Additional Backup Information: The Northeast Service Center (NESC) facility is anticipated to be approximately 300,000 square feet and will be constructed to allow for future expansion up to 375,000 square feet. The NESC will incorporate vehicle servicing shop areas, warehousing, administrative offices and support functions, outside storage, and vehicle storage that will merge and consolidate current operations from various separate locations for Austin Resource Recovery (ARR) and the Fleet Mobility Services Department (FMSD). Currently, ARR maintains its entire fleet from the Todd Lane location in southeast Austin. ARR requires the use of additional facilities to better service their customers, improve operational efficiencies, reduce long-term operating costs, allow for staff expansion, and reduce the Department’s carbon footprint by providing a northern location to deploy trucks. In addition to directly supporting ARR vehicle needs, the NESC will provide much needed and improved space to support a wide range of fleet assets from lawn mowers to watercraft to Fire/Police/EMS vehicles and Public Works trucks. The NESC will be operational 24 hours a day in the event of an emergency that would require this functionality for an extended period. The development will include a fuel station for ARR, FMSD, and other city vehicles and provide electric vehicle charging. The new buildings will earn a minimum of 3-Star Austin Energy Green Building (AEGB) rating and WELL silver standards for administrative office areas and include zero- waste building concepts. Additionally, the sustainable building approach will help maintain a neighborly relationship with the surrounding community. These funds will be used for the full construction, tenant City of Austin Page 1 of 2 Printed on 11/27/2024 powered by Legistar™ (cid:5) (cid:6) File #: 24-6253, Agenda Item #: 14. 12/12/2024(cid:4) improvements and furniture, fixtures and equipment.
