhere water is intruding or steel is
exposed to the environment should be addressed, as ignoring these items can limit the useful life of the
garage. While operational and aesthetic issues may not directly affect the deck’s life span in the same way
that structural issues can, they should not be ignored solely on that basis. The Owner has a vested interest
in maintaining a user friendly, appealing structure in the same way it has an interest in protecting its parking
investment from the effects of disregard of structural repairs. The recommendations in this report are
primarily structural and waterproofing issues; however, some operational issues are also addressed.
The following repair recommendations have been prioritized according to their impact on the overall
structural and waterproofing systems, operational and aesthetic systems of the parking garage. Priority 1
recommendations are typically more structural in nature and intended to repair / restore items that are now
deficient. Priority 2 and 3 recommendations are intended to assist in protecting the deck from further
deficiencies. A table has been prepared with action items for each priority.
• CRITICAL PRIORITY 1 deficient items may present a life-safety concern if not periodically
monitored and are recommended to be addressed immediately.
• PRIORITY 1 deficient items have a more immediate impact to the functionality of the building
systems and are recommended to be addressed within 6 months. Included are also items
observed that may present a life-safety concern if not periodically monitored.
• PRIORITY 2 and 3 deficient items are intended to assist in protecting the building from further
deficiencies and are recommended to be addressed within 24 months.
Implementation of these recommended repairs can be phased and scheduled around the Owner’s
parking and service program to accommodate patron usage during the repair process. Many of the
recommendations listed below will require specialized design and construction. Specific repair procedures
are not part of this condition assessment report. These recommendations outline items in need of repair
and present limited conceptual procedures. Construction documents should be developed to address
material selection and detailed methods of repairs. A firm with expertise in parking deck repairs should be
retained to design and detail the specialty recommendations provided below. Once restoration
construction documents are prepared, a specialty contractor should be selected to perform the work .

APPENDIX B - LIMITATIONS
Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. endeavors with this report to assist the Owner in the understanding of
the existing conditions of the parking facilit ies in an effort to plan for the repair and maintenance of the
structures. This report is based on the specific observations made and the professional opinion and
experience of Kimley-Horn. Our recommendations do not provide specific repair details or specifications.
The report is not a warranty or guarantee of the items noted. The extent of our evaluation was limited, and
we cannot guarantee that the assessment discovered every possible condition that has or will occur.
Throughout the parking structure’s service life it will be exposed to environmental conditions detrimental to
the structural integrity and the aesthetic and operation system conditions. Kimley -Horn cannot guarantee
further deterioration will not occur over time. However, preventative maintenance performed by the Owner
can help to minimize the long-term repair needs.
This report has been prepared in accordance with the professional standard of care. No other warranties
or guarantees, express or implied, are made or intended. This report has been prepared solely for City of
South Miami for the purpose stated herein and should not be relied upon by any other party for any other
purpose. Specifically, this report may not be used in connection with actual renovation or construction of
any kind. The conclusions in this report are based on the limited investigation described above. Any reliance

APPENDIX C – GUIDELINES AND DEFINITIONS
Rating Guidelines:
The following narrative provides a summary of the rating
guidelines and brief definitions of some items that were observed
in the garage and noted in this report.
Good – rating denotes no life-safety issues, no immediate losses
of strength or performance, including aesthetics, and no short
term changes in performance with regular maintenance and
observation. A structural system is said to be in good condition if
there is minor concrete damage, minimal rust, and no leaks or
leaching. An operational system is said to be in good condition if
the system is in good working order with minor cleaning or routine
maintenance required.
Fair – rating denotes no life-safety issues and functional
performance but repairs are needed to maintain the current level
of service. There are some aesthetic issues and inconveniences
to patrons. Without repairs, the deterioration will continue to
accelerate. Fair condition is assigned to the structural system if
moderate damage, rust, leaks, or leaching is found in several
locations or if severe damage is found in a few locations.
Poor – rating denotes obvious problems, even to the casual
observer, that without immediate remediation will result in further
loss of structural member capacity. This condition can produce
noticeable deflections in members, cause loose concrete to spall
away, and presents the possibility of an unsafe condition to
vehicles and/or pedestrians in the near future. The system may
still be functioning at this state but repair costs will increase rapidly
with the amount of time that passes before the item is corrected.
The structural system is considered poor if severe damage is
found in several locations. A poor assessment is assigned to any
operational system that requires replacement.
N/A – Not Applicable to this garage. While typically included as a
part of our normal condition assessment, this particular category
of items was not originally installed in this garage or was not part
of the scope of this evaluation.

Definitions:
Figure 1: Failing Concrete Patch
Figure 2: Concrete Delamination
Figure 3: Concrete Spall
The photographs provided in Appendix C are sample
representative photographs of each definition.
1. Patches – Repairs to concrete that require a filler material,
usually grout or repair mortar. Patches may be required due to
the following causes: reinforcing steel corrosion, concrete
spalling, concrete delaminations, failing grout pockets, or
external forces, such as automobile collisions. See Figure 1.
2. Delamination – A delamination of concrete occurs when
bleed (excess) water rises in concrete to just below the concrete
surface as the concrete is curing. This process leaves a thin
layer of concrete that separates from the concrete body.
Delaminations are detectable by sounding the suspected
concrete with a metal object, such as a chain or hammer, and
listening for the distinctive dead/hollow sound produced. The
sounding instrument will produce a crisp metal ring when
sounding over solid concrete. See Figure 2.
3. Spall – A spall is generally a piece of concrete that separates
from the main body of the concrete member. Examples include
a grout patch that has shrunken away from its pocket or a corner
of a member that has broken off and is in the process of falling
away or has fallen away already. See Figure 3.

Figure 4: Fine Crack
Figure 5: Medium Crack
Figure 6: Wide Crack
Figure 7: Leaking and Leaching Concrete
4. Cracking – Cracks are qualitatively assigned values of Fine
(F), Medium (M) or Wide (W). A fine crack is a hairline crack
less than 0.01” thick and can sometimes be very hard to see. A
medium crack is in between 0.01” and 1/32” wide and a wide
crack is anything greater than 1/32” wide. Cracks are
qualitatively rated according to their dominant characteristics.
See Figure 4, Figure 5, and Figure 6.
5. Leaking – Leaking is determined by any observable sign of
fluid flow through a crack or joint. See Figure 7.
6. Leaching – Leaching occurs when water flows through a
crack, thereby dissolving away the components of the concrete,
mainly calcium, and depositing it in the form of a whitish film or
stalactite on the surface. The whitish film is also called
efflorescence. See Figure 7.

September 27, 2023 │FINAL
Figure 8: Ponding Water
Figure 9: Structural Steel Rust and Scaling
7. Ponding – Ponding water is the settling of water in low areas
where it has no way to drain. This standing water not only
presents a pedestrian safety hazard, but as water penetrates the
concrete the deterioration mechanism is accelerated. See
Figure 8.
8. Rust and Scaling – Rust occurs when steel is oxidized. Air,
water, and chlorides are some agents that typically cause steel
to rust. Scaling is a more advanced condition of rust and occurs
when rust is deeper than the surface and flakes off in pieces or
‘scales’. See Figure 9.
