Details: The Division of Operations is requesting approval to use the ONMIA Partners Cooperative Agreement - Contract #R2416 where F.H. Paschen, S.N. Nielsen will provide removal of modular classroom trailers at various schools district wide.
The removal of unused trailers or trailers beyond the useful life cycle as a district-wide initiative is aligned with the Division of Operations strategic goals of safety, cleanliness, and efficiency. The summer removals will ensure our scholars are in academic learning environments that best serve them. The removal of portable classroom units will allow the impacted DCSD campuses to use green space previously occupied by trailers. Trailers sitting on paved areas will be removed and allow modification of those spaces to best serve the school as originally intended.
