Renovation Nearly Complete on Burbank Police and Jail

The finishing touches on the Burbank Police and Fire Headquarters may be completed early next year, according to a city official. Renovations began nearly three years ago on the facility.
Bonnie Teaford, Public Works Director, is optimistic that the final phase of the renovation will be wrapping up in March 2012, with a total estimated cost of $9.5 million.
Repairs to the facility took place in 2000, nearly two years after it opened, due to water damage. Water leaks were discovered in the firefighter locker area, as well as the parking garage, front stairs, and other areas. The floors in various areas were also found to be too thin and in need of repair. This necessitated removing and replacing the limestone flooring.
The original contractor for the facility, Kajima Construction Services, had a suit filed against it by the City of Burbank, which alleged that the company did substandard work. Kajima settled with the city in August 2008 for $3.16 million, along with $475,000 from WLC Architects.
Burbank Bail Bonds at Glendale Police Department
The current project also included removing the concrete from the floor of the Burbank Jail. This made it necessary for the Burbank police to take suspects to the Glendale jail for booking. Having to travel such a distance eats into officers’ call response times.
Additionally, Burbank jail staff work at the Glendale Police Department. When a bondsman arrives to post bail, the bondsman needs to inform staff if it is for Burbank bail bonds or Glendale bail bonds and the appropriate jailer accepts the bail bond. It seems this could be done more efficiently, but for whatever reason, this is the system in place.
