Central Shops Replacement Facilities

Project Vision

San Francisco, CA

The Central Shops Replacement Facilities Project was developed to relocate San Francisco’s Fleet Management Division into two modern maintenance facilities designed to improve operational efficiency, resilience, and collaboration across City agencies. The project replaced aging facilities with state-of-the-art workspaces that support medium- and heavy-duty vehicle maintenance, light-duty vehicle repair, and critical fleet operations. Through innovative design, modern infrastructure, and interagency collaboration, the project provides a long-term operational hub that supports essential City services and emergency response functions.

JBR Partners, Inc. provided partnering and stakeholder engagement support for the Central Shops Replacement Facilities Project. Beginning with a kickoff partnering session in July 2016, JBR facilitated a series of structured partnering workshops that brought together project owners, contractors, consultants, and key stakeholders to establish shared goals, strengthen communication, and address project challenges collaboratively. Through multiple partnering sessions conducted throughout design and construction, as well as a closeout session in July 2018, JBR helped maintain alignment, foster accountability, and support the successful delivery of the City’s new fleet maintenance facilities. The project’s collaborative approach contributed to an award-winning partnership recognized for its effective coordination, transparency, and commitment to project success.
