1.3 Location

This project is located on Shuttle Bus Road Grand Canyon Village, Grand Canyon National

Park, AZ.

1.4 Background

Grand Canyon has had a shuttle bus transit system since 1974. Since its inception, the system has grown to include 30 buses for four routes. It is the largest bus transit system in the NPS with a record 7.5 million boardings in 2016; ridership is comparable to that of mid-sized cities throughout the United States. The existing shuttle bus system is operated through a ten-year service contract that requires the operator to maintain the park-owned buses.

The existing bus maintenance and operations facility is not adequate for current transit operations and does not allow room for growth, which is needed to meet current visitation levels.

It consists of a small, two-bay metal building garage, which was originally built in the 1970s and upgraded in the 1990s to accommodate compressed natural gas vehicles. The existing facility also includes a prefabricated office trailer for operations staff and dispatch and a separate storage building. The combined existing facilities are about 5,000 square feet on an approximately 1.5-acre site.

A replacement facility addresses deferred maintenance both on the facility itself and on buses that are maintained in the facility. It would ensure that buses are maintained properly and that workers have adequate and safe places to maintain buses and operate the shuttle bus system. A new facility would provide adequate space for drivers to train and would realize efficiencies of being able to train numerous drivers at once. A larger site with properly design parking and circulation will result in more efficient end of the day operations, such as fueling and cleaning of vehicles.

Schematic Design Basis of Design Report was completed for this project in August 2020. The

Basis of Design Report is for reference and bidding purposes. All design shall be prepared by the design build contractor utilizing latest applicable standards, codes, and regulations.

1.5 Description

The proposed approach places all functions in one building to include administration, maintenance, and storage. Administration areas would have offices for staff and dispatch; a training space for drivers; restrooms and showers. Maintenance areas would have 4 vehicle work bays with lifts; a wash bay; parts storage; office space for lead mechanic; and a room with lockers for mechanics. The maintenance area would accommodate alternative fuel types including battery electric buses (BEBs), and longer buses. In addition to the admin/maintenance building, bus washing would be provided in a separate building. The near 3-acre site would accommodate bus parking for up to 42 buses with charging systems, and a separate parking for up to 60 personally owned vehicles (POVs) for bus drivers and admin staff; vehicular circulation to promote safety and accommodate efficiencies in bus cleaning and end of day operations; a fence around the compound; and access to the adjacent CNG fueling facility. Once complete, the existing facility shall be removed, and the site rehabilitated.

The scope of this project consists of the design and preparation of the plans, specifications, and estimates for construction, acquiring government furnished permits, and supplemental services.

NPS anticipates the possibility of individual early works packages for certain elements as design is finalized on other work elements.
