The Greater Attleboro Taunton Regional Transit Authority (GATRA) is designing and constructing a new maintenance facility on property it purchased at 2345 and 2347 Cranberry Highway in Wareham, Massachusetts. The new bus facility will include administrative space, operations space, bus spaces for maintenance, and exterior parking and circulation. GATRA has procured the services of an Owner's Project Management (OPM) consultant, referred to as the "OPM," to assist GATRA in project management, design management and construction management activities. GATRA has also procured the services of a Site Engineering consultant to assist GATRA in preparing the existing conditions plan, the proposed site plan, design the septic system, and assist with municipal approvals. GATRA is seeking to enter a contract for the GATRA Wareham Bus Maintenance Facility with the selected consultant that includes the services as summarized below. The selected consultant will provide the necessary services to manage and coordinate the activities required to complete all tasks assigned under the contract for all phases of the project, as deemed appropriate by GATRA and in coordination with the OPM and Site Engineering consultant. The goal of this project is to construct a new GATRA bus maintenance facility by the Summer of 2025 at 2345 and 2347 Cranberry Highway in Wareham. The new facility will be a slab on grade steel metal building that includes administrative space and bus bays. The facility will include: Four (4) bays with a service lane and 2 bays deep; similar to the GATRA facility in Taunton. o Two (2) locker rooms o Eight (8) basic offices o Electric charging for the vehicles will be needed in the facility and outside as well. o Parking for 45 vehicles outside o Electric systems, including solar panels on the roof. The facility will contain areas for storage, diesel and gasoline fueling, washing, maintenance, support, administrative, and management capabilities required to support a fleet of 36 vehicles including 6 buses (no more than 30 feet), 27 vans, and three additional vehicles. All transit vehicle maintenance will be performed indoors. Storage functions will be performed outdoors. The facility will be on town water but will need to have a septic system in the front of the property. The facility's roof will be designed to withstand solar panels. The preliminary construction cost estimate for this project at 100% design is $6.000.000.00. This project has a DBE goal of 7.6%.
