 Description:

The Office of Capital Programs has identified various capital projects at multiple school locations based on the capital budget call and the facilities assessment report. The projects recommended for contract award were identified in the approved FY21 capital budget. The projects were publicly advertised and the lowest responsible bidders are recommended for contract award. The District design, construction, and project management teams have developed a site specific construction phasing plan in collaboration with principals and contractors for the site improvements. This plan ensures adequate time and sufficient swing space has been identified for the safety of students and staff. The work will be monitored daily by an inspector, project manager and construction manager to ensure the contractors meet the established budget and schedule. This work is in support of the Operations Division goal of providing a safe and healthy learning environment for all students.
