Roseville Maintenance Facility Report Needs Analysis 102617.13 The typical size of Maintenance Facilities varies by the size of the city and the services offered by the Public Works and Parks & Recreation Departments. It is unique among city buildings because of the large vehicles it must accommodate, special use workshop areas, and seasonal storage. The size of a maintenance facility can be determined by: • How much equipment is stored • What operations and services are provided • How many people are employed by the department, including office and field staff Program The following are descriptions of primary program spaces: • Yard: The largest programmatic space of a Maintenance Facility is the Yard, an outdoor flat storage area for stowing equipment, sand, salt, rock, trailers, dumpsters, totes, and spoils. These materials remain on site for efficient access. Typically, the materials are stored in covered storage bins to prevent water from washing them away or freezing making them inaccessible. • Vehicle Storage: The largest indoor space is devoted to Vehicle Storage. It stores large equipment and vehicles. The covered and conditioned space protects and lengthens the life of expensive maintenance vehicles. • Wash Bay: A small bay for hand washing vehicles, an essential task during winter months for removing salt from plows. Modern wash bays are sometimes automated drive thru bays for speed and convenience. • Repair Bay: A work area with equipment to lift vehicles for repairs, tire and oil changes. It includes a small workshop on the side for welding or other necessary repairs. • Meter Shop: A workshop for testing and repairing meters. • Sign Shop: A workshop for producing street and park signs for the City. It includes several computer workspaces for design. • Storage: Every corner and edge of the Vehicle Storage is packed with additional storage for small equipment and truck attachments. Several departments require rooms for storing parts and materials: spare parts, sign materials, lube/oil, replacement tires, brine, and other assorted items. • Mezzanines: Mezzanines provide additional storage space above workshops and along the upper walls of vehicle storage. The existing deep mezzanines are open to the garage below and accessed by stairways, built in cranes, or fork lift. They are currently used for tire, wheelbarrow, and other small equipment storage. A shallow 5'-0" mezzanine acts as a shelf and can only be accessed by fork lift. It adds storage to unused space above vehicles. • Office: The office building includes: public reception, administration, conference room, private/open offices, workstations, break room, kitchen, restrooms, and lockers.
