Supervisors instruct staff to advance fleet shop expansion to bid; project estimated about $1.2 million
Summary
Board directed staff to proceed with specifications and bid invitations for a fleet-shop expansion after viewing design options. Staff said a two-bay expansion with alternate third bay would likely total roughly $1.1'$1.5 million including equipment; supervisors asked to proceed so a public hearing can be set later.
Johnson County supervisors on Jan. 15 reviewed design drawings and cost estimates for an expansion of the county fleet shop and directed staff to move the project toward bidding.
The gist: Facilities and architect representatives presented plans for a three-bay building, with an alternate to deliver a two-bay base and third-bay add-on. Designers and staff estimated a two-bay build would be roughly $980,000'$1.1 million in building costs with the alternate third bay bringing the three-bay option to about $1.3 million; an in-ground lift and other equipment could add roughly $160,000.
Why it matters: Facilities staff said the addition would speed vehicle repair and save operational time and cost, with payback over a few years. Supervisors discussed available budget and the timing of bids versus the next fiscal-year budget approval.
Board direction and timing: Supervisors agreed to proceed with specifications and bid invitations. Facilities staff said they will return later to set a public hearing date and present a finalized capital request; the capital-improvement planning number presented to supervisors was about $1,500,000 to reflect probable total package cost.
Budget note: Staff reminded the board that previous budgeted funds (about $375,000) could be applied to the project; the total project figure presented to supervisors included contingencies and equipment.
Ending: Staff will proceed to prepare bid packages and return with public-hearing scheduling and final cost recommendations for formal action.
