Summary

The board approved a Perkins & Will design contract to waterproof the front (1935 portion) of Lake Forest High School East Campus and to advance design-to-bid work with Pepper Construction prior to planned classroom renovations.

Board members approved a Perkins & Will waterproofing proposal to address recurring water intrusion at the front of the Lake Forest High School East Campus (the 1935 portion of the building).

“This is to waterproof across the front of Lake Forest High School East Campus,” a staff member explained during the item presentation, noting the design work will proceed to construction specs and a competitive bid before any on-site construction begins. Trustees and staff said the intent is to correct water intrusion before renovating lower-level classrooms that are affected.

The board approved the item by roll call. Staff described the work as foundation waterproofing to prevent damage during heavy rains; the design-to-bid approach will allow the district to seek competitive contractor pricing and coordinate with Pepper Construction.
