Demolition, site work and addition to a pre-engineered storage facility in Bakersfield, California. Conceptual plans call for the addition of a 1,700-square-foot pre-engineered storage facility.

Expand Police Property and Evidence Facility: This $1,750,000 project funds the expansion of the Police property and evidence facility which has exceeded the physical capacity for the current needs of our organization. The facility is the or physical evidence and items seized for safekeeping. This includes firearms, various narcotics, cold-storage evidence (biological), and all other items related to various crimes and investigations. Staff is unable to properly store and catalog items per industry standards due to increases in the volume of evidence; advancements and nature of criminal investigations; and required lengthy retention periods required of the evidence. This existing building was designed for future expansion to increase square footage. There is room to extend the southern end of the building. Project would also extend the existing prefabricated warehouse storage building to increase square footage by approximately 1,700 square feet. As part of the Space Needs Study, a specialty consultant assessed the facility storage needs and recommended a shelving solution specifically designed for this industry. This shelving solution consists of high-density modular shelving units which maximize useable space. This solution is estimated to increase storage capacity by 171% in the main warehouse, 133% in the firearms room, and 43% in the narcotics room alone.
