Report
Summary
The Desert Springs Preparatory Elementary School is located within the Paradise Valley Unified School District (PVUSD) and is currently closed. The school is adjacent to Crossed Arrows Park, which is a City basin park; therefore, it does not have traditional park amenities such as a playground. At the request of the community, the City and PVUSD found a solution to provide the community with access to the school's playground by relocating a fence at the school site. The project will include the relocation of an existing fence around the playground area and reinstalling it to allow open access to the playground during non-school hours. The fence will consist of wrought iron to provide enhanced security for the school, while allowing public access to the playground area. Operations and maintenance of the fence and playground accessibility will be provided by PVUSD.
Contract Term
The addendum term will be for six months, or upon completion of the project, whichever occurs first.
Financial Impact
No additional funds are needed for this addendum.
