Consent Calendar Type BACKGROUND: Pursuant to Request for Qualifications and Proposals (RFQ/P) #2425-65 issued on February 14, 2025, staff has compiled a pool of prequalified Construction Management Services firms to provide the District with services in support of the Facilities Bond program and related work for ongoing and future facility projects. This list will supersede the former prequalified bench established by RFQ #2122-65 and approved by the Board on June 22, 2022. RFQ/P #2425-65 was advertised in the Signal Hill Tribune on February 14 th and February 21 st , 2025, and published on the District’s online vendor portal (PlanetBids). The District received a total of twenty-four (24) Statements of Qualifications (SOQ’s). Each SOQ was reviewed and evaluated based on the selection criteria included in the RFQ/P. The evaluation team selected nine (9) firms for the Prequalified List for Construction Management Services. All firms were informed about the District’s Local Hire Procedure and are committed to provide economic opportunities and support local businesses in cities of Long Beach, Lakewood, Signal Hill and Avalon. While a prequalified list is not legally required, the list allows District staff to expeditiously select from a highly qualified and vetted list of firms when services are required via a Request for Proposal (RFP) process.

Consent Calendar Type BACKGROUND: The Gant Elementary School Modernization Project includes the construction of a new dedicated parent drop-off and pick-up area along the frontage of Britton Drive, as shown and described in Exhibit A and Exhibit B of the attached resolution. In order to complete this work, the City of Long Beach requires the dedication of an easement for the proposed drop-off area servicing Gant Elementary School. The new easement area is located in a portion of the school site that is not used for classroom buildings and does not impact instructional spaces. The purpose of this easement is to allow the City of Long Beach to maintain public access, ensure compliance with traffic circulation standards, and to facilitate any future public right-of-way improvements along Britton Drive. Education Code Section 17557 provides that the District may dedicate easements if the Board first adopts a resolution declaring its intent to dedicate the easement in a regular open meeting by a two-thirds vote. This resolution is the first of two resolutions that the Board will consider for approval in the granting of these easements. The current resolution is only the notice of intent to grant such easements to the City of Long Beach. The second resolution will be for granting of the easements, and will be brought to the Board for consideration on May 19, 2025, at which time the Board will also be required to conduct a public hearing on the matter. RECOMMENDATION: Recommend approval of Resolution No. 050725-A A RESOLUTION BY THE GOVERNING BOARD OF EDUCATION OF THE LONG BEACH UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT GIVING NOTICE OF INTENT TO DEDICATE EASEMENT TO THE CITY OF LONG BEACH AT THE GANT ELEMENTARY SCHOOL LOCATED AT 1854 NORTH BRITTON DRIVE, LONG BEACH, CA 90815 FOR NEW DEDICATED PARENT DROP-OFF AND PICK-UP.
