Safety enhancements are a primary component of the contract, featuring the replacement of ladders, the installation of a new stairway, and the implementation of roof fall restraint systems. The project also requires paint touch-ups to be performed using full containment. This project is classified as exempt under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines Section 15301 as it is located within the district's property fence line. Tricia Butler, the Chief Engineer, serves as the primary point of contact for this effort.
