Sylvan Park Early Education Center Outdoor Classroom and Campus Upgrade

The Sylvan Park Early Education Center Outdoor Classroom and Campus Upgrade project involves a comprehensive renovation of the existing campus to create an accessible, functional outdoor learning environment and enhance critical infrastructure. The scope includes reconfiguring the playground into distinct activity areas with new paving, playground matting, equipment, and landscaping, alongside essential upgrades to the Children’s Center and Modular Classroom Buildings such as new HVAC units, roofing, and exterior painting. The project also entails significant improvements to the fire alarm system and utilities, with full compliance with Americans with Disabilities Act standards applied to all areas including accessible paths of travel, parking, doors, signage, restrooms, and a drinking water station. The total approved budget for the project is $6,101,559, as authorized by the Los Angeles Unified School District Board of Education on May 7, 2024. All work must adhere to LAUSD’s Standard Conditions of Approval, adopted in December 2023, as well as District Specifications, South Coast Air Quality Management District Rule 1466, and applicable state, federal, and local regulations. Environmental compliance is governed by CEQA categorical exemptions, with specific requirements for tree removal notification, nesting bird surveys, soil testing, and immediate reporting of discovered cultural or hazardous materials. Construction waste must be recycled per sustainability guidelines, and the project site must remain accessible to the community under the Civic Center Act. The place of performance is the Sylvan Park EEC campus at 15011 Delano Street in Los Angeles, and oversight responsibilities reside with LAUSD’s Office of Environmental Health and Safety, with Christy Wong serving as the primary project contact. No formal solicitation or contract number is provided, suggesting an internal agency project managed under regulatory and district compliance frameworks rather than a competitive procurement.
