The selected design designates heavy duty and light duty work bays, with the heavy duty bays large enough in size to accommodate the 40 foot transit buses utilized for Fixed Route service as well as fire engines. The design of the work bays will allow the large transit vehicles to be serviced within an enclosed shop space. Currently, large transit vehicles and fire engines are maintained in the yard on portable lifts as the existing shop was not able to accommodate the larger vehicles. The new shop will incorporate electrical and mechanical systems capable of meeting the changing technology demands as the City seeks to further utilize Compressed Natural Gas. As of June 2007, the entire transit operation for the City operates on Compressed Natural Gas. The building will not only include work bays for the vehicles but clerical space, supervisors offices, parts storage and several required auxiliary rooms for parts washing, etc. The addition of these other spaces into the main building also assists with the flow of vehicles throughout the MSC yard as currently the clerical space and supervisor's office are located in a portable trailer parked in the yard itself.
