West High School: Physical Education Classroom Building

The Kern Union High School District is forecasting the construction of a new classroom building at West High School in Bakersfield, California, specifically designated for physical education use. Located at 1200 New Stine Rd., Bakersfield, CA 93309, the project is classified as a minor addition under California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Section 15314, which exempts it from extensive environmental review because it does not increase original student capacity by more than 25% or add more than ten classrooms. The notice of exemption was filed on July 24, 2025, and the forecast was posted publicly on July 25, 2025. Randall Rowles, Director of Facilities, is listed as the primary point of contact for the project, with provided phone and email information for inquiries. Although the project is formally identified as a forecast rather than a solicitation or award, it indicates an upcoming procurement for construction services. No contract value, pricing details, payment terms, invoicing methods, accounting codes, or evaluation factors have been disclosed, nor are there any formal contract clauses, special requirements, or representations specified in the available documentation. The project lacks details on delivery schedules, packaging standards, inspection protocols, or technical specifications beyond the general scope of building construction. Submission of documentation for the CEQA exemption must be sent to the Office of Planning and Research in Sacramento, though no deadline or electronic filing system is stated, and no certifications, entity identifiers, or socioeconomic status information are included for prospective contractors.
