LHS Reconstruction Updates

The unanimous decision, made during the October 24 Board meeting, follows a rigorous, competitive bidding process. All prospective bidders were pre-qualified to demonstrate the expertise necessary to meet high standards and adhere to the Board-approved Project Labor Agreement.

The District is set to open construction bids on October 15, with the contract award scheduled for the Board of Education meeting on October 24. A groundbreaking ceremony is anticipated shortly after the contract award, symbolizing the start of a new chapter for Lynwood High School.

Teams have been working diligently to submit to the state for various approvals and reimbursement for the different phases of the project. Further environmental testing on the soil is currently underway before moving to the next phase, which includes opening bids for contractors and starting the deep soil mixing process this fall.

The soil Stabilization process has been completed, with the construction bidding process set to begin in August 2024.

While most of the above-ground work has been completed, demolition crews will continue to remove deep concrete foundations and columns that exist underground.

The work to prepare the soil for the building’s foundation is scheduled to begin later this summer. Once the foundation work is complete, construction of the new 175,000-square-foot building will begin.

Lynwood Unified is on track to complete the demolition process next year and welcomes a new Facilities Project Manager to the LHS Reconstruction team.

The event was a pivotal moment for the Lynwood Unified community following the 2020 collapse of a classroom building at the Lynwood High School Imperial Campus that led to the Knights being relocated.

The demolition ceremony will take place at 9 a.m. on Monday, November 6, paving the way for the construction of a 175,000-square-foot state-of-the-art educational facility.

The exterior demolition of the building is scheduled to commence following a demolition ceremony taking place at 9 a.m. on Monday, Nov. 6.
