Centennial High School Modernization Project

The Compton Unified School District is advancing the Centennial High School Modernization Project, a comprehensive campus redevelopment initiative scheduled to occur in phases between August 2026 and August 2030. The project involves the demolition of existing permanent and portable structures and the construction of new academic, administrative, athletic, and support facilities, including a new administration building, academic wing, performing arts center, gymnasium, aquatic center, dining and career technical education facility, field house, and upgraded athletic fields. Additional improvements will encompass new parking lots, landscape enhancements, circulation systems, utility upgrades, accessibility features, and stormwater management infrastructure. The project is located at 2606 North Central Avenue, Compton, California, with all work taking place on-site. The lead agency is the Compton Unified School District, with key contacts including Shannon Soto, Ed.D., Chief Administrative Officer, and Barbara Heyman, Principal Environmental Planner at Terraphase Engineering, who oversee coordination and environmental compliance. Specialized contract requirements govern environmental, biological, cultural, and tribal resource protections, including mandatory pre-construction surveys for nesting birds and bats with adherence to avoidance buffers, the immediate cessation of work upon discovery of archaeological or tribal cultural resources, and the mandatory presence of an approved Native American Monitor from the Gabrieleño Band of Mission Indians – Kizh Nation during all ground-disturbing activities. Contaminated soils containing arsenic, lead, asbestos, and PCBs must be removed and disposed of offsite under strict dust control and documentation protocols. Environmental analysis services are integral to the project, with laboratory testing conducted in compliance with EPA methods and NELAP accreditation standards, and samples must be transported under specific preservation and labeling guidelines per Chain of Custody procedures. While specific contract value, pricing structure, or evaluation criteria are not fully defined in the provided information, the project encompasses multiple line-item environmental testing services with documented costs, and special clauses bind contractors to rigorous compliance with state and federal environmental regulations, as well as tribal sovereignty protocols. The place of performance is explicitly identified, and all deliveries and inspections occur on-site, with no external shipping or FOB terms applicable. The project is structured under a special-notice procurement type, with submissions potentially accepted via email to AmeriSci Los Angeles, though a formal deadline and proposal format are not specified.
