| | | | | | | | | | Description:
The Office of Capital Programs requests additional time and funding for professional landscape architectural and civil engineering design services. The additional time and funding is necessary to complete the work, which was delayed due to setbacks and delays related to the pandemic and Covid-19 restrictions beginning in the spring of 2020. The amendment will allow for the implementation and completion of site, stormwater management and playground projects. To expedite this process, utilization of a pool of qualified firms is the most efficient way for the District to complete landscape architecture and civil engineering design services. The approved firms' services will be evaluated based on their ability to meet project milestones and remain within the project timelines. The work is in support of the Operations Division goal to provide a safe, healthy and welcoming learning environment for all students.
Guardrail 1: Welcoming and Supportive Schools - Every school will be a safe, welcoming and healthy place where our students, staff and community want to be and learn each day.
