The Athletic Training Facility will complement the new Community Services Center building, which is currently under construction, to create a new athletic complex dedicated to
the well-being of students, faculty, and the surrounding community of Los Angeles Valley College.
Project Description
Generally the project is divided into three areas:
Stadium field house, approximately 25,000 square feet.
Athletic Fields: Baseball field, softball field, javelin throw field, and archery/shot-put/hammer-throw field.
Pre-engineered Baseball & Softball field house (approximately 3,840 square feet) and parking lot (bid-alternate).
The Stadium field house will be bound by on the west side by the new Community Services Center (currently in construction) and on the east by the Monarch Stadium. Hatteras
St. and parking lot E are located just north, and the athletic fields will be located just south of the Stadium field house.
The Athletic Fields portion of the project is the construction of a new baseball field, softball field, javelin throw field, and archery/shot-put/hammer-throw fields.
The bid-alternate pre-engineered Baseball & Softball field house will be located just south of the new athletic fields. The renovation of parking lot G will take place just south of the
Baseball & Softball field house.

Project Intent
A number of the North of Mall buildings have been vacated by departments moving to new space created on the campus. The intent of this project is upgrade and
modernize the North of Mall buildings and bring a number of core academic programs at Pierce to a central location on campus and provide adequate space to
accommodate the growth that has occurred in those programs.
Project Description
The North of Mall project involves completing the renovation, upgrading and modernization of seven (7) phase 1 buildings started under a previous construction
contract that was terminated, and renovation, upgrading and modernization of four (4) phase 2 buildings. Total building GSF = 124,000 SF. Both phases have a site
work component (softscape, hardscape and underground utilities). The work of each building typically involves repair or replacement of roof covering, new exterior
walkway column covers, replacement of walls and windows on walkway side with full-height storefronts, ADA upgrades for full compliance with CBC and federal
guidelines, HVAC upgrades, limited electrical and plumbing upgrades, full restroom renovation including ADA compliance, new exterior plaster, interior and exterior
painting, security system, window treatments, communications and classroom technology upgrades. The phase 1 renovation was approximately 70% complete at
time of termination. The project also includes fiber-optic cable infrastructure tied in to the MDF-1 and MDF-2 located in North of Mall buildings and extending to other
North of Mall buildings and extending beyond North of Mall to other buildings on campus. Conduit is mostly already installed.

LEASE-LEASEBACK BASICS
Historically:
When funding for community colleges and K-12’s was tight back in the
mid 1970’s, the statutes were enacted to create a financing option to
permit the building of K-14 education facilities with private funds.
However, the statutes do not require that private funds be used and
whether through oversight or deliberately, the Legislature vested broad
discretion in K-14 entities to decide how to award and enter into a
construction contract under the statutes.
9
Building for tomorrow’s leaders
LEASE-LEASEBACK BASICS
Present Day:
For Community College Districts, the applicable statute is Education Code
section 81335. The statutes can still be used to build education facilities with
private funds. However, it would be wrong to think of the statutes solely as a
funding option.
In fact, because of the broad discretion K-12 Districts and Community College
Districts enjoy under the statutes, it is more correctly thought of today as an
alternative delivery method for construction projects.
The discretion is so broad that Districts can use direct one on one negotiation to
enter into a contract. However, we recommend a different approach. One that
blends the best attributes of competitive bidding and one on one negotiations.

EDUCATION CODE SECTION 81335 et. seq.
(1) Board of Trustees leases real property for at least $1 a year;
(2) Lease requires construction of a building or improvements for the
use of the District;
(3) Title vests in the District during or at end of the lease term; and
(4) Leases contain such other terms and conditions as the Board of
Trustees may deem to be in the best interest of the District.

SO WHAT IS LEASE-LEASEBACK REALLY?
• The most flexible construction project delivery method available to
community colleges; and
• A way to select a very competent and experienced construction firm to
build or improve educational facilities based on a contractor’s:
» qualifications
» value
» successful experience
» references
