The fleet and facilities study evaluated constraints and needs for maintenance, storage, fueling and <br /> servicing capacity as well as work-flow efficiency at the GoTriangle Nelson Road bus operations and maintenance facility. <br /> The outcome of this study will include site selection, schematic design, and cost estimates for a new and/or expanded <br /> facility.The study included a regional coordination element to identify opportunities for shared facilities for vehicle <br /> storage, servicing and/or repairs.The study has identified onsite expansion and renovation of the current Nelson Road <br /> facility as the most cost-effective option to address current needs and provide opportunity to address future fleet needs <br /> over the course of the useful life of the renovated facility:40+years.The completed study will include phases and <br /> associated costs of handling the fleet required to operate the services identified in the Bus Plan. <br /> Please detail project justification <br /> The GoTriangle Operations and Maintenance Facility at 5201 Nelson Rd. Morrisville, NC was originally constructed in <br /> 1998. In 2006,the facility was updated to add <br /> space for administrative functions. GoTriangle is currently operating near capacity of the existing facility. GoTriangle's <br /> Regional Fleet and Facilities Study recommends the design, renovation, and expansion of their Nelson Road Operations <br /> and Maintenance Facility.This capital improvement will add the needed capacity required to accommodate GoTriangle's <br /> projected fixed-route fleet of 120 buses, including vehicles needed for operations in Wake, Orange,and Durham Counties, <br /> through 2050.The renovation and expansion will also include updates to better accommodate the facility's <br /> administrative functionality.The Regional Fleet and Facilities study has also projected the need to relocate GoTriangle's <br /> paratransit maintenance and servicing to a new facility to reach full build-out,the funding for which is not included in this <br /> project's design and construction allocation. Facility costs to update the Nelson Road facility will be shared across <br /> GoTriangle's service areas. <br /> Phase Fiscal Quarter and Fiscal Year Fiscal Quarter and <br /> Planning <br /> Design FY23 Q4 FY25 Q4 <br /> Construction FY26 Q1 FY28Q4 <br /> Equipment <br /> Land - Right of Way <br /> Other <br /> Project Goal <br /> Implementation Matrics <br /> 52 <br />
