Project Profile
The MBTA Quincy Bus Maintenance Facility project was part of the MBTA Bus Facilities Modernization Program. The goal of this project was to construct a new MBTA Quincy Bus Maintenance Facility by 2024 at a new location in Quincy, in line with fleet procurement strategies. The new facility was designed to support a larger fleet and will support future fleets with alternative fuel sources such as battery electric buses.
The new facility is located at 599 Thomas E. Burgin Parkway, Quincy, Massachusetts, proximate to Quincy Adams Station on the Red Line. The new bus maintenance facility provided additional capacity to support future service growth, swing space to support other facility projects, and potential changes related to a transition to battery electric buses, including charging capacity. The facility initially supported diesel-hybrid buses but later provided for future conversion to a battery-electric bus fleet. The facility stored and maintained 120 buses but was later permitted to allow for up to 135 buses (an increase from the current facility capacity of 86 buses). The facility contained storage, fueling, washing, maintenance, support, administrative, and management capabilities required to support a fleet of this size. All transit vehicle maintenance and storage functions were performed indoors.
The complete scope for this project included, but was not limited to, 75% and 100% design submissions, cost estimates, construction schedule, PDG participation, risk analysis, value engineering, community and public outreach, PS&E submission and bid package development in accordance with MBTA standards, bid phase services, and construction phase services. In addition, the scope includes the 100% design submission for Early Release Construction Package at the 75% design stage. Initial scope of services included Phase III through Phase VI.
Garg Consulting Services, Inc. (Garg) provided MEP/HVAC engineering support services for the 30%-100% Design Phase, Bid Phase, and Construction Phase Services.
