Increment 2 Work Begins: 20-Feb-2003
In the past month, the Tamalpais Union High School District has
accepted bids for four contracts, all part of the Measure A Bond
Modernization Program.
- At Tamalpais High School, work has commenced
on re-routing a storm drain from the hill behind Mead Theater
down Almonte Boulevard and into the campus’s storm drain
system at the bottom of the theater. The work also includes filling
the broken storm drain under Mead Theater and filling the catch
basin behind the theater. This work is expected to take about
six weeks, weather permitting.
- A contract is also being awarded at Tamalpais HS
for placement of 10 portable classrooms on the outdoor basketball
courts between the tennis courts and the weight room. These portables
will be used by students and teachers while their rooms are being
modernized over the next two years. Parking in the basketball
area, established during last summer’s Increment 1 work,
will be re-located back to the original back parking lot.
- Redwood High School’s portable work is
also underway, with 18 portable classrooms and a toilet building
to be placed on the west outfield of the junior varsity softball
field near the District Office. This work will require installation
of a sewer extension and grading of the field surface. The
first two rows of Redwood’s East Parking Lot will be closed
during March to allow delivery of the portable buildings.
- At Drake High School, Increment 2 work is scheduled
to start within the next few weeks. This contract involves the
complete modernization of Building 500, located on Saunders Avenue
near the back of the campus. This Building, currently home to
an art classroom, an engineering classroom, and a computer lab,
will house two art classes, ceramics class, photography class,
computer lab and engineering class when the work is finished in
the Fall of this year. Modernization also includes seismic bracing,
new windows and doors, general cleanup and painting throughout
the building.
Designs are also near completion, and bids will be advertised within
the next month, for Increment 2 work at Redwood and Tamalpais High
Schools.
- Redwood’s package encompasses the modernization
of the main building, District Office, Gym and locker rooms, and
portable buildings, as well as construction of five small relocatable
buildings: two regular classrooms, a special education classroom,
a physical education classroom, and a storage building. Work is
scheduled to start in May and will continue into 2005.
- Tam’s Increment 2 work covers Gus Gym,
boys’ and girls’ locker rooms, Palmer Hall and the
campus’s Science portable. Work is schedule to start in
May and should be complete by the end of this year.
