This document provides a progress update and cost comparison for a proposed fleet maintenance center project for Gloucester County Public Schools. It summarizes the program requirements and site plans for building the facility at either the Old Page Middle School site or the New Page Middle School site. The Old Page site option has a lower estimated total cost of $6.7 million compared to $8.7 million for the New Page site due to existing infrastructure already in place. The presentation seeks feedback on key aspects of the proposed plans and programs.

11. SITES – COMPARATIVE DISCUSSION
Old Page
School site
New Page
School site
 Lesser cost to develop; minimal clearing and grading required
 Utilities already on (or near) site that appear adequate, including fueling
 Access to Route 17 remains configured as-is today – not ideal, but adequate
 Improving access to Rt. 17 not essential; but could be quite costly
 Re-utilizes existing Transportation office/garage; well-suited to Utilities
Maintenance Division needs
 Portion of existing site remains undeveloped – available for future expansion
 Higher cost to develop
 Relatively high site costs for clearing, earthwork and grading, new utilities
 Higher cost to build 100% new space for Utilities Maintenance Division
 Good access off T.C. Walker Road for optimized ingress/egress; but must
widen T.C. Walker Road with new turn lanes
 More flexible site arrangement & internal movement than Old Page
 Building at New Page site allows alternative use at Old Page site;
land used for this project is no longer available for a future school

12. COMMENTS RECEIVED & RESPONSES
 Incorporate Mosquito Control Vehicle Parking
 The Mosquito Control vehicles (2) and its chemical storage/handling area
will be located inside the Warehouse with Utilities Maintenance, partitioned
off separately from other functions. At the Old Page site, this amounts to
one bay of the existing Schools Transportation Building.
 Recommend extending 8-inch water lines into site in order to include
fire sprinklers at the buildings and support new fire hydrants
Sprinklers will be required at the main Admin./Garage building, but will
likely not be required at the Warehouse due to its size and function. New
fire hydrants will be required at either site, and the cost estimate will be
increased to include more 8-inch water piping.

13. COMMENTS RECEIVED & RESPONSES
 Consider reducing the number of buses that need to be stored on the
site to 160; and consolidate the buses in such a manner that, when all
parked on the site, they occupy as minimal a footprint as necessary, to
reduce acreage developed and new impervious surface.
 Will do. There may be reduction of impervious area by as much as 30,000-
50,000 SF, resulting in cost savings at both sites for new pavement,
earthwork/grading, and stormwater treatment.
 Revisit the estimated cost for sanitary sewer force main extension at the
New Page Site.
 Will do. Additional cost (minor) for a new force main to the New Page Middle
School pump station will be included. Will discuss further with Utilities if
Upgrade to the School pump station and/or force main beyond is needed. The
sewer discharge rate can be reduced with a holding tank at the New Page site.
