Department of Animal Care and Control Downey Kennels 1 and 2 Cage Refurbishment Project

The Department of Animal Care and Control Downey Kennels 1 and 2 Cage Refurbishment Project, identified as Capital Project 87959, is a construction effort managed by the Los Angeles County Internal Services Department. The project focuses on refurbishing existing kennels and updating the path of travel to ensure compliance with building codes and accessibility guidelines. The primary objectives are to enhance safety and security systems and replace deteriorated, obsolete, or hazardous materials. This work is classified as repairs and minor alterations to existing public facilities with no significant expansion of use. The project was approved by the County of Los Angeles Board of Supervisors on July 8, 2025, following a previous approval in April 2023. The updated approval was necessary to address a budget increase and a revised scope of work resulting from unforeseen conditions, construction cost escalation, and jurisdictional requirements for accessibility compliance. The performance of the work is located at 11258 Garfield Avenue, Downey, California 90242. Michael Eugene serves as the primary point of contact for the project.
