At this time, the District is requesting a provisional internship permit for Lizbeth Ortiz to teach special education at Sequoia School (grades 7-12), effective August 16, 2018.

Koury is the geotechnical engineer of record for the Hart High School Two-Story Modular Classroom Building Project. Koury is finalizing the geotechnical information which is being used by the structural engineer designing the footings for the building. Koury is requesting that additional soil borings be done to gain better information regarding the soil bearing capacity beneath the proposed new building. This information will be used to firm up recommendations about the soil and possibly allow the structural engineer to reduce the cost of the building foundation as currently designed.

The Saugus High School Auditorium Project is being constructed with the CM Multiple Prime delivery method with TELACU as the construction manager.  SCC is the prime contractor responsible for the concrete and paving portion of the work. The asphalt driveway in front of the new auditorium building had been in need of replacement prior to the auditorium project, but was not included in SCC’s bid package. Staff and TELACU knew that since this area was contained within the project job site, it could sustain additional damage during the course of the project and would be difficult for a contractor to estimate until the project was nearing completion. Instead of including this in the initial bid package, staff reserved project contingency funds to make this asphalt replacement later when a contractor could better estimate the scope of work.

Now that the project is nearly complete and the extent of the asphalt replacement is known, SCC has provided a cost for the asphalt replacement.

The field space between the tennis courts and the varsity baseball field at Saugus High School was used as lay-down space for the Saugus High School Auditorium Project. During this time, the field space was unusable. The irrigation system, which did not work well prior to the area being used as lay-down space, needs to be reworked, and the lawn area must be restored so that it can again be used as practice and play space for the school’s athletic, band and physical education programs.

Oasis Associates, Inc., has prepared a proposal to re-design the irrigation system, restore the field space and prepare bid documents for the work. Staff has set aside funds from the Saugus Auditorium Project for this restoration work.

The program has been closed and remaining funds will be returned to the City of Santa Clarita.

The District currently accepts prequalification applications on a quarterly basis, and recently issued a notice inviting prequalification (RFQ18-07A) for the July application period (July 1, 2018 to July 10, 2018).

The attached list reflects the addition of the contractors approved during the July 2018 application window.

At the October 11, 2017, Board meeting, the Governing Board approved a credit of $13,551 to Stay Green, Inc., to remove a portion of their work related to installing a back-flow preventer for the Hart High School Infrastructure Project Phase 1. This work was to be coordinated and done in collaboration with  Newhall Water District. At that time, Newhall Water District was not under contract to do the work for the District, so staff requested that Stay Green, Inc., remove this work from their contract with a credit to the District.

Newhall Water District is now under contract with the District, and Stay Green, Inc., is prepared to complete the work.  Staff and Lundgren would like to re-assign the original scope of work back to Stay Green, Inc., as a change order. Stay Green, Inc., will do the original work for the original cost of the credit, $13,551.
