Background:
|
Common Ground, Inc., identified the playfield at Washington High School (WHS), 2525 N. Sherman Blvd., Milwaukee, Wisconsin, 53210, as being in need of reconstruction for the benefit of WHS students and the community at large. Milwaukee Public Schools (MPS) also identified the WHS playfield as a candidate for reconstruction pursuant to the MPS Facilities Master Plan. MPS partnered with Common Ground, Inc., to achieve the mutual goal of reconstructing the playfield and the Administration entered into a partnership agreement with Common Ground, Inc., for the design phase of the playfield reconstruction at WHS on September 26, 2019.
The Administration is seeking the Board's approval to enter into a funding agreement with Common Ground, Inc., for the construction phase of the playfield reconstruction at WHS.

Common Ground, Inc., will cover $735,321.00 of the total costs of construction and MPS will cover $1,489,954.00 of the total costs of construction of the WHS playfield reconstruction. The parties acknowledge that Common Ground, Inc., has worked with MPS to apply for an MPS grant of up to $250,000.00 for the project, and that any amount awarded under the NFL grant shall serve to reduce MPS’s contribution.
