Nutrition and Maintenance Building Project

The Paradise Unified School District is undertaking the reconstruction of a nutrition and maintenance building destroyed in the 2018 Camp Fire, with the new structure located on the same site at 610 Pearson Road in Paradise, California. The replacement facility will be a 5,454-square-foot metal building featuring a 976-square-foot overhang, designed to replicate the original building’s functions as a hub for storage, office space, utility equipment, and training. The project includes comprehensive site improvements such as ADA-compliant parking with nine stalls (eight standard and one van-accessible), two bicycle parking spaces, concrete walkways, and new asphalt paving. Plumbing upgrades will connect the building’s wastewater to an existing tank via a new pump and control panel installed on the west side of the structure, while mechanical, electrical, and utility systems will be fully installed to restore full operational capacity. Construction is scheduled to begin in October 2025 and conclude by June 2026, with all work confined to the project site and conducted in accordance with local noise regulations to minimize disruption to campus operations. The project will not increase the district’s student population and is being executed as an emergency reconstruction under California Environmental Quality Act exemptions, including statutory exemption for emergency repairs and categorical exemptions for replacement and new construction. While the project is being managed by the Paradise Unified School District under emergency rebuilding authorities, no formal federal procurement structure applies, and thus no Federal Acquisition Regulation clauses, contract types, pricing details, or competitive solicitation data are included or required. The primary documentation centers on environmental compliance and regulatory exemptions under CEQA rather than traditional contracting mechanisms, and no contract value, payment terms, invoicing method, or procurement oversight personnel are specified beyond the designated point of contact, David McCready, Associate Superintendent, Business Services. No UEI, CAGE, socioeconomic certifications, or contractor representations are part of the documentation, as this is not a federal procurement but rather a state-level public agency rebuild approved under emergency conditions. All construction activities, inspections, and final acceptance will occur on-site, with the district responsible for ensuring compliance with local, state, and federal regulations, as well as appropriate best management practices, without reference to technical standards such as ASTM or ICC. The project is fully funded through post-fire recovery programs, though specific appropriation codes or budget figures are not disclosed in the available materials.
