The Metropolitan Transportation Network is an expanding private business that provides bus services for several school districts.  To meet customer needs, a Minneapolis hub was desired to reduce response times and cut down on fuel costs.  A 2.1-acre site was chosen on an existing industrial zoned parcel.  Converting this parcel to a bus parking and maintenance facility required parking lot reconstruction and stormwater management facilities design.

Rani Engineering designed and produced plans, specifications and a cost estimate for a bituminous parking lot and filtration basins.

Professional services included:

• Designing the lot layout to maximize bus parking stalls within site constraints while maintaining City green space requirements.
• Designing a stormwater filtration basin to meet MPCA stormwater management standards sites performing fueling operations.
• Preparing a stormwater management plan for submission to the City of Minneapolis for permit compliance.
• Preparing a stormwater pollution prevention plan (SWPPP) for submission to MPCA to obtain permits.
• Construction plans and engineer’s cost estimate.
• Constructing staking of civil site features.
