The previous list of contractor firms was approved by the Board on May 17, 2017.

The District received a total of nineteen (19) Statements of Qualifications (SOQs). Each SOQ was reviewed and evaluated based on the selection criteria included in the RFQ document, adopted by the Board of Education on February 21, 2024. The evaluation team selected eleven (11) of the most qualified firms for the Lease-Leaseback (LLB) General Contractors list. 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.
