Butte Regional Operations Center
What was the Project?
BCAG and Butte Regional Transit developed a transit maintenance and operations center which also functions to house the BCAG administrative offices. It involved the acquisitions of approximately 7.5 acres surrounding the existing facility for a total facility size of 10 acres.
Why was the Project done?
The previous facility became outdated and significantly undersized upon the consolidation of all transit systems in the county in 2005. Staff began exploring funding opportunities and in early 2011 were awarded an $18 million dollar federal grant for a project to be developed.
When Was the Project Completed?
A 48 inch storm drain and extension of Aztec Drive was completed in January 2015 by Franklin Construction of Chico, CA. at approximately $1.5 million. The "onsite" project, or facility itself was completed in April of 2016 at an approximate cost of $18 million with Broward Builders of Woodland, CA. The building that formerly housed the maintenance operations was remodeled by Slater and Sons at an approximate cost of $2 million and completed in January of 2017. This currently housed the BCAG Board of Directors chambers and also has 13 office spaces.
