MSA 2 Shade Contract with USA Shade Structure

III. Information Items
A.
Ongoing Facility Project Updates
P. Ontiveros, MPS General Counsel/Facilities Director, gave the board an update on all current construction projects, MSA-1, MSA-Santa Ana, and MSA-San Diego. He mentioned that an RFP for a General Contractor would be going out this week. Moving to MSA-1's update, P. Ontiveros explained that the church, St. Catherine, declined to allow MSA-1 to lease their classroom spaces for a year. As a result of this, he explained that he found an alternative site, The Bridge Bible Fellowship, who operated a school on their church site but are not currently using it. Conversations with the alternative church site about the possibility of leasing classroom space has begun and a letter of interest has been submitted. C. Brimmer, Board Member, highlighted the importance of having risks and potential issues stated with the construction project documentation for future tense to allow for little to no surprises to the board members. She also expressed the importance of developing relationships with elected officials. For MSA-SD, the MPS team still needs to do a site walk with Silver Creek to confirm that all the punch list items have been completed. Prop 39 response letters were sent in before the deadline to LAUSD for MSA-3, 4, and 5. An accessibility review for MSA-6 and 7 were completed and are waiting for the results. This is solely an information item, no actions were taken.
