Attachment C indicated that given current operations and expected growth that the Maintenance Facility should be approximately 100,000 square feet in size, nearly 40% larger than the current size of the facility. This need for simple space is highlighted by the fact the City is forced to store trailers, castings, replacement poles and other materials outside year round, reducing the serviceable life of much of the material. The City is also currently leasing seasonal storage space offsite to house equipment and vehicles that don’t fit in the current facility. Some of this space is actually located outside the City of Roseville at the State Fair grounds. Staff is then forced to rotate equipment and vehicles seasonally. Also, the City is currently paying over $60,000 per year for this lease space, which will of course increase over time. As well as being too small, much of the facility is outdated and behind modern standards and requirements. A prime example of this is the vehicle wash bay. It is undersized for the City’s large vehicles such as snow plows and the jetter, forcing maintenance staff to wash off vehicles outside, often times in freezing conditions which creates a hazard for the maintenance worker. It also lacks proper drainage for the wash out material; a new wash bay would allow the City to meet current standards and regulations. The City is also delaying needed maintenance on its fuel islands and fuel tanks not wanting to make a large investment in components of an aging facility. Additionally, the space that we do have is largely too small for larger vehicles, lacks proper clearances and work space, and requires rotating vehicles and equipment to provide work space for the maintenance staff. In short, it is extremely inefficient for the variety of maintenance activities that occur inside and around the current facility. The existing wash bay is only large enough for a large Constructed in 1980, the North Maintenance Building has a lower ceiling clearance and limited pickup meaning larger vehicles such as snow plows flexibility for storing longer vehicles.and the City’s Jetter must be washed outside in the elements, producing dangerous, icy conditions during the winter months.
