Marion Transit Center

Hillsborough Area Regional Transit Authority (HART) implemented the Marion Transit Center (MTC) Improvements project to develop the existing parking lot facilities for HART employees and provide access for the public to the newly constructed MetroRapid Marion Transit Center Bus Station platform. In October of 2013, DNCC was awarded the contract by HART to perform the development services for the existing MTC parking facilities. Our scope of work included the maintenance of traffic, lane closures, clearing and demolition, earthwork, utility relocations, 231 LF of sanitary sewer utility lining, storm drainage, paving limestone base material (2,005 Tons), asphalt paving installation (118.15 Tons), concrete paving installation, curbs, sidewalks, concrete pads, bike racks, trash receptacles, landscaping, irrigation, signage, pavement markings, generator enclosure, generator installation, electrical services and lighting. One major aspect of the project included the installation of an emergency generator for the existing Marion Transit Center. This improvement allows HART to operate the MTC in an emergency state, to provide services to the public for whatever situation might arise. This ability also allows the MTC to operate as a “Command Center” in the event of one of these emergency situations might arise. This project involved obtaining separate right of way, road closure and electrical permits from the City of Tampa. Despite a few delays due to permitting issues, we were able to meet the required dates and HART was able to open the newly improved MTC Parking Lot Facilities to their employees and public in March of 2014.
