Wendel Experience

Attention to detail is the overarching principle that guides the successful design of bus and vehicle maintenance facilities at Wendel. These facilities act as the exam, emergency and operating rooms for the transit provider. In order for them to safely and efficiently serve the traveling public, all of the component parts in these facilities, from the fueling and washing to the overhead doors, maintenance bays, shops and parts room, to the heating, ventilating and lighting, all must work together seamlessly to maintain the fleet in good health.

Wendel’s public transit practice began in 1975. Since then, Wendel’s architects and engineers have designed scores of maintenance facilities by not just using their skills as architects and engineers, but also by looking through the eyes of the mechanics, operators and administrators using these facilities.

While all maintenance facilities may have similar operations and components, no two transit providers operate exactly the same or have the same preferences in layout and equipment. Wendel staff shadow the maintenance facility staff for several days, in order to learn firsthand the preferred workflow, and what currently does or does not work well in their facility. This results in a customized maintenance facility design that responds to the needs and unique processes of the day-to-day users, while overall still following recognized public transit industry best practices.

After designing GLTC's LEED Platinum Bus Transfer Center, Wendel was retained to analyze potential sites for an operations and maintenance facility and provide preliminary environmental review for the preferred site as well as conceptual design for construction. The Wendel Site Selection Process is a valuable tool to help our clients objectively analyze system wide needs and potential sites for new facilities. The goal of the overall process is to reach consensus among the decision making parties on the preferred site on which to construct the needed facility. The design team began by evaluating GLTC's current and future service demands and determined the programmatic needs for a new operations and maintenance

facility. Once the top three sites had been determined and reviewed with the GLTC Steering Committee, preliminary environmental and infrastructure reviews were conducted on the sites. The design team provided preliminary layouts for all three sites to ensure program compatibility. These sites were then individually graded by means of weighted scoring criteria, which resulted in a preferred site being selected. With the site selected, the design team developed construction documents and also took the project through the bidding and construction phases. The facility opened in March 2017.

WMATA was faced with the challenge of relocating a functionally obsolete bus garage and moving it to a site that would reduce dead head miles. Building on a relationship of more than 20 years, the Wendel team submitted an unsolicited proposal for replacing the Royal Street Bus Garage. Utilizing an alternative delivery method and our extensive knowledge of bus garage design, the proposed solution allowed WMATA to outsource much of the land acquisition and development process. This approach created a new facility that was brought on line up to seven years faster and significantly less expensive than using traditional methods. The Cinder Bed Road garage is a modern bus maintenance, storage and administrative facility. The new

site meets the public transportation needs without infringing on the quality of life of the surrounding community. The 18 acre site, 80,000 sf facility accommodates 160 diesel and hybrid diesel buses. Bus storage is located outside, while fueling, bus cleaning and maintenance are inside the building footprint. On-site bridges safely accommodate employees and visitors entering and exiting the building from the parking areas. A creative site entrance bridge, over a creek, allows for buses, visitors, personnel and employees to safely navigate the entire site from arrival to departure, and also masks the facility from the community. The design and construction was sensitive to preserving and enhancing a Resource Protected Area (RPA) fronting Cinder Bed Road. The project was designed with sustainable practices and has achieved LEED Gold Certification.

The Greater Hartford Transit District (GHTD) previously operated out of a leased facility. A new facility was needed to provide improved maintenance and operation of the paratransit fleet and to accommodate diesel, gas and fleets that run on alternative fuels/CNG. In collaboration with GHTD and Gregg Wies Gardner Architects, Wendel designed a new maintenance and operations facility that includes a separate administration area. This area features a training room, dispatch, reservations and scheduling, driver's break room, management offices and more. The unique space overlooks the maintenance area and features an open ceiling industrial concept with exposed ductwork and clerestory windows that provide daylight.

Prior to designing the maintenance area, Wendel's engineers and architects conducted an immersion process – observing workflow, doing a tool inventory and interviewing staff. The new maintenance area features four bays, storage area, parts room, mechanic's room, wash bay with water/oil separator, parking for at least 125 vehicles and a fueling and service lanes under a canopy. The maintenance facility is CNG compliant. Construction began in the summer of 2015 and the project was completed on schedule and the owner occupied the space in August of 2017.

Wendel is providing a complete design for a new 275,000 sf bus maintenance and storage facility. The new facility, under construction, is located on a large open site that provides excellent opportunities for an efficient arrangement of building, parking and site circulation. Due to the location of the site, engineering studies were completed to determine how the necessary utilities (water, sanitary, storm, electric and gas) will be brought to the facility. As a result, off site design work includes bringing utilities from over one mile away. Setting the building above flood levels played an important role in our design. In order to avoid extensive fill, automobile parking is placed under the building, saving costs while keeping buses and maintenance above the flood plain.

A brownfield site, water efficiency, indoor air quality and energy efficient measures are also central to Wendel's approach and design process. The facility includes interior bus servicing, storage and maintenance for 50 full size buses, 50 paratransit vehicles and covered employee parking. An architectural image for four sided viewing from the highway, scenic railroad, and scenic river, was a challenge, as well as strict FM requirements and unsuitable soils. Dynamic compaction was used to increase soil bearing at minimal cost.

Pasco County Public Transportation (PCPT) was struggling with an undersized operations and maintenance facility that failed to accommodate the current capacity of county staff and assets. The county received $3.5 million in funding from the Federal Transit Administration in order to construct a new Transit Operations and Maintenance Facility for PCPT, to be developed on a new 25-acre site.

The Wendel design team was brought in to design the new facility, and in early March of 2017 began coordination and consultation with Pasco County representatives toward the creation of a master plan for the undeveloped site. The new facility was designed to include six (6) service bays, with the capacity to accommodate up to ten (10) additional bays as

demand for service increases. Multiple progress meetings were held to inform key stakeholders and county representatives of the plan's development throughout the following months. While the master plan is based on the future establishment of a shared-use facility between PCPT, Pasco Utilities and the Department of Public Works, Wendel designed the plan in such a way that each facility could stand alone if necessary.

The Wendel design team utilized the site's existing pond, situating the facility nearby and using it as a stormwater management feature, while retaining and enhancing as much of the greenery on site as possible. Designs included HVAC, electrical, plumbing and fire safety. Equipment process systems were also detailed in the design process.

AECOM led the development of the Miami Intermodal Center, a transportation hub that serves as central connecting point for regional travel in Miami-Dade County. The MIC provides an intermodal connection and transfer point linking the Miami International Airport via an automated people mover system with Metrorail, Tri-Rail, Amtrak, Airport/Seaport transportation services, Metro Bus, intercity buses, regional highways, and local streets. AECOM began work on the MIC in June 1993, when FDOT selected AECOM to conduct a project development and environment study. Upon completion of the FEIS and record of decision in 1998, AECOM was awarded a five-year, multimillion-dollar task order for program management services. Under the current technical services contract, AECOM provides program management, design services, design consultant management, transportation and land use planning, public involvement services, business/financial advisory services, architectural/facilities planning and design, and right-of-way acquisition. Major Program Elements. The MIC connects approximately 150,000 people daily with the airport, Amtrak, Metrorail, Tri-Rail, intercity and intra-city bus service and airport/seaport transportation services. The MIC project has been designated a "Project of National Significance" by the USDOT and includes the following major elements:

• Consolidated Rental Car Center: The 3.4 million square foot facility consists of a four-story parking structure accommodating 6,500 cars. A quick turnaround (QTA) stacking area includes 1,242 spaces, and includes a four story multi-level fueling system housing 120 fuel stations and 42 wash bays. This facility is the first multi-level

fueling system in the United States and the second largest facility in the nation. Each of the parking garage’s floor plates measures 20 acres in size (approximately 8 square city blocks). The ready/return area provides 3,918 stalls and is separated from the quick turnaround (QTA). The upper story of the parking garage consists of a central lobby shared by 16 rental car companies which has two vertical circulation cores, each connecting to the lower ready-return levels. The central lobby is directly connected to an elevated people mover station platform.

• Automated People Mover Station: The elevated people mover station platform consists of three individual passenger platforms and two vehicle tracks. The platform measures 30,000 SF and is designed for future concessions space. The station’s platform is supported by seven concrete straddle bents, each spanning 103 feet over multiple roads at grade, and one elevated vehicular bridge. The elevated station serves as a bridge connecting the rental car center and the Central Station, the station provides easy and seamless access for passengers connecting the two facilities.

• Central Station Project: Connected to the APM Station, the Central Station project encompasses a 27 acre site and consolidates Tri-Rail, Amtrak, Metro-Rail and bus passengers under one roof. The two at grade rail platforms measure 1,030 feet in length, each partially covered by an open web space frame canopy extending 800 feet long. Each platform is served by individual support buildings housing offices, storage and ticketing spaces. Individual sets of elevators and escalators connect each of the two rail platforms to the overhead

pedestrian concourse, providing seamless access to the people mover station and consolidated rental car facility. Other components include a 3,000 SF bus depot with space for 6 bus berths serving intra-city bus service, and a 1,500 SF bicycle center with men’s and women’s changing facilities and bicycle lockers catering to bicycle users. The elevated pedestrian concourse also functions as a passenger bridge to the future joint use development. At grade vehicular parking is provided for 400 vehicles. The Central Station serves to interconnect all of the Miami Intermodal Center’s facilities’ life safety and security systems using a central control room designed to monitor the entire project.

Other components include the future joint development of 1.4 million square feet inclusive of office space, hotel rooms, general retail/entertainment space, parking, and up to 12 million square feet of future associated joint development. Infrastructure elements include elevated transit guideways and an elevated highway connector linking two of the most congested east-west expressways in Miami-Dade County, and a series of roadways to facilitate access/egress in and around the MIC and MIA. Preliminary Design and Environmental Impact Statement Preparation. The MIC study was conducted using the Joint Federal Transit Administration/FHWA Investment Analysis guidelines, and the FDOT PD&E guidelines, all which fully comply with requirements of NEPA. A joint memorandum of understanding was entered into by FHWA, FTA, FRA, the Maritime Administration, US Coast Guard and FDOT, with FHWA as the lead agency. The culmination of the study was a FEIS and record of decision, approved by the FHWA in May 1998. Work on the MIC study was performed in close coordination with a parallel FDOT study, the East-West Multimodal Corridor Study. Final Design/Design Management. In January 1998, AECOM was selected as technical services consultant for the FDOT. In this role, AECOM provided a wide range of technical and program management services. Program Management. AECOM worked as an extension of the FDOT within the integrated MIC Management Group. In addition to preparing and maintaining the master program schedule and programmatic estimates, AECOM managed the performance of key subconsultants and six technical consultants. AECOM was actively involved coordinating all aspects of design with the myriad agencies and interested parties involved, principally the Miami International Airport, Miami Expressway Authority, Tri-Rail, and MDTA. Other program management tasks performed by AECOM included assisting in development of a governance plan for MIC

operations and managing the FDOT work program as it relates to the MIC. Roadway Design and Design Consultant Management. AECOM was lead designer for the MIC internal roadways and MIC core terminal roadways and bridges. As design consultant, AECOM managed and oversaw four FDOT-selected design firms. In addition, AECOM was responsible for scope of services preparation, assisting in the procurement process, reviewing design plans from a standards compliance and quality assurance standpoint, and maintaining schedule and work program cost elements. Transportation and Land Use Planning. AECOM prepared ridership projections for the MIC and analyzed the data to determine the future travel demand forecasts. AECOM also participated in development of geometric design and access design to the airport and MIC. Planning interchanges was a significant challenge due to the need to integrate highway and rail components. To address this complex issue, AECOM was instrumental in guidance and preparation of several memoranda of understanding and joint participation agreements with Miami-Dade County, the airport, and expressway authority. Land use planning efforts included preparing the master plan for the creation of a new zoning district. This new district will allow for highest and best use development. Public Involvement Services. AECOM, in conjunction with our subconsultants, lead the development of a public involvement program that includes local, state, and federal government interaction. In addition, the AECOM lead team was responsible for creation of a community awareness program in accordance with FDOT standards. Finally, AECOM coordinated with neighboring empowerment zone to stimulate economic growth in the area. A public involvement office was established to facilitate communication with the affected local businesses and residences. Business/Financial Advisory Services. AECOM developed the long- and short-term financial plans for the MIC. This plan called for financing the major program elements within a five-year period. Through use of MPO funding, local gas revenues allocated to FDOT District 6, other agency participation and Transportation Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act (TIFIA) proceeds, the FDOT's work program for the five-year timeframe were both funded and balanced. AECOM also prepared the successful application to USDOT for federal funding under TIFIA. Architectural/Facilities Planning and Design. As part of a multi-phased process, AECOM developed architectural concepts for the MIC core and consolidated rental car facility. AECOM, in conjunction with its subconsultants, completed the schematic and design development phase, bringing the design of these elements to approximately 40%

completion. For the construction delivery method, AECOM advised the client as to the best procurement approach to take: traditional design-bid-build, design-build, or a CM at risk method. CM at risk was chosen. Right-of-Way Acquisition. AECOM provided all aspects of right-of-way acquisition inclusive of appraisal management, negotiations, lawsuit preparation for eminent domain hearings, relocation advisory services and property management. Total parcel count was 72, with land acquisition values over $300 million. Complex relocations involved movement of existing rental car companies into the consolidated rental car facility and the facilitation of the businesses that provide major support to the airport, such as food chefs and delivery services. Terminal Access Roadways (Ramp C Bridge). AECOM reviewed and assisted in design of a 575-foot, six-span bridge along with approach retaining walls and interface with a parking structure. The bridge consists of prestressed concrete Florida U-beams supported on wall piers with 18-inch prestressed concrete piles. The bridge serves as the

exit ramp for the consolidated rental car facility at the Miami International Airport. MIC Miami Central Station. AECOM planned, designed, and provided construction documents for the first phase of the Central Station at the Miami Intermodal Center (MIC). This facility will consolidate Tri-Rail and Amtrak passenger services under one roof. The design will also accommodate a potential third platform for future expansion. The MIC Central Station features an elevated pedestrian concourse that links travelers to a ground transportation center where they can access intercity bus and taxi operations, as well as provide vehicle drop-off and pick-up areas. The station will also connect to a Metro Rail station, an airport automated people mover, and consolidated rental car center lobby. AECOM also provided landscape, signage, and roadway improvement design through subconsultants for the full 27-acre site.

Jacksonville Transportation Center Jacksonville, Florida Services Project Development and Environmental (PD&E) Study Master Planning Conceptual Design Final Design

Dates 2002-2014

Through a series of contracts since the late 1990s, AECOM provided architectural and engineering design services for a proposed multimodal transportation center named the Jacksonville Transportation Center (JTC) bringing together both intra- and intercity transportation systems into a common facility offering commuters and visitors convenient intermodal transfers and access to Jacksonville's public transportation network. AECOM completed master planning, cost estimates, funding/financing investigations, an environmental assessment, preliminary railroad design, architecture and engineering design, and development of an implementation program. The JTC consists of a Jacksonville Transportation Authority (JTA) bus terminal, a JTA Skyway people mover station (Automated Skyway Express/ASE), two Bus Rapid Transit stations, an Amtrak Terminal, a Greyhound Terminal, two park-and-ride facilities/parking garages, a public plaza, retail establishments, an elevated pedestrian concourse, JTA offices, and a Regional Transportation Management Center (RTMC). One objective of the JTC project is to make use of the circa 1919 historic neoclassical style building presently known as the Jacksonville Union Terminal. This grand historic building will be the focal point of the passenger rail improvements. Presently, the building is part of the Prime Osborn Convention Center and is not accessible by the general public. This building will be restored to its original use as a rail station for Amtrak and will be easily accessible by the public. Track improvements will be made to accommodate Amtrak trains arriving and departing from the Jacksonville Union Terminal. The existing Skyway station on Bay Street will act as the hub of transportation activity, connecting the multiple nodes of transportation to an existing downtown linkage system. The City of Jacksonville created a master plan for the LaVilla District fulfilling the City’s vision of creating a pedestrian-friendly residential community of urban housing, open spaces, retail opportunities, and pedestrian interconnectivity between neighborhoods. In order to achieve these

objectives, the City has encouraged mixed use development, striving to extend commercial activity into major pedestrian arteries and urban plazas that are readily accessible from other areas of downtown. This accessibility can only become reality with improvements to public transportation. In addressing the City’s need for improved public transportation, AECOM created a Transportation Sub-district (Jacksonville Transportation Center) within the LaVilla Master Plan providing consolidated transit-oriented activity that enhances pedestrian access, while encouraging mixed-use development. Retail opportunities will be integrated throughout the center, with substantial parking to increase ridership and encourage downtown activity. What started as a Transportation Linkage Study is now destined to be a major Transit Oriented Development in Florida. The concept of the Transportation Sub-district has been approved by the Downtown Development Authority (DDA), Jacksonville Economic Development Council (JEDC), Jacksonville Transportation Authority (JTA), and the office of Mayor. On March 22, 2005, City Council unanimously passed 17 to 0, the Ordinance making the Jacksonville Transportation Center part of the City's master plan. Planning of the Jacksonville Transportation Center required an in-depth understanding of the needs of FDOT, the City of Jacksonville, the Jacksonville Transportation Authority, private transportation companies, local economic development interests, historic and cultural interests, and the local community. This project integrates a multimodal transportation center into a vibrant cultural district that will serve as a spark for local redevelopment and a source of community pride. This project was conducted under the guidance and supervision of the Federal Highway Administration, the Federal Transit Administration, the Federal Railroad Administration, and by the Florida Department of Transportation under the provisions set forth in a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) signed by all four supporting agencies in 1995.

AECOM (formerly URS) assisted the Hoke Area Transit Service (HATS) with the planning and environmental documentation for a transit facility adequate to serve the anticipated growth in the community. AECOM conducted a current conditions assessment of the existing facility, quantifying the facility and parking space. Based on interviews and peer review, our team worked with HATS to determine the space needs for the future facility and develop a building concept plan.

AECOM analyzed and ranked ten potential sites for the new facility, considering a holistic set of screening factors that included: location, size, zoning, community impacts, environmental impacts, utilities, and cost. In collaboration with the project steering committee, a preferred site was identified.

AECOM prepared a Categorical Exclusion to document potential environmental impacts at the preferred site. Our team also prepared a Title VI Equity Analysis to ensure that the location of the preferred site would be made without regard to race, color, or national origin. The Federal Transit Administration concurred with the Categorical Exclusion document and approved the Title VI analysis.

Lee Tran Administration, Operations and Maintenance Facility Lee County, Florida

Brief Project Description: AECOM provided complete architectural and engineering design services including construction administration for a new $30 million bus maintenance facility for the Lee County, Florida bus fleet. The newly constructed Lee Tran Administration, Operations and Maintenance Facility serves the expanding needs of Lee Tran and houses administrative, service operation, and maintenance functions. It includes Administrative Offices of approximately 12,800 sq. ft., Transportation Operations Offices of approximately 20,000 sq. ft. and a Vehicle Maintenance Building of approximately 45,000 sq. ft.

The maintenance building has 18 bays with lifts for repair of the buses. The facility also includes bus fleet fueling and cleaning stations for fleet operations and maintenance. The facility supports approximately 500 employees, 124 buses, 90 paratransit vehicles, 47 support staff vehicles, and 296 employee parking spaces. The Administrative Offices serve office and clerical staff, customer service, provides public meeting space, IT and training functions. The Operations Building houses supervisory staff, dispatch, driver check-in and prep area, vehicle inspection and release for both Fixed Route and Paratransit Services. The Maintenance Building provides for maintenance staff, warehouse functions, route maintenance, facility maintenance, vehicle maintenance and repair, inspection, wash, interior detailing and fueling. All buildings have steel frame and tilt-up concrete wall construction, LED lighting, and energy efficient mechanical systems. The maintenance building incorporates a continuous clerestory window system bringing natural lighting into the center of the maintenance bays. A concrete strengthening agent was added to the concrete flooring in the maintenance bays to provide added durability. The project is registered with the US Green Building Council for LEED certification. It is anticipated that it will receive LEED silver certification for the administration/ operations building and LEED certified for the maintenance building.

CobbLinc, Bus Fueling Station and Wash Facility Improvements and CATEX Cobb County, GA

CobbLinc (formerly Cobb Community Transit) operates a fleet of nearly 100 buses that serve local and regional routes. Their current operations and maintenance facility is aging and needs modernization to keep up with more stringent environmental regulations while maintaining efficient service. The existing compressed natural gas (CNG) fueling system that was built in the early 2000’s is nearing the end of its useful life and the existing petroleum fueling system is also in need of significant improvement. Kimley-Horn was selected to program, environmentally permit, and design upgrades to the fueling and wash facilities as well as to bring the site into compliance with current storm water regulations and increase security for the site. All of the proposed improvements must conform to federal requirements associated with the grant from the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) that CobbLinc received. The Kimley-Horn team prepared an inventory and conditions assessment of the existing infrastructure and held a charrette to determine the desired improvements that served as the basis for the development of the design. Kimley-Horn then developed preliminary plans, an environmental document, final design plans, construction bid documents and is now working with the County and the Construction Manager At-Risk (CMAR) through negotiations for a Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) prior to starting construction. Construction of the improvements must accommodate continuous operation of the existing service and while complying with the current provisions of the operations and maintenance contract. Kimley-Horn will also provide design support through the construction phase. The estimated cost for engineering and construction of the CobbLinc Maintenance Facility renovation project is $5,000,000.00.

Charlotte Area Transit System (CATS) Maintenance-of-Way Facility Charlotte, NC

Charlotte Area Transit System (CATS) selected Kimley-Horn to develop an approximately 20,000 square foot independent maintenance-of-way (MOW) facility behind the existing light rail Vehicle Maintenance Facility (VMF) along South Boulevard. The project site is approximately 3.4 acres and includes associated parking fields, access drives, and pedestrian connectivity areas that all serves the building addition/expansion for the MOW facility. During programming and engineering for the project, Kimley-Horn worked extensively with CATS operations and maintenance staff to minimize disruptions during construction while also maximizing operational efficiency after completion.

Downtown Cary Design Charrette Cary, NC

In 2012, the City of Cary, North Carolina conducted a design charrette with eight planners, architects, and urban designers to create a development vision for its historic downtown area. The two-day charrette included development of a master plan for a major green space and complementary downtown development, a presentation to city leaders, and a prioritization of next steps.

Chatham Park Pittsboro, NC

Chatham Park, located on 7,000 acres west of Raleigh, is one of the largest community development projects in the country. As envisioned, Chatham Park will be a comprehensive live-work-play community that will place a premium on preservation and connectivity of open space. Vibrant village centers will serve as focal points for work, entertainment, shopping, dining, and recreation. It also will feature high-density neighborhoods and a multimodal transportation system. Chatham Park will offer residents the opportunity to walk, bike, or drive short distances to work, send their children to nearby schools, and socialize at shops, recreation centers, libraries, and parks.

Kimley-Horn has been a trusted advisor to the development team from the beginning. Our early services included high-level master planning, followed by site-specific plans and rezoning of small development sites. As the project approached critical mass, we helped write the planned development district (PDD) rezoning application and assisted the client (Chatham Park, LLC) with the entitlements, a complex year-long public process.

Our services also have included landscape architecture, civil engineering, roadway design, and structural engineering. Among the many significant tasks we have performed on Chatham Park are:

Design and permits for a new state highway interchange Design of a new bridge overpass including aesthetic design details and landscaping Master plan concepts for thousands of acres in key development areas Site design and engineering for a 20-bed hospice facility Site design and engineering for a new 30,000 SF medical office building

Chatham Park is located adjacent to more than 45,000 acres of preserved public parkland and natural areas; when fully developed, it will add another 2,000 acres to that total. The project is entitled for 22 million square feet of non-residential uses and 22,000 dwelling units.
