Spokane Central Service Center

Challenge Design-Build Project Delivery Addressed

The City of Spokane chose design-build to speed construction time, maintain better control over costs, and in order to consolidate fleet and solid waste functions, which was contemplated since 1983. The cost-effective, and achievable plan provided by a design-build approach enabled the project to finally move ahead.

Summary

The Spokane Central Service Center is a consolidated Fleet Maintenance and Solid Waste Facility for the City of Spokane, Washington. The project was designed to create operational efficiency, savings, and is the city’s first design-build project. Design-build was chosen to speed construction and control costs to meet consolidation functions identified since 1983. A thorough, yet revised plan with a design-build approach at the center was able to achieve this result.
