The Santa Cruz County's DNA Lab Tenant Improvement was a 1,700 SF renovation project located within the Santa Cruz County Sheriff’s Headquarters, enhancing crime-solving capabilities.
As part of a State of California initiative to fund various local criminal justice, mental health, and social service initiatives, the County of Santa Cruz received time-sensitive funding to embark on a groundbreaking project to establish a state-of-the-art DNA lab at the Santa Cruz County Sheriff’s Office. This facility aims to support crime victims and their families and accelerate time-sensitive investigations. The initiative addressed the critical need for faster DNA evidence processing, significantly reducing turnaround times.
Recipient of the 2024 Award of Excellence in Job Order Contracting, Bogard assisted as Owner's Representative during the construction phase of the project.
