The Potomac and Rappahannock Transportation Commission (PRTC), located in Virginia about 25 miles southwest of Washington, D.C., provides commuter bus service along the I-95 and I-66 corridors, and local bus services in Prince William County. Wendel was retained to review and verify a previous conceptual design, perform preliminary engineering, obtain site plans and permit approvals, and advance the project through final design and construction. PRTC made the decision early on to procure the project through Construction Manager at Risk (CMAR).
Located just off of I-66, PRTC’s Western Bus Facility will service approximately 120 buses. The project would complement the existing facility in the county’s eastern section. Wendel identified modifications to the facility layout that reduce construction costs through a coordinated value engineering effort with the CMAR at the 60% design stage.
In addition, a new lighting plan was developed for the bus storage area as well as a revised layout for the service bays. Wendel also performed a traffic impact study at the request of Prince William County to ensure that constructing the facility would not result in performance failure at a nearby intersection and an interchange on the busy Prince William Parkway. Clark Construction was selected as the CMAR and worked with Wendel as well as the owner, PRTC, to complete the project on schedule and within budget. Battery Electric Bus (BEB) charging infrastructure was included in the design for future bus replacement.
