On March 9, 2020, the Board of County Commissioners created the Lincoln Community Health Center Parking Lot Expansion Project account and authorized the execution of a contract with Surface 678 (S678) to provide Engineering services for this project. The scope of work included demolition of existing lawn area to provide space for construction of an expanded parking lot, minor grading improvements, perimeter fence installation, storm drainage installation, and landscape plantings in and surrounding the parking lot. There are offsite drainage improvements that will cross Fayetteville Street to the west of the project site and will include storm drainpipe installation within the right-of-way of Fayetteville Street and along Linwood Avenue.
On January 22, 2024, the Board of County Commissioners approved a construction contract for the Lincoln Community Health Center Parking Lot Expansion Project account and authorized the execution of a contract with WC Construction (WCC) to provide construction services for $1,057,100.00 for this project. The project required storm piping to be installed across Fayetteville St. along Linwood Avenue to allow the appropriate drainage from the site. This amendment will allow the contracting team to address unforeseen conditions and conflicts between storm piping, existing utilities and rock encountered resulting from the depth and necessary layout of proposed installation of the offsite storm utility improvements. This work is required for the project to obtain a Certificate of Compliance at its completion. Funding for this amendment will be deposited in the Capital Project account
The new parking addition is complete, and Lincoln is providing services to an additional 2,400 clients, which requires more than 30 new staff. Additional grants over time have added approximately 50 people to the staff and they have been parking on Massey, Spaulding, Linwood, and Merrick Streets. The expanded parking lot has helped alleviate complaints and provided security for staff.
Alignment with Strategic Plan: This project aligns with Goal 5 by providing more efficient service delivery and better customer service through the expansion of the parking lot at this location.
