Salinas Police Services Headquarters

The new Salinas Police Services Headquarters building is a $56 million project for the City of Salinas. The old police station was originally constructed in 1958 and had significant structural and interior deterioration and it failed to meet their needs. The new police headquarters consists of two buildings, a two-story, 44,352 square foot building and a second, 24,878 square foot building. The facility houses all first responder functions and has been built to the highest life safety building standards for wind and seismic events. The facility includes state-of-the-art evidence storage areas, forensic laboratories, canine and bicycle officer support and a ten-station firing range.

Project Successes

The project was able to incorporate several ancillary components that were not part of the original project scope that otherwise would have needed to be funded through the City. These included street lighting, a traffic signal, curbs and gutters, and the cleanup of contaminated soil that exceeded the original contracted obligation. A portion of the City’s fiber optics installation project was also completed using project funds. All of this was done to accommodate the City’s objectives in their Alisal Market Master Plan.
Project was delivered on-time and on-budget, despite the challenges of unprecedented federal tariffs and a global pandemic.
