the bus barn - sedona - scottsdale style
Transit Maintenance and Operations
WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME SEDONA COUNCIL AND STAFF HIT A PROJECTED COST?
PROJECTED COST, $36 MILLION. THAT'S $12 MILLION PER BAY, OR $6 MILLION PER VEHICLE
Sedona City Council and staff want to build this at the Dells, where they SHOULD be focused on affordable housing. Check out our BLOG.
This Facility is not a SPA, it is built next to a waste treatment plant. This looks like a downtown Sedona Structure. A functional design - IF AT ALL.
THESE QUESTIONS WERE ASKED OF THE CITY...
- Why is there a gas station at the bus barn? Pink Jeep has over a 100 vehicles and doesn’t see the need for a gas station, we have half a dozen... Aside from just cost, there’s all sorts of environmental issues and other problems, would you consider removing that. NO, WE NEED IT!
- Would you consider having less bays because it’s a bit much for our size. NO WE NEED IT, EVERYONE WANTS TO FIX THEIR VEHICLES WITH US! (uh, maybe not)
- Would you consider doing the garage at a more basic level that just satisfies fundamental needs like a covered parking area and perhaps one repair bay. NO!
- There was zero flexibility on anything, it was Taj Ma Garage or nothing.
The biggest frustration was how inflexible the city was, but is anyone really surprised? IF this is indeed GRANT MONEY, that does not mean continued grant money coming in to run this monstrosity. But then, that's another council's problem, right?
This isn't a "mainTenance facilIty - it's a resort
ZOOM IN TO SEE THE DETAIL OF THESE ROOMS.
This is NOT a facility, this is a monument to STAFF and an irresponsible Council - and if it is GRANT money - it is NOT well Spent. AND, if something happens, who shoulders the liability. Sedona has NEVER won a law suit.
- Why are we getting so little maintenance capability for the money?
- Why do you need a fitness facility?
- Why do we need two break rooms?
- Why is there a shared restroom with only one shower? (Insane)
- Why is there a gas station? Wouldn't that take money away from local businesses? What happened to the EV strategy?
- What is a "Huddle Room" and why do we need 3 of them?
- Why is there a CONFERENCE ROOM and a TRAINING ROOM, and storage for each?
- Why is there a BREAK/LUNCH ROOM and a DAY/LUNCH ROOM?
- Why is there a TIRE SHOP when we have several tire shops in SEDONA?
- Why is Sedona competing against local businesses?
- Why is there a QUIET ROOM - is the a DAY SPA?
- What is a "Wellness Room"?
- A DATA COM ROOM, an IT SHOP/STORAGE ROOM, FACILITY MAINTENANCE office?
- Fleet and Maintenance Manager Office?
- Facility Manager Office?
- Compliance Service Supervisor Office?
- Transportation Supervisor Office?
- HR Manager? Don't we have one of those in Sedona, or does this person actually work 5 days a week?
- Compliance Officer Office?
- Admin Director Office?
- Operations Manager Office?
- 8 OPEN OFFICE Workstations for Administration?
- 8 OPEN OFFICE Workstations for Operations?
- What is a DISPATCH Suite? - with DISPATCH Storage and LOST AND FOUND?
ALL THIS FOR 3 SLOTS, 6 BAYS. FOLKS, I HAVE PERSONALLY BEEN TO THE FREIGHTLINER TRUCK FACILITY IN AVONDALE WHERE THEY WORK ON REAL EQUIPMENT, NOT THE TOYS WE DRIVE AROUND IN SEDONA. THEY DON'T HAVE ANYTHING LIKE THIS. WHAT A WASTE OF TIME AND MONEY, AND THE CITY IS TAKING BUSINESS AWAY FROM OUR LOCAL BUSINESSES AND NOT ONE SEDONA RESIDENT SHOULD BE OK WITH THAT. rd
