Project overview
Vanir provided project management services for the El Dorado County Public Safety Complex, the largest capital project the County has completed as of 2021. The five-building complex is located on 12 acres of a 30.34-acre site. It includes a public safety building with emergency operation services and a 9-1-1 dispatch center, as well as a morgue; evidence building; and an indoor, 10-lane, 50-yard shooting range and armory.
Our partnership with the County dates back to 2013, when we conducted an operational assessment and facility study of its sheriff’s facilities. The study included space programming, site selection, concept designs and cost estimates. Following this report, Vanir was instrumental in guiding the County with the preparation of a 400-plus page pre-loan application for the Public Safety Complex, which secured a low-interest, long-term loan from the United States Department of Agriculture.
