Measure E Series 4 - Building Expansion Project at Northwood High School

The Irvine Unified School District is proceeding with a minor expansion of the existing gymnasium at Northwood High School under Measure E Series 4, classified as a categorical exemption under the California Environmental Quality Act due to the project’s limited scale—adding fewer than 10 classrooms and resulting in a less than 25 percent increase in student capacity. The project is located at 4515 Portola Parkway in Irvine, California, with the Facilities Planning and Construction Services Department serving as the lead agency, and final approval documented through a certified exemption finding. The Notice of Exemption was signed on September 11, 2025, and posted publicly on October 1, 2025, with submissions required to be filed physically by the same deadline either with the Office of Planning and Research in Sacramento or the Orange County Clerk’s Office, indicating a non-electronic, paper-based compliance process. There is no identified contract number, solicitation, pricing, or formal procurement structure, as the documentation reflects environmental compliance rather than a traditional contracting action, and no federal acquisition regulations or FAR clauses apply. The Northwood High School project is funded through local educational infrastructure funds, with no federal financial identifiers, appropriation codes, or invoicing systems referenced, and administrative oversight is managed by the district’s Assistant Superintendent of Business Services and the Executive Director of Facilities and Construction, though no formal contracting officers or technical representatives are named. All performance, inspection, and acceptance will occur on-site with compliance tied exclusively to CEQA exemptions and local building regulations, with no technical specifications, quality standards, or delivery schedules detailed in the available records.
