Charnock Road Elementary School Playground and Campus Exterior Upgrades

The Charnock Road Elementary School Playground and Campus Exterior Upgrades Project involves the replacement of approximately 94,000 square feet of existing paving in the main and kindergarten playgrounds with new solar-reflective surfacing, alongside the installation of modern playground equipment, removal of relocatable buildings, and creation of an outdoor learning environment. Comprehensive campus enhancements include greening and landscaping, privacy fencing, exterior painting of school buildings, and critical infrastructure upgrades to sanitary sewer, storm drainage, and accessibility systems to ensure full compliance with ADA standards. The project is scoped to adhere strictly to the Los Angeles Unified School District’s Standard Conditions of Approval, adopted in December 2023, which mandate environmental protections such as nesting bird surveys during tree removal months, pre-construction soil testing for contamination, geotechnical evaluations by licensed professionals, underground storage system assessments, and construction waste recycling. All work must comply with CEQA Guidelines Sections 15301, 15302, and 15304, South Coast AQMD Rule 1466, and District Specification 01 4524 governing soil management and material transport. The project budget of $11,208,254, approved by the LAUSD Board of Education on March 12, 2024, covers all aspects of the scope and is subject to site-specific inspections conducted by LAUSD’s Office of Environmental Health and Safety, with formal acceptance occurring at the campus location. Public access to the upgraded playground outside school hours is required under the Civic Center Act, ensuring community benefit. The project is classified under NAICS code 237990, and while detailed contract line items, evaluation factors, or award criteria are not provided, the primary point of contact for contractual and environmental compliance matters is Christy Wong, CEQA Project Manager, who serves as the designated liaison for all project-related inquiries and oversight.
