To ensure VVTA can safely store, maintain, fuel, and operate FCEBs its facility must be evaluated by professional engineering services, and as necessary, facility upgrades and modifications, and specific safety-related improvements must be made before vehicles can be worked on in the garage. This project is to provide VVTA with professional engineering services to evaluate and upgrade its maintenance facility, fuel island, steam bay, and bus wash for hydrogen fuel cell buses. The facility must be assessed and modified to meet safety codes and standards for a classified “major repair” garage under NFPA 2. Necessary upgrades may include gas detection, lighting and electrical, HVAC, and other appurtenances and essential systems. The project covers design, engineering, procurement support, and construction support for hydrogen-safe facility modifications. Services for the hydrogen upgrades and improvements for this project will be completed in three phases: a. Design and Permitting Phase b. Bid and Award of Construction/Installation Contract Phase c. Construction Support and Closeout Phase
