OAKHURST, California – The State of California Department of General Services has awarded F&H Construction with a $7.16 million contract to construct the new Oakhurst area office for the California Highway Patrol. 

The project, which is scheduled for completion in August of 2012, will be constructed on an existing 2 acre site, owned by the State and located along Highway 49 in Oakhurst.  The much-anticipated project will consist of a 2-story office and auto shop building, 120-foot communications tower and foundation, a single-story storage/generator/radio building, along with public & secured parking.  In addition, F&H Construction will be installing a new emergency generator with propane tanks, fire pump, and fuel island with above ground storage tank, canopy and photovoltaic system, with surrounding fencing and landscaping improvements.

Ground-breaking on this new project is anticipated within the next month.
