PUBLIC WORKS EXPERIENCE <br />STEELE COUNTY PUBLIC <br />WORKS FACILITY <br />The Steele County Highway Department project began <br />as a study after the existing facility was condemned by <br />FEMA due to damage from a flood. The study phase <br />included analyzing the options of reconstructing on the <br />existing site. purchasing an existing building to remodel, <br />or purchasing undeveloped land for new construction. <br />Due to limitations of existing options, a new site was <br />deemed most cost-effective. The final project consists of <br />the main building, fuel island, and salt/sand storage facility <br />with provisions for a future cold storage building. The size <br />of the site also allowed a layout to accommodate a future <br />County department building or sale of a portion of the <br />site to a commercial entity. The project went through the <br />B3 Benchmarking process which required life -cycle cost <br />and payback analysis of several items including a photovoltaic <br />system, energy recovery systems, lighting control systems, <br />increased insulation and opening <br />Above: A photo of the new facility <br />Below: A view of the existing flooded facility <br />STEELE COUNTY <br />I' wHWAY DEPARTMENT <br />RAMSEY PUBLIC WORKS FACILITY PROPOSAL 22 <br />
