SERVICES <br />Site Evaluation and Selection <br />The success of a design project begins with <br />the selection of the correct site. A <br />multitude of criteria must be evaluated <br />when selecting a site. Examples include <br />distances to and from service areas, <br />proximity to major arterials, size, <br />topography, shape, and type of surrounding <br />neighborhoods. <br />Our hands on experience in the design of <br />over 200 maintenance facilities allows MFC <br />to quickly establish the physical criteria <br />required for the site. <br />Establishing a weighted criteria matrix <br />ensures that the evaluation results in a <br />ranking of sites which meet all of the <br />desired requirements of the Owner. <br />Maintenance Facility Functional Design <br />The firm has been involved in the functional <br />design of over two hundred maintenance <br />facilities for facility and fleet operators <br />throughout the US. Fleet facilities have <br />included operations from as few as seven <br />up to 5,000 vehicles. Our understanding of <br />the maintenance process enables us to <br />quickly comprehend the working <br />philosophy established by your agency and <br />translate that philosophy into the criteria <br />required for a functional facility. Our depth <br />of knowledge of maintenance equipment <br />provides a useful tool for Owners when <br />establishing the workflow and relationships <br />of the areas within the facility and on the <br />site. <br />Typical MFC involvement in facility design <br />includes detailed space programming; <br />development of functional criteria; <br />establishing functional relationships; <br />selection, specification, and layout of <br />maintenance equipment; conceptual <br />design; and coordination of functional <br />criteria and maintenance equipment <br />requirements with the other design <br />disciplines. <br />The firm has performed these services for <br />new facility designs, facility renovations, <br />and facility expansions. <br />MAINTENANCE FACILITY CONSULTANTS 46 <br />A DIVISION OF WHITMAN, REQUARDT & ASSOCIATES, LLP <br />
