IrI <br />QERTEL <br />ARCHITECTS <br />G. PUBLIC WORKS EXPERIENCE <br />MnDOT PLYMOUTH TRUCK <br />STATION EXPANSION <br />As metro communities mature and approach <br />100% build -out, more and more agencies are <br />looking to renovate and expand facilities on <br />existing sites. The project scope consisted of site <br />upgrades to drainage, paving, and fencing and <br />the construction of a 38,600 square foot addition <br />that would house additional fleet parking, multiple <br />wash bays, and consolidated maintenance and <br />office functions. The existing building would be <br />retrofitted for code compliance (fire, ADA, etc.) <br />and dedicated to bridge crew staff and operations. <br />During the initial site preparation phase, a high <br />level of soil contamination was discovered <br />throughout the site. This discovery threatened <br />to shut down the project. The design team, owner, <br />and contractor worked together to design and <br />implement a comprehensive and thoughtful <br />approach that combined material removal and <br />contaminate encapsulation to mitigate potential <br />costs and to keep the project moving forward. <br />Various sustainable design strategies were <br />implemented for this project. These include but <br />are not limited to; clerestory windows with stepped <br />daylighting controls, energy -efficient overhead <br />doors, CO/NO2 sensors for building exhaust, <br />dual -level lighting fixtures, occupancy sensors, <br />high -efficiency gas boilers, and unit heaters, and <br />heat -recovery units. These strategies represent <br />a 28% reduction in Energy Use Intensity and will <br />result in an estimated energy cost savings of <br />$18,700 annually when compared to a code <br />baseline building. <br />RAMSEY PUBLIC WORKS FACILITY PROPOSAL <br />21 <br />
