This grant also includes additional projected grant <br />funds in the amount of $1,976,250 with a 15% match requirement of $348,750 depending on <br />appropriation by the state legislature in the 2027-2029 state biennium. No budget amendment is <br />required. <br />Project summary statement: <br />Everett Transit’s vehicle maintenance facility is more than 60 years old and was originally built as <br />a commercial truck service center. With the development of our fleet and the increased demand <br />for transit services, a new facility is needed. WSDOT funding for design and engineering will help <br />plan for a facility with greater capacity to serve both fixed route and paratransit vehicles, be <br />specifically designed to accommodate the advanced electronic systems and alternative fuels of a <br />modern fleet and meet updated employee and facility safety standards. Additional attention in <br />the design and engineering phase will be given to ensuring the facility is resilient and able to <br />maintain continuity of operations during a natural disaster or emergency. <br />The location of the maintenance facility site is still to be determined, and a site feasibility study <br />will be conducted prior to the start of engineering. In addition to the state funds awarded in this <br />grant agreement, Everett Transit will be utilizing Federal Transit Administration formula funds to <br />complete engineering for this project. <br />Recommendation (exact action requested of Council): <br />Authorize the Mayor to sign the 2025-2029 Washington State Department of Transportation <br />Green Transportation Grant Agreement. <br /> <br /> <br />City Council Agenda Item Cover Sheet
