(c) Programs served, enrollment data, projected enrollments:

The work completed under this authority addressed maintenance and replacement needs for existing surface parking facilities, and did not significantly change the number or location of existing parking spaces.

 

(d) Space Utilization Data:

MSU maintains 5376 total parking spaces for use by students, faculty, staff, and visitors. Existing parking facilities are approximately 90-92% full during heaviest use which accommodates some additional surge capacity for events. MSU sells approximately 7000-8000 parking decals each year, which includes users with multiple vehicles, replacement decals, etc.

 

(e) Projected use for available residual space:

(Not applicable to this request)

 

(f) Projected O&M Costs and proposed funding sources:

O&M costs for all surface parking facilities are fully borne by the Parking Operations Account. New and replacement surface parking facilities are designed to achieve a 40 year useful life, with proper periodic maintenance, which includes annual re-striping, five-year re-coating, and 20-year re-surfacing (two full cycles).
