About the Project
The Contra Costa County Emergency Operations Center (EOC) is a new, two-story state-of-the-art headquarters for the Contra Costa County Sheriff. The EOC building was built to be functionally self-sufficient for seven days in an emergency, allowing it to run completely independent from the grid, operating on its own electrical, water and sewer systems.
A 750-kW generator, fed by an underground fuel tank, enables the facility to operate independently for up to seven days. Water resilience is achieved through a 50,000-gallon potable water tank and a 35,000-gallon fire water tank, while a 12,000-gallon sanitary sewer holding tank ensures continued operation of building systems even in the event of utility failure. In addition, the project relocated the existing photovoltaic array and expanded its capacity, with new solar panels and battery systems bringing the total renewable energy capability to 162 kW.
