Description/Analysis
IssueDetail
Issue Detail: The Capitol Garage is located directly across from the State Capitol and serves as one of the most visible and heavily utilized public parking facilities in downtown Sacramento. In addition to providing essential parking services, the facility includes ground-floor retail spaces, restaurants, and a coffee shop that contribute to street-level activity, support local businesses, and enhance the overall downtown experience for residents, employees, and visitors.
The existing exterior paint system has reached the end of its useful life, resulting in a worn and dated appearance that detracts from the visual quality of this prominent civic asset. Given the garage's location adjacent to the State Capitol and within a key commercial corridor, maintaining an attractive and well-maintained facility is important to the City's image, economic vitality, and ongoing efforts to create a welcoming environment that encourages investment, supports economic development, and promotes activity throughout the downtown core.
The Capitol Garage plays a critical role in supporting both daytime and evening uses by providing convenient access to government offices, businesses, retail establishments, restaurants, entertainment venues, and special events. As a gateway facility for many visitors, employees, and patrons, its appearance contributes directly to first impressions and the overall user experience.
Approval of the proposed contract will allow for repainting and aesthetic improvements that will protect and extend the life of the structure, improve the user experience, enhance the appearance of the surrounding streetscape, and support the continued success of the retail and restaurant tenants operating within the facility. The project will help ensure that this highly visible public asset reflects the City's commitment to maintaining high-quality infrastructure, supporting economic development, and fostering a vibrant downtown environment during both daytime and evening hours.

EconomicImpacts
Economic Impacts: The recommended contract is expected to create 3.84 (2.44 direct jobs and 1.40 jobs through indirect and induced activities) and create $ 507,193.81 in total economic output ($ 325,124.42 of direct output and another $182,069.39 of output in indirect and induced activities).
The indicated economic impacts are estimates calculated using a calculation tool developed by the Center for Strategic Economic Research (CSER). CSER utilized the IMPLAN input-output model (2009 coefficients) to quantify the economic impacts of a hypothetical $1 million of spending in various construction categories within the City of Sacramento in an average one-year period. Actual impacts could differ significantly from the estimates and neither the City of Sacramento nor CSER shall be held responsible for consequences resulting from such differences.

Rationale for Recommendation: On January 11, 2023, the Department of Public Works issued Request for Qualification (RFQ) No. Q23014541004 for On Call (Various) Trade Opportunity. The purpose of the RFQ was to develop a list of qualified on-call contractors that would be solicited to assist the facilities' staff in delivering projects utilizing a variety of delivery methods, including design build. On May 30, 2023, City Council passed Motion No. 2023-0131 suspending competitive bidding in the best interest of the City to establish a qualified On-Call Contactor Services List for Public Facilities. River City Painting Inc. was included in the list of qualified On-Call Contractors. River City Painting Inc. has the capabilities to prep, prime and paint the facility. Public Works staff utilized the pre-qualified list to solicit a proposal from River City Painting. Staff have reviewed the proposal and support awarding the painting contract for the Capital Garage Painting Project to River City Painting Inc. for an amount not to exceed $519,388. Work is anticipated to begin in August 2026 with completion by October of 2026.
