Pacifica School District
A steadier standard for Pacifica's campuses.
A short, focused brief on how UFG can support Pacifica School District with consistent grounds care, responsive facilities maintenance, and a single accountable local partner across every campus.
What's inside
Five-campus portrait, grounds-led service approach, trust and compliance posture, a proposed walkthrough method, a phased engagement roadmap, and a direct line into the UFG team.
Core proposition
One Northern California partner. Family ownership, MBE standing, prevailing wage capability, and background-checked field staff bringing consistency across every Pacifica campus.
Pacifica School District
Built for districts that need reliability, not more complexity.
Pacifica is operating five active campuses with a lean facilities team. UFG's role is straightforward: absorb the recurring grounds and maintenance load, hold a consistent standard across every site, and give your leadership one accountable local partner instead of a stack of vendor relationships.
This briefing was prepared specifically around Pacifica's campus footprint, the practical demands facing a multi-campus district, and the day-to-day pressures carried by a lean facilities team. The intent isn't to replace what's working. It's to support where the load is heaviest and bring consistency where it matters most.
UFG is headquartered in Santa Clara and has spent more than 28 years supporting Northern California properties across landscaping, building maintenance, janitorial, and staffing. As a family-owned and operated Minority Business Enterprise with prevailing wage bidding capability and background-checked technicians, UFG brings the accountability structure public school environments require.
Prepared by United Facilities Group | Santa Clara, CaliforniaThe goal isn't another vendor. It's a facilities partner that gives your team room to breathe.
Pacifica School District
Five active campuses and a clear operating picture.
Pacifica's day-to-day facilities load is concentrated across five active campus sites, including the shared Inverness campus serving Ocean Shore and Sunset Ridge. For a grounds-and-facilities partnership, the service map is the campus map.
| Campus site | Schools served | Approx. enrollment | Address | Service lens |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cabrillo Elementary | K-8 | ~534 | 601 Crespi Dr | Full-service candidate |
| Ingrid B. Lacy Middle School | 6-8 | ~670 | 1427 Palmetto Ave | Field improvements + expansion |
| Inverness Shared Campus | Ocean Shore + Sunset Ridge | ~748 combined | 340 Inverness Dr | Shared-site coordination |
| Ortega Elementary | K-5 | ~402 | 1283 Terra Nova Blvd | Grounds + surface attention |
| Vallemar Elementary | K-5 | ~519 | 377 Reina Del Mar Ave | Year-round grounds care |
Shared Inverness service model
Ocean Shore and Sunset Ridge operate from one Inverness site. The right operating model is site-based, not school-by-school: one grounds schedule, one maintenance rhythm, and one reporting line for the district team.
Ingrid B. Lacy expansion
IBL is absorbing roughly 200 additional students following the district's restructuring. With Measure G field improvements planned, this campus will need expanded grounds support and heightened maintenance attention as utilization increases.
Pacifica School District
Grounds and landscaping first. Facilities maintenance close behind.
Pacifica's campuses include varied outdoor environments: playgrounds, athletic fields, walkways, turf areas, and landscaped perimeters. UFG's full-service landscaping platform is built for exactly this kind of multi-site scope, with structured maintenance support that protects building investments alongside it.
Year-round grounds care
Landscape design through ongoing maintenance, keeping campus grounds presentable and safe across every season.
Athletic fields & play surfaces
Turf management, surface upkeep, and safety-focused care for the spaces students use most.
Coastal-climate planting
Seasonal cycles, water-conscious planting, and turf health programs tuned to Pacifica's climate.
Hardscape & arrival presentation
Walkways, parking, exterior surfaces, and the campus arrival experience that signals a well-kept site.
HVAC & comfort
Filter cycles, comfort calls, and seasonal readiness across classrooms and common areas.
Plumbing & restrooms
Restroom readiness, fixture reliability, leak response, and campus hygiene protection.
Electrical & lighting
Lighting, controls, minor repairs, and faster routing of issues that affect the school day.
Preventive cycles & finish care
Scheduled inspection, repairs, and paint touch-ups that catch issues before they become surprises.
What this changes for your team
Jorge Machado's facilities team gets one phone call for grounds care and routine maintenance across all campuses. UFG handles scheduling, crew coordination, seasonal transitions, and quality consistency while helping protect Measure O and Measure G investments. Background-checked custodial and maintenance staffing is available as supportive coverage for seasonal or peak-demand needs.
Pacifica School District
One Northern California operator. One contract. The safeguards public schools require.
UFG brings the profile that fits a public school district: local enough to respond, broad enough to consolidate scopes, and built around the compliance posture school sites demand without making procurement harder.
Family-Owned & Operated since 1998
Local decisions, direct relationships, accountability close to the field. Not a franchise or distant holding company.
MBE Minority Business Enterprise
Supplier-diversity standing that supports district procurement goals with an execution-first operating approach.
Prevailing Wage | CUPCCAA
UFG bids at prevailing wage and is ready for California public works procurement without additional negotiation.
Background-Checked & OSHA-Trained
Multi-state background checks and child-safeguarding training for every campus assignment. Dedicated safety and training compliance manager on staff.
Single contract. Five campuses. One accountable line.
Managing multiple specialty vendors across five campuses creates coordination overhead a lean facilities team can't afford. UFG's integrated model consolidates grounds, maintenance, and supportive staffing under one contract.
- One escalation point across every site and service category.
- One reporting view of campus conditions and emerging needs.
- Faster response, with resources moving between campuses without cross-vendor delay.
- Cleaner procurement and contract administration for board reporting.
- Audit-ready documentation that withstands fiscal scrutiny.
Built for public oversight
Pacifica needs partners whose documentation and compliance posture hold up under scrutiny. Clean records, clear accountability, child-safeguarding training for every school-assigned employee, and audit-ready service documentation are not a special accommodation. They are how UFG operates by default.
Pacifica School District
Start with a campus walkthrough that produces a working action book, not a vague summary.
The right first step is a focused field assessment across Pacifica's campuses, prioritizing grounds conditions, building maintenance needs, and service gaps. The outcome is a practical document your team can use for immediate decisions and future planning.
Prioritize sites
Select first-wave campuses by operational need and leadership priorities.
Inspect on site
Review grounds, exteriors, interiors, restrooms, building systems, and presentation.
Score conditions
Translate observations into visible condition tiers and urgency levels by campus.
Build the packet
Create a prioritized action book with immediate fixes, near-term scopes, and bid-ready items.
Review and launch
Align on next steps, assign ownership, and identify scopes ready for active service.
What UFG inspects
- Grounds conditions, landscaping health, and turf quality
- Campus exteriors, walkways, and arrival presentation
- Building systems: HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and general condition
- Interior finish conditions and restroom readiness
- Maintenance process gaps and recurring campus pain points
What Pacifica receives
- Campus-by-campus findings with urgency tiers
- Recommended 30, 60, and 90-day actions
- Bundled scopes appropriate for immediate service or bid packaging
- Visibility into where vendor consolidation reduces friction
- A working decision packet for leadership and board review
Pacifica School District
Begin where attention is needed most. Build from results.
A phased approach gives the district a low-risk way to evaluate UFG while producing immediate value. The first wave generates visible campus improvements and a clear action packet, building confidence before any broader commitment.
Alignment and campus selection
Confirm priority goals, choose first-wave campuses, gather known issue history, and align on the walkthrough sequence. Recommended starts: Cabrillo Elementary (largest K-8 site) and the shared Sunset Ridge / Ocean Shore campus at 340 Inverness Drive (most operationally complex).
Field walkthroughs and campus scoring
Inspect grounds, building conditions, and service gaps across selected campuses. Capture issue patterns and identify where integrated service reduces vendor complexity and improves consistency.
Action book and priority scopes
Deliver the first working packet with immediate fixes, medium-term maintenance scopes, and bid-ready landscaping and facilities opportunities, broken out by urgency, campus, and category.
Launch recurring support and refine
Move selected scopes into active service. Begin regular grounds and maintenance cycles. Tighten reporting cadence and use walkthrough findings to shape any broader procurement conversations.
Suggested next three actions
- Schedule a planning call with Jorge Machado to confirm priority campuses and service focus areas.
- Authorize a first-wave walkthrough across Cabrillo and the shared Sunset Ridge / Ocean Shore campus.
- Set a review session to walk through the finished action book with district leadership.
What success looks like
The district ends the first engagement with sharper campus visibility, a cleaner grounds and maintenance plan, and a stronger basis for future service decisions. UFG earns the broader conversation by making the first packet useful.
Pacifica School District
When you're ready, this is who you'll be working with.
A walkthrough is a small commitment. The right partner is the one who shows up well, and the relationship you'll have day-to-day matters more than any deck.
