Contract AwardCapital ProjectsDetected Jun 23, 2026

The Board approved Project Authorization No. 3 under the master architectural services agreement with LPAS, Inc. for $85,000 to provide architectural programming services for the resumption and construction of the previously DSA-approved Building S Tenant Improvements and Center for Civic Engagement at Merritt College.The scope includes programming, stakeholder coordination, design validation, evaluating DSA pathways, and project scheduling to restart a dormant improvement project. This indicates the District is reactivating and refining a capital project focused on Building S and a dedicated civic engagement center. While LPAS is locked in as architect, the project is still in programming and validation, implying that future bid packages for construction, interiors, technology, and furniture will follow.Vendors can begin positioning for those upcoming phases by understanding program needs, civic engagement and student use requirements, and alignment with Measure G and State capital frameworks.

Project resumes a previously DSA-approved scope, focusing on Building S tenant improvements and a Center for Civic Engagement.
