Summary:

The City’s South Service Center at 1100 SW Green Oaks
Blvd. includes administrative and customer services offices
for Water Utilities, field offices for Public Works, site for
materials storage and heavy equipment, as well as a fleet
shop. The site is about 25.5 acres.

In May 2023, voters approved $9 million to build a new
facility for PW field operations. The existing facility is 6
modular buildings combined into one in 2007 to provide
temporary size. The facility is undersized for staff and
onsite operations. Also, the exterior includes uncovered
materials and waste storage that requires significant
maintenance to remain in compliance with state
environmental regulations. The goal is to design and build
a 13,000 square foot facility for nearly 75 field personnel
and another nearly 70,000 square feet to accommodate
employee parking, equipment parking, covered materials
storage, among other additions to facilitate operations.
Additionally, Water Utilities is assessing the site for needed
improvements.

City staff plan to develop and issue a Request for
Qualifications for an architectural/engineering firm by the
st
1 quarter of FY 2025 to create a comprehensive scope of
work. Consideration will need to be given to soil
conditions, the need for a detention pond, and space for a
future water tower on the southern side of the property
along Nathan Lowe Dr. An estimated timeline is to be
determined.
