The US Army Corp. of Engineers has awarded Precision Construction Services a new Design-Build contract for the renovation of a Naval Criminal Investigative Service (NCIS) facility located at the Port Hueneme Naval Base in Ventura County.

The NCIS facility was originally built in 1998 and will now be undergoing a partial overhaul of the second story, approximately 6,500 SF. The project will be broken into (2) phases of construction in order to maintain occupancy of the space. The first phase will include the renovation of the NCIS lobby, (2) interview rooms, a technology room, fingerprinting room, administration area, mail storage room, evidence storage, evidence processing rooms and (6) separate cubicle areas. The second phase of the project will include the renovation of the Arms, Ammunition & Explosives room, the conference room, (2) offices, and (5) separate cubicle areas.Both phases of the project will require extensive demolition, new electrical, fire suppression, communication and security systems.

Ryan Swenson, Construction Division Manager had this to say about the new project: “We are excited to have the opportunity to work with a new client like the Army Corps of Engineers and the NCIS. We hope that our work can speak for itself, and we can further this working relationship for more projects in the future.”

The project is expected to have design complete by the end of December and construction starting in the new year.
