Explanation

BACKGROUND: This ordinance authorizes the Public Service Director to enter into a professional services contract with DLZ company for design modifications for the new fleet maintenance facility for the Fleet Management Division.

Originally, the Fleet Management Division planned to construct the new maintenance facility at the Public Service Complex at East 25th Avenue and received bids for the construction in mid-1999. Due to neighborhood opposition, the facility was not constructed at the East 25th Avenue location. These plans must now be modified and updated.

Ordinance 0933-2005 passed Council on June 13, 2005, authorizing the purchase of 27 acres of property at 4275 Groves Road in the amount of $775,000.00 as a location for the new fleet maintenance facility. In addition, a public meeting with the Mid East Area Community Collaborative (MACC) was held on Wednesday, June 29, 2005, to discuss the proposed fleet maintenance facility as well as a Transportation Division outpost facility.

The existing maintenance facility at 423 Short Street was originally constructed as a vehicle storage building for refuse collection vehicles and retrofitted in the early 1970's for repairing vehicles and administrative offices. The existing facility is spatially inadequate to handle the maintenance of a large and modern City fleet. The design and construction of a new facility will provide a building specifically designed for fleet maintenance operations and will be large enough to consolidate several maintenance garages (the 1940's era fire vehicle maintenance facility at 270 Greenlawn Avenue, 515 Short Street, 475 Short Street, and other garages) at a centralized location. Vacating the Short Street location will present opportunities for future riverfront and/or Brewery District development. The new maintenance facility is estimated to be 130,000 square feet, large enough to accommodate all manner of Fire, Police, Refuse Collection and Tr...
