California California State University Northridge has awarded a design-build contract to Bomel Construction to erect a five-level, 1,608-space parking garage. The 511,000-sq-ft structure will have spaces for EV charging stations, bicycle and scooter storage, and infrastructure for a photovoltaic system. Because Northridge is considered a high-seismic area, the rebar ties in the columns and beams are increased significantly to handle the additional vertical loads, according to the contractor. The project is valued at $33.4 million. Bomel Construction Co. Inc., 96 Corporate Park, Irvine, 92606. DR#08-00844367.
