The Contra Costa County (CCC)Admin Building and Jail Demo & Redevelopment (ADR) has all but wrapped up the interior side and is now resolving all outstanding punch list items in the race to final completion. Soon, we’ll begin handing over the keys to selected rooms--an exciting sign of final turnover--before the County starts delivering their permanent office furniture.

The car stacker system is now fully operational within the garage space. Moving outside, we’re proud to say that the unforeseen underground storage tank has safely and successfully been removed. We’ve been working diligently to make up for the time lost to this delay. The last of the utility work was completed in February, and the remaining concrete pavement and pavers have all been installed, resulting in a substantially complete Pine Street walk/roadway.

Serving as the centerpieces of our courtyard, five 40-year-old olive trees have been successfully delivered and planted. Site furnishings have all been installed as well, including light poles, benches, bike racks, and gameboard tables. Punch for the site is scheduled within the next week.

Also worth a shout-out: As part of our team's sustainability and gritty frugality efforts, we’ve successfully transferred our site fence over to the UCSF NHPH job! After standing in Martinez for more than two years, these plywood walls will continue to be used in San Francisco for years to come.
