VCPWA’s Engineering Services administers a wide range of services, including managing consultant and construction contracts issued on all Public Works Agency projects. They also oversee all vertical construction projects for the county, land development, surveying, and mapping. Some current projects our engineers are working on are the following:
Ojai Fire Station
This project has constructed an 8,070 square-foot, single-story fire station with associated improvements on a 2.16-acre vacant land site for the Ventura County Fire Department. The fire station includes two pass-through engine bays, an office, fitness areas, living quarters for four firefighting personnel, and a garage. Today, this Fire Station is open to serve our community.
Fillmore Library Expansion
The current library space is too small to meet the community’s growing needs; the proposed expansion adds 2,500 square feet to the existing 3,000 square foot library building. Included in the addition are a meeting room, innovation lab, community classroom, reading room, computer lab, two new study rooms, and restrooms. The library expansion will finish in the Fall of 2022.
Todd Road Jail HPU
The new Ventura County Todd Road Jail Health and Programing Unit is being built on a site adjacent to the existing Ventura County Todd Road Jail facility. This 64-bed expansion offers a holistic approach to treatment for inmate-patients with medical and mental health needs. The facility will have a dedicated clinic located adjacent to housing, and it will include both medical and dental exams and associated staff support. The new unit will open in the spring of 2023.
