The Service Center provides the space, equipment, and materials necessary for the maintenance of all utilities, streets, fleet, parks, and open space.
9/17/2026 - Passage of ordinance for bond sales moves project forward
At their Sept. 15 meeting, City Council passed Ordinance No. 16, Series 2026 on second reading, authorizing the issuance of general obligation bonds. Proceeds from the bond sales will reimburse dollars already spent on the Service Center project and provide new funds for the next phases of the renovation.
Working with the design-build partnership of D2C and BBD, plans include a new building that will support fleet storage, large equipment bays, and office space for multiple work teams. Existing areas will receive major and minor renovations, such as improved flooring, lighting, insulation, and better‑organized storage. These changes will help staff work more safely and efficiently.
Site preparation began recently. You may see work like soil testing and surveying. The project team are updating cost estimates while refining the design. Next steps include outreach to nearby residents to share upcoming changes to the site and access points.
City Council will approve the final design-build contract with D2C and BBD at a future meeting, along with a budget request once bond funds are available in November.

Cost Estimate
Timeline
Restructure and renovate the building's interior to improve efficiencies, enhance staff safety, and expand the building’s fleet maintenance bays and storage facilities.
$6 million for design, construction, and other associated costs.
6 months of design and 12 months of construction.
The services provided by the Service Center are crucial to maintaining a high quality of life, ensuring safety, and providing convenience for all Lafayette residents. The Service Center provides the space, equipment, and materials necessary for the maintenance of all utilities, streets, fleet, parks, and open space. Improvements to this facility would:
Enlarge fleet bay areas to accommodate fire engines, snowplows, and large equipment to reduce City vehicle downtime for maintenance and repairs.
Update the electrical system to provide electrification for electric vehicle (EV) chargers, diagnostic equipment, HVAC systems, lighting, and other technologies.
Modernize basic workspaces and expand personnel areas such as showers, bathrooms, and cleaning stations for staff working in unsanitary conditions.
Expand storage space to avoid outdoor storage and extend the lifespan of equipment stored at the site, including snowplows.
Facility improvements would reduce building operating costs by improving energy efficiency, reduce premature damage to equipment currently stored outside, and increase operational efficiencies by co-locating similar maintenance functions currently located throughout the City.
In its current condition, the Service Center lacks basic energy efficiency and environmental stewardship measures. Portions of the building do not have insulation, the aging building systems consistently fail, and the site suffers from poor drainage, resulting in building flooding and potential safety hazards and environmental concerns.
Additionally, the City is currently transitioning to an EV fleet but the transition is limited by electrical capacity at the Service Center, which is the central hub for fleet operations. The proposed renovations include right-sizing the electrical capacity serving the site to further support the transition to EVs.
