The Capital Improvements Division of Facility Services is
responsible for the design and construction of all Placer County
facilities.
Cabin Creek Department of Public Works Operations and
Maintenance Facility
Construction is under way for the new Department of Public Works
Operations and Maintenance Facility at Cabin Creek. This project
will provide for the consolidation of the County’s Tahoe-area
Public Works Road Maintenance and Operations and TART Transit
operations at one location. Currently, TART is located at Cabin
Creek, and DPW operates from Burton Creek Drive, off Highway
28.
The new facility will provide two, pre-engineered metal
buildings — a 12,832 square foot maintenance building and a
3,307 square foot sand storage building. Parking for staff and
facility equipment will also be on-site. The estimated total
project cost is $8.9 million. In order to provide timely and
efficient snow removal, the County will stage equipment at a number
of locations in the Tahoe area.

Relocation of the DPW to Cabin Creek will allow for the design
and development of the Burton Creek site for the new Burton Creek
Justice Center.
Burton Creek Justice Center
A new Justice Center is currently in the early stages of
architectural programming and design. This new center will be built
on the land that becomes available once the DPW Operations and
Maintenance Facility is completed at Cabin Creek. The new Justice
Center will provide Tahoe area residents with a facility for public
safety and justice services through 2030 and beyond.
Planning for this project will occur over the next 3-5 years.
The design concept includes combining the following services into
one location: sheriff, administration, patrol, investigations, 911
dispatch, 8-bed type II jail, minimum security inmate house,
district attorney, probation and one trial court with associated
support.
The project phasing is anticipated to allow for the continued
operation of the existing facility during the construction of the
new Justice Center. Upon completion, the original building will be
demolished to provide appropriate parking for the new facility.
The project is currently in the preliminary design phase, so check
