The County Executive requests that capital project No. 361109, MCPS & M-NCPPC Maintenance Facilities Relocation is authorized as a "Special Capital Improvements Project" pursuant to Section §302 of the County Charter and Section §20-1 of the Montgomery County Code.

Section §302 of the County Charter and Section §20-1 of the County Code require certain capital improvement projects to be individually authorized by law if the locally-funded cost is projected to exceed $14,431,000 in FY16 dollars.

This project provides for the planning, design, and construction of MCPS & M-NCPPC Maintenance Facilities Relocation. In order to implement the County's Shady Grove Sector Plan which would capitalize on the existing investment in mass transit by creating a transit-oriented development community, the County Service Park must be relocated. Relocation of the facilities at the County Service Park will enable the County to realize both the transit-oriented development intended for the area and address unmet needs.

This project has been coordinated with the Department of General Services, Department of Transportation, Montgomery County Public Schools, Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission, Department of Permitting Services, Department of Finance, Department of Technology Services, Office of Management and Budget, Washington Suburban Sanitary Commission, Pepco, Upcounty Regional Services Center, and Washington Gas.
