California School for the Deaf-Riverside: Athletic Complex Replacement and Expansion Project

The California School for the Deaf-Riverside: Athletic Complex Replacement and Expansion Project involves a comprehensive overhaul of athletic facilities at the Riverside campus to enhance safety, accessibility, and functionality while meeting Title IX requirements. The project includes replacing all existing natural grass fields with new synthetic fields for football, soccer, baseball, and softball, along with demolishing and reconstructing the decomposed granite track into a modern 8-lane all-weather track. Additional infrastructure improvements encompass new lighting, bleachers, dugouts, batting and pitching cages, field event areas for shot put, long jump, high jump, and discus, drinking fountains, electronic scoreboards, a press booth, a scorekeeper’s booth, and a canopy of photovoltaic panels over the bleachers. Support facilities such as restrooms, a concession stand, a ticket booth building, and equipment storage will be constructed, alongside new pathways, expanded vehicle parking, updated fencing, and renovated landscaping with improved irrigation systems. All work is centered on ensuring equitable access and year-round usability for student-athletes. The project is administered by the California Department of Education, Special Schools Division, with Stephanie Coleman serving as the primary point of contact for environmental compliance and project oversight. Although no formal contract value is disclosed, environmental compliance under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) is a central requirement, mandating the submission of a Notice of Determination to the State Clearinghouse and the Riverside County Clerk, along with supporting documentation including a No Effect Determination from the California Department of Fish and Wildlife and proof of payment for environmental filing fees. The project’s place of performance is clearly identified as the CSDR campus in Riverside, California, with all construction, installation, and improvement activities occurring on-site. No federal acquisition regulation clauses, contract types, evaluation factors, or federal certification requirements are applicable, as the procurement is governed entirely by state-level environmental and administrative procedures within California’s public infrastructure framework. Submission deadlines and contact information are provided for environmental filings, but no detailed performance schedule, delivery terms, or invoicing mechanisms are specified, reflecting a focus on regulatory approval rather than traditional contract management.
