Toyota Paint Shop HP Pump Installation

Toyota Motor Manufacturing registered a $155,000 renovation project with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR) in April 2019. The work, filed as the Toyota Paint Shop HP Pump Installation, covers 4,950 square feet at 1 Lone Star Pass in San Antonio’s South Side. The scope involves providing fire protection for a newly installed high-pressure (HP) pump and two existing HP pumps, along with a blasting booth. Electrical and plumbing piping extensions support this equipment.

Project Scope and Design

Cleary Zimmermann Engineers serves as the design firm of record for this privately funded project. The filing specifies that the renovation includes extending electrical and plumbing systems to support the HP pumps and blasting booth. This infrastructure upgrade is part of a broader effort to maintain and enhance the manufacturing facility’s operational capabilities. The project is situated on private land for private use, distinct from public infrastructure improvements.

The estimated cost of $155,000 places this project below the median estimated cost of $250,000 for renovation and alteration filings in Bexar County. The scheduled build window of 35 days is shorter than the county median of 103 days. The cost per square foot is $31, which is below the county median of $85. These figures reflect a focused, efficient scope of work rather than a large-scale expansion.

Construction Status and Records

TDLR completed plan review in April 2019, and construction was scheduled to finish in June 2019. However, TDLR has not yet recorded a final inspection, so the current state of the site is not confirmed in the public record. The project remains in a status where the final completion is not verified through the licensing agency’s records. This lack of a final inspection record means that while the scheduled completion date has passed, the official confirmation of the work’s completion is absent from the TDLR database.

Toyota Motor MFG TX INC, the owner of record, has two other TDLR-registered projects in San Antonio totaling $2,000,000. One project, Toyota Motor Manufacturing Texas, is marked as inspection complete, while the other, Toyota Vehicle Logistics Services, is closed. The design firm, Cleary Zimmermann Engineers, has worked on six other projects totaling $6,621,671, including various libraries and educational facilities in the San Antonio area. This indicates a consistent relationship between the owner and the design firm for infrastructure and facility improvements.
