Addition to a pre-engineered storage facility in Castle Rock, Colorado. Conceptual plans call for the addition of a pre-engineered storage facility.

Funding is requested to expand the current salt/sand shed located at 675 Justice Way. The expansion will be used to stockpile the salt/sand mix used in the Snow and Ice Control Program. Additional funds are requested in the future to construct a smaller shed immediately adjacent to the existing shed to store the salt mix used downtown and in icebreaking operations. The present storage capacity of the shed has in recent years been insufficient to store all the material needed for winter plowing and ice mitigation operations, forcing the Town to purchase additional material when pricing is at the highest. Being able to stockpile sufficient material for the entire season would allow for the entire purchase to be made when pricing and demand is at its lowest. In addition to the cost savings, as the 2019-2020 season demonstrated, when demand is at its highest distributors will begin an allocation process that provides some material but not allow for entire order fulfillment because nearly all municipalities are asking for material with limited ability to supply it. A smaller shed (96' x 50') is also requested with construction in five years as the need for the separation of the two salt piles becomes necessary. The smaller shed would be used to store the salt mix for downtown and ice mitigation. The expected capacity of this shed would accommodate 1,500 tons of salt mix and is expected to be sufficient for downtown operations and more than doubles the current capacity for ice litigation. This is enough material to carry the Town through a season for the foreseeable future at current application rates and accommodate Town growth to roughly 1,800 lane miles. As January 19, 2023, this project is currently in the FY 2023-2027 CIP. Funding for this project is allotted in the city's capital improvement plan for construction FY 2026. A firm timeline has not been established; however, construction is scheduled for Fiscal Year 2026. *Project information has been obtained through a public capital improvement plan (CIP). A CIP is a financial schedule for short- and long-range projects which is updated regularly. Information listed in the CIP often evolves based on funding availability and the project details, including timeline and value, are subject to change.
