New District Office and Education Center Project

The Santa Rosa City Schools is undertaking the New District Office and Education Center Project at 211 Ridgway Avenue in Santa Rosa, California, to consolidate and modernize administrative, educational, and maintenance operations. The project involves demolishing existing permanent and portable structures and constructing a new two-story building with approximately 59,633 square feet of floor area on a 31,944 square foot footprint, along with renovating 6,696 square feet of existing warehouse space for the Maintenance and Operations Department. Site improvements include new parking and circulation systems, landscaping, utility upgrades, drainage enhancements, and accessibility modifications. Construction is scheduled to begin in summer 2026 with a targeted completion date of November 2027. The project is being managed under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), with the District serving as the Lead Agency, and is subject to rigorous environmental compliance requirements including stormwater management under the NPDES Construction General Permit, air quality standards set by the Bay Area Air Quality Management District, and Cal/OSHA protocols for hazardous materials like asbestos, lead, and PCBs. The contractor must implement a waste recycling plan achieving at least 50% by weight diversion, enforce fugitive dust controls requiring daily watering of exposed soils and covered haul trucks, utilize EPA Tier 4 Final compliant diesel equipment, and conduct biological surveys prior to vegetation removal during nesting season to protect migratory birds under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act. All work must adhere to the California Building Standards Code, including Title 24, CALGreen, ASCE 7-16 for seismic design, and local zoning regulations. Performance is centered at the project site with inspections and acceptance conducted by the District, and contractual obligations emphasize environmental mitigation, regulatory compliance, and operational safety without specifying a contract value or traditional federal acquisition clauses such as FAR provisions, payment offices, accounting codes, or COR/COTR appointments. The submission process for environmental documentation is governed by CEQA guidelines, with proposals due by 5:00 p.m. on July 10, 2026, to be delivered either physically to the District’s administrative office or electronically to facilities@srcs.k12.ca.us.
