Hanford Parole Office Lease Renewal

The California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation is planning a lease renewal and renovation project for the Hanford Parole Office located in Hanford, California. This project involves the build-out and interior renovation of approximately 10,606 square feet of office space, which includes replacing ceiling tiles, electrical fixtures, paint, carpeting, flooring, and roll-up shades. A primary focus of the project is the implementation of critical life-saving security measures designed to protect staff, parolees, and the public. These enhancements include the installation of a secured vestibule, street-side bullet-resistant window inserts, level 3 bullet-resistant reception windows and walls, live feed monitors and cameras on each interior exit door, and a comprehensive security system featuring exterior cameras, alarm keypads, and key card readers. The project has been identified as a forecast by the agency and is subject to a Notice of Exemption under CEQA Class 1, as the renovations involve negligible expansion of use and are expected to have no significant environmental impact. The contract is managed by the CDCR Division of Adult Parole and is overseen by Branch Chief Peter J. Connelly, Jr. This initiative ensures that the facility remains functional and meets necessary safety standards through modernized infrastructure and advanced security technology.
