Request for Board Action:

Agenda Text

The Board is requested to approve changing the title of the current Ellis Road Fleet Maintenance Facility Capital Project (4730DC164) to the Fleet Maintenance Facility Capital Project, as well authorize the County Manager to execute contracts with HH Architecture to provide architectural services and Samet Corporation to provide Construction Manager at Risk (CMAR) preconstruction services for the Office of Emergency Services and General Services Fleet Maintenance Facility. HH Architectures contract is $440,700.00 plus reimbursables and contingency fees not to exceed the total budget of $462,735.00 (See attachment 1, Page 6); Samet Corporations contract is for a fee of $99,824.00 (See attachment 2, Page 3). The funding is available in the current capital project budget.

 

Project

Current Budget

Fleet Maintenance Facility

$1,000,000.00

TOTAL

$1,000,000.00

 

The project involves renovating and upfitting an existing warehouse facility to suit the needs of the County. The new facility will allow the Office of Emergency Services (OES) to continue maintenance activities for their ambulance and support vehicles, and administration vehicle fleet.  In addition, if space is permitted, this property will provide General Services a facility that will be able to provide maintenance for County vehicles across all departments. Currently, County departments use a variety of automotive service centers across the county. Bringing these services in-house will have many benefits including cost efficiency, improved compliance, increased reliability, optimized performance, better planning, and a positive environmental impact.

The need for this facility is urgent as the current OES Fleet Maintenance Facility needs to be vacated in December 2025 as it will be demolished for railroad construction. 

 

Alignment with Strategic Plan: The implementation of this project aligns with our strategic goal: Safe & Resilient Community for allowing us to maintain our fleet of emergency vehicles that provide critical services to our residents.

 

Resource Persons: Peri Manns, ASLA, Deputy Director of Engineering & Environmental Services.  Dan Nosbusch, Project Manager, Engineering & Environmental Services.
