The I-70 Transportation Operations Facility Project involves construction of transportation-related facilities at the Town’s Public Works site located at 500 Swift Gulch Road.  This major capital project has been planned since 1995.  The purpose of this project is to replace degrading and under-sized “back-of-house” infrastructure used by the Town in the provision of municipal services for transit, road maintenance, trails maintenance, and general facility and grounds maintenance. The project includes a 24-stall bus storage building, including 4,000 square feet of office space, new bus wash and relocation of public works facilities to make way for the bus storage building. 

The I-70 Regional Operations Transportation Facility offer regional benefits so, the project was awarded several Federal and State grants in late 2010.  These grants will pay the majority of professional services and construction of the transportation-related elements of the Project.  The project involves site grading, installation of utilities and infrastructure, relocation of the existing modular office building, and construction of a new bus storage, wash, and maintenance facility.

The Town Council directed staff to use sustainable products and other “green” elements in the design and construction of the Project. There are numerous “green” options that willbe incorporated into the Project without significantly increasing the capital costs, such as recycled asphalt, storm-water management, energy efficient HVAC systems, and local materials. While the planned photovoltaic system and solar thermal heating systems have been excluded, the building will be designed to accommodate their installation at a later date.
