Plasencia Elementary School Playground and Campus Exterior Upgrades

The Project will replace approximately 38,000 square feet of paving in two main playgrounds and two kindergarten playgrounds with new asphalt paving with solar reflective coating. The scope of work also includes greening and landscaping throughout the Campus, along with privacy fencing and exterior painting of buildings as needed. Additionally, the Project will provide infrastructure upgrades including underground utilities and accessibility upgrades (Figure 1). The Los Angeles Unified School District Board of Education approved the Project's budget of $10,074,344 on February 29, 2024. The Project will be implemented pursuant to all applicable State, federal, and local regulations, and all applicable LAUSD specifications, standards, and/or guidelines, including those in compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the updated Standard Conditions of Approval for District Construction, Upgrade, and Improvements Projects (SCs) as adopted by the Board of Education in December 2023. LAUSD’s SCs, design guidelines, and best management practices are designed to be incorporated into the Project design in order to avoid or limit potential adverse impacts associated with the District’s projects. The beneficiaries of the Project include Plasencia ES students, faculty, staff, families, school supporters, and the community at large who may request access to the playground pursuant to the Civic Center Act (CA Ed. Code Sections 38130 -38139).
