District Operations Center Modernization Project

The District proposes to demolish all 46,000 square feet of existing structures at the District Operations Center and construct approximately 38,271 square feet of new facilities to support the existing Maintenance & Operations, Transportation, Warehouse, and Facilities department functions. The proposed buildings will be constructed along the south property line and parallel to the east property line in an L-shaped configuration. The new Maintenance and Operations department will include new offices, administration spaces, and shop and workspaces for technicians located on the northeast side of the project site. The new Warehouse department will include new offices, administration spaces, and the District print shop located on the east corner of the project site. The Warehouse department will also include a large open warehouse space for bulk product storage, and loading areas for distribution to other District sites. The Transportation department will include a new dispatch office and driver’s room, fleet vehicle and bus maintenance bays, and wash bay located on the south portion of the site. Support and common spaces will be provided for all departments, including a large meeting and training room, break room, and restrooms throughout the facilities. Site improvements will consist of new wet and dry utilities, asphalt and concrete site pavement, landscaping and irrigation, new solar photovoltaic (PV) structures, new fencing and gates, site lighting, and post-construction storm water pollution protection measures. The proposed project also includes two new retention basins on the north and south corners of the project site. The proposed project will include a new bus parking lot, a new staff parking lot, a new white fleet parking lot, and a new visitor parking lot. Electric vehicles (EV) charging spaces will be provided for bus, fleet, and employee vehicles. One driveway will be removed from Mission Avenue. Public access to the District Operations Center will continue to be provided by a driveway on Mission Avenue and staff, bus, and delivery access will be provided by a driveway on Bush Street.
