San Bernardino County is embarking on the development of a new Department of Public Works (DPW) Headquarter, a modern and efficient facility to serve as an operational hub for County’s critical infrastructure management functions. The project will encompass a 75,455 GSF headquarters building, strategically designed to accommodate current and future needs that optimize functionality, sustainability and healthy workplace environments while maintaining the highest standards of quality in alignment with County requirements. The Project includes the retention of the existing 5,425 GSF Fleet Maintenance Administration building, reinforcing the continuity of Fleet Maintenance operations while integrating it into the broader campus vision. Recognizing the need for flexibility and adaptability, the County is interested in identifying opportunities for future campus growth through appropriate planning to support the County's existing and evolving needs on this campus. To ensure operational excellence and alignment with County goals, the Project will adopt a Progressive Design-Build delivery method, emphasizing collaboration, cost efficiency, and accelerated timelines. A key component of this initiative is the development of a comprehensive master plan for the DPW campus. This plan will holistically optimize the campus layout, including the integration of the new Public Works building and demolition of the existing building, EV charging infrastructure and code mandates, parking needs, and current/future Fleet Maintenance operations, with a focus on maintaining operational continuity throughout the construction process. The master plan will also prioritize adaptability, ensuring the campus can respond to technological advancements and operational shifts over time. The DPW Headquarters building itself will reflect the County’s commitment to: • Efficiency and Flexibility: The design will incorporate adaptable and multi-functional spaces that enhance workflow and foster collaboration. • Sustainability: Durable, efficient and environmentally conscious materials will be used, supporting the County’s sustainability goals. • Innovation: Integration of modern systems and facilities to meet current operational demands while anticipating future needs. • Timely Delivery: Leveraging the progressive design-build approach to meet program and budget requirements in the shortest possible timeframe.
