Beaufort County | Sheriff's Office Warehouse Upfit | Phase 1

The project is located at 2727 Depot Road, Beaufort, South Carolina 29902 , within an existing Beaufort County facility that is jointly occupied by the Beaufort County Sheriff's Office Evidence Warehouse and Beaufort County Emergency Medical Services (EMS) . The proposed work is focused on the Sheriff's Office warehouse area while maintaining the building's existing use and accommodating continued County operations at the shared facility. The construction documents identify an approximately 5,869-square-foot project area and confirm that the project does not change the building's existing occupancy or use. The project is intended to improve the functionality, separation, environmental conditions, and overall condition of the Sheriff's Office Evidence Warehouse. Improvements include construction of a new fire-rated interior separation wall, modifications to existing mechanical and electrical systems, installation of a new electrical subpanel, insulation and interior finish improvements, exterior metal wall panel repairs, and floor coating. Existing systems and building components are to remain wherever practical and be reconfigured to support the new layout. Because the facility is an existing, co-occupied County building , successful project delivery will require careful coordination of construction activities, field verification of existing conditions, protection of existing building systems, and coordination among multiple trades. Contractors should plan their work to minimize impacts to ongoing Sheriff's Office and EMS operations and maintain safe and controlled access to occupied portions of the facility throughout construction. A successful project will provide Beaufort County with a durable, functional, code-compliant, and professionally finished Evidence Warehouse space , while minimizing disruption to County operations and effectively coordinating architectural, mechanical, electrical, and building-envelope improvements within the existing facility.
