Genesee River between Main Street and Andrews Street in the City of Rochester’s Center City

Riverfront District. The City will grant a deed of easement or a permanent easement to the

successful respondent to this RFP (“Purchaser”) but will retain ownership and maintenance

responsibility for the Plaza, the Plaza foundation and its waterproofing and expansion joints system,

portions of the stair towers, and certain electrical and plumbing systems. Please see the Maintenance

Jurisdiction Table 1 below for more details and Part 10 of this RFP for plan, section and elevation

drawings showing the delineation between Garage and Plaza.

The Purchaser shall be responsible for the maintenance of the Garage including, but not limited

to, the concrete foundations, exterior panels systems, exterior and interior doors and windows,

cathodic protection system garage walls, the stair towers, and mechanical, electrical, plumbing and

fire protection systems. Please see the Maintenance Jurisdiction Table 2 below for more details and

Part 10 of this RFP for plan, section and elevation drawings showing the delineation between Garage

and Plaza. Attachment M to this RFP contains both the Maintenance Jurisdiction tables and

related drawings.

The Charles Carroll Plaza was built in 1969 and is currently undergoing a major $26 million

underlying garage roof slab, replacement of the roof slab membrane waterproofing system,

reconstruction, and revitalization of the riverfront Plaza with upgrades to the riverfront promenade,

public open space, park amenities, and accessibility improvements.

The Garage roof slab and supporting beams of the roof slab act as the structural foundation of the

Plaza and will be referred to as the Plaza foundation. The maintenance jurisdiction for structural,

electrical, mechanical, and plumbing components of the Plaza and Garage are summarized on the

tables below. An attached plan, section and elevation is included to help illustrate the maintenance

limits; see Attachment M.
