Transportation Huntington Transit Center; Kennewick, WA
Mr. Hall provided preliminary and final design, permitting, bidding assistance, and construction inspection services to Ben Franklin Transit for the project. The Transit Center is a paved transfer station with the capacity to accommodate up to 10 forty-foot buses and has approximately fifty off-street parking stalls. Preliminary design activities included the development of five alternative site layout plans, a discussion of their respective advantages and disadvantages, and selection of the preferred plan. Special consideration was given to abatement of the noise generated by buses leaving the transit center simultaneously. The acoustical subconsultant, R & W Engineering, formulated a design with an earthen berm and retaining wall to limit the noise impact to the adjoining residential property. Final plans and specifications were delivered ahead of schedule, and the low construction bid was 7% below the engineer's estimate. |
