Working in close collaboration with WUHSD leadership, AECOM will support all phases of construction delivery, including contract coordination and administration, scheduling, cost and budget review, monitoring and reporting, and quality and closeout. WUHSD’s Measure AA bond program is designed to provide safe, secure, and upgraded classrooms and facilities to support twenty-first century learning environments that attract and retain quality teachers and provide students with a well-rounded education.
