City of Gainesville's RTS Bus Fleet Maintenance & Operations Facility to Break Ground

The design-build team of Charles Perry Partners Inc., Ponikvar & Associates Inc. and Causseaux, Hewett, & Walpole Inc. is set to break ground in December for the city of Gainesville’s new $33 million Regional Transit System (RTS) Bus Fleet Maintenance & Operations Facility.

Funded by federal grants from the Federal Transit Administration, the 140,000-square-foot facility will be located on Veitch Street and will include dispatch, administrative and maintenance facilities. The city commission’s November 2011 selection of the team affirmed its Purchasing Division’s recommendation following consideration of five teams with national transit facility experience.
