Introduction Kittitas County Department of Public Works (KCDPW) provides planning, design and maintenance services to County residents for numerous assets on the County Road and Bridge transportation network. The maintenance division of Public Works controls various assets in the Public Works portfolio such as maintenance facilities (shops) and aggregate pits and quarries. All Road Fund assets are managed within the County's Equipment Rental and Replacement Fund (Fund 501). Owing to structural damage to the Upper County Shop in 2015 (Cle Elum), the shop is being replaced by a new maintenance facility whose construction completion is anticipated in late 2021. The Lower County Shop (Ellensburg) is under increasing pressure from urbanization and discussions are currently underway to relocate the facility to the new Transfer Station (Solid Waste) site on Highway 97. Land acquisition is programmed for 2022. Subsequent project actions are listed in EXHIBIT l. Current Assets Described Upper Countv Maintenance Shop (Cle Elum.
