56 <br /> Project ID 23GOT_CD2 Project Transit Project Other Bus <br /> Category Infrastructure Subcategory Service <br /> Project Description Project <br /> NOTE: Project sheet to be updated with cost estimate Project Title Regional Fleet and Facilities <br /> from 15% schematic design, in progress as a part of the Study Implementation - Nelson <br /> Fleet and Facilities Study. The project sheet will request Road <br /> funding for phases of construction required to operate Agency GoTriangle <br /> services identified in the Transit Plan. <br /> FY24 Costs $500,000 <br /> The ongoing fleet and facilities study is evaluating con- <br /> straints and needs for maintenance, storage, fueling, <br /> and servicing capacity as well as work-flow efficiency at FY25 Programmed $525,000 <br /> the GoTriangle Nelson Road bus operations and mainte- Costs <br /> nance facility. The outcome of this study will include site <br /> selection, schematic design, and cost estimates for a new Start Date July 2023 <br /> and/or expanded facility. The study includes a regional <br /> coordination element to identify opportunities for shared <br /> facilities for vehicle storage, servicing, and/or repairs. Theo <br /> study has identified onsite expansion and renovation of <br /> the current Nelson Road facility as the most cost effective <br /> option to address current needs and provide opportunity <br /> to address future fleet needs over the course of the useful <br /> life of the renovated facility (40+ years). The completed <br /> study will include phases and associated costs of han- <br /> dling the fleet required to operate the services identified <br /> in the Bus Plan. <br /> The GoTriangle Operations and Maintenance Facility at <br /> 5201 Nelson Rd, Morrisville, NC was originally construct- <br /> ed in 1998. In 2006, the facility was updated to add <br /> space for administrative functions. GoTriangle is currently <br /> operating near capacity of the existing facility. GoTrian- <br /> gle's Regional Fleet and Facilities Study recommends <br /> the design, renovation, and expansion of their Nelson <br /> Road Operations and Maintenance Facility. This capital <br /> improvement will add the needed capacity required to <br /> accommodate GoTriangle's projected fixed-route fleet of <br /> 120 buses, including vehicles needed for operations in <br /> Wake, Orange and Durham Counties, through 2050. The <br /> renovation and expansion will also include updates to <br /> better accommodate the facility's administrative func- <br /> tionality. The Regional Fleet and Facilities study has also <br /> projected the need to relocate GoTriangle's paratransit <br /> maintenance and servicing to a new facility to reach full <br /> build-out, the funding for which is not included in this <br /> project's design and construction allocation. Facility costs <br /> to update the Nelson Road facility will be shared across <br /> GoTriangle's service areas. <br /> DRAFT <br /> FEBRUARY 15, 2023 <br />
