The project includes a combination of new construction and renovation of existing space. The Authority will require phased construction for this project; see the WATA OMF Sequencing Considerations. The facility was originally constructed in 2003 as a Penske truck maintenance and rental facility. WATA purchased the existing facility on October 1, 2020, utilizing funds from federal, state, and local sources. There are two buildings on the site. The main building includes about 5,000 square feet of office area and 10,200 feet of maintenance/storage area, which includes three maintenance bays and an indoor vehicle wash bay. It is a twostory pre-engineered metal-framed structure enclosed with ribbed metal panels, sandwiching batt insulation pillows. The roof consists of a sloped standing-seam metal panel roof system. A 2,130 square foot outbuilding next to the fuel pumps is currently used as an operator training space and driver lounge. The existing facility includes diesel and gasoline fueling pumps with underground storage tanks, as well as a Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) fueling station. The remainder of the site is mostly paved and used for parking or outside storage. This invitation for bid is issued for construction that includes a combination of new construction and renovationof existing space. Renovations to the main building include expansion of the maintenance area to the north side of the existing bays to accommodate longer buses in WATA’s fleet. The existing maintenance bays will be renovated to improve functionality and provide additional storage and office space for maintenance employees. The administrative areas will be expanded to house the current and future needs of WATA’s operators, supervisors, and administrative staff. Existing areas will be reconfigured. New drivers’ areas, locker room facilities, staff accommodation, and conference rooms will be provided. A variety of multi-purpose rooms are programmed for training and public meetings, with the intent of those spaces being accessible to the public. Elements of the renovated and expansion spaces will include operations spaces including dispatching functions and supervisor offices; maintenance storage and machine shop spaces; records storage and IT infrastructure spaces; public meeting/multipurpose spaces, and administrative office spaces. The existing outbuilding will be demolished, and a new outbuilding will be constructed for the vehicle wash, money room, and fuel attendant area. The existing diesel and gasoline fueling area will be removed, including the underground storage tanks, and replaced with new fueling equipment and aboveground fuel tanks. This project does not include changes to the existing CNG fueling equipment. This project includes improvements to the employee/visitor parking lot at the site entrance, and minor changes to the asphalt storage lot in the western portion of the site, along with construction of an open storage canopy in the parking lot. WATA operations, storage, and vehicle maintenance activities will continue on site throughout the construction period. The Authority will require phased construction for this project to enable essential functions to take place in a safe manner.
