Project Grant
Overview
Grant Description
The Cat Administration and Maintenance Facility is located at 8300 Radio Road, Naples, FL. The facility currently houses the transit administration offices, maintenance area, and a passenger transfer center. It is a multimodal facility that serves buses, passenger cars, pedestrians, and bicycles.
The maintenance facility is a prefabricated steel building that was constructed in 1985. Due to the age of the facility and the fact that less restrictive building codes were in place at the time of construction, the building is susceptible to complete destruction during inclement weather. During the last hurricane, the structural integrity of the maintenance building was severely tested, with damages sustained to the roof and exterior wall membrane of the facility. Without the maintenance building, the transit system would be very vulnerable.
Funding is needed to refurbish/rebuild and expand, with furnishings, the aging maintenance building. This would optimize available space for effective operational use, built to Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) standards. Additionally, the facility would be updated with state-of-the-art equipment to accommodate innovative mobility service to the community. In addition, Collier County is requesting funding to purchase buses and introduce electric buses into the fleet. These buses would also function as backup power to emergency facilities in the event of emergencies. Furthermore, the installation of solar panels would have a positive impact on the environment and provide backup energy for the maintenance facility, as well as shade for buses.
The PTNE Division and the Collier County Facilities Management Division will provide oversight and project management following the FTA grant award for this project. The federal grant amount requested is $9,020,000 (D2020-BUSC-113). The current project total is $11,275,000. The 20% required matching share for the project is being provided in part by the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) Transportation Development Credits (TDC) in the amount of $225,500.
