Situated in the Santa Clara valley and nearby canyons, Santa Clarita includes the former towns of Canyon Country,  - Hart School District officials are hoping to play the odds that the state won't make too many changes if construction bids go out now for installing synthetic athletic fields at the new Golden Valley and West Ranch high schools West Ranch High School is a public high school in the community of Stevenson Ranch, Los Angeles County, California. Mr. Bob Vincent has been the school's principal ever since it opened in 2004. .

 weather would drive up the project costs. Vanir also identifies areas where the Division of the State Architect might have a different interpretation of state codes regarding loading and evacuation access, increased path of travel and non-independent fire alarm system.

``Considering the above,'' the letter states, ``the project team is confident that the district's risk in proceeding with the bid in parallel with DSA's review/approval will be minimal and far less than the potential costs that will be incurred due to delay.''

Changes by state inspectors were partially responsible for a budget increase for field renovations at Hart, Canyon, Valencia and Saugus High Schools Saugus High School may refer to:

He said that since Golden Valley and West Ranch are not getting stadiums, the access and travel issues noted might not be issues.

He also noted that the project team has held three meetings with state inspectors as plans for the new high schools have developed.

``There shouldn't be any real surprises,'' he said.

A memo from Mike Otavka, director of facilities for the district, advises the board that starting the bid process before approval carries no enforcement or consequence, ``except for the costs involved with bringing the work into compliance with DSA's wishes.''

``Making these changes after contracts have been awarded through the change order process, as we have experienced, can be costly,'' he cautioned.
