allocation totaled $1,372,448.56. In addition, the City utilized $963,139.25 in prior year funds from the 2023-2024 program year for the Residential Rehabilitation and Community Center – Demolition projects. Altogether, the City had $2,335,587.81 available to fund activities during the 2024-2025 program year. These funds were used to meet the Action Plan goals, including funding for fair housing and landlord-tenant mediation services, services for low- and moderateincome persons, public facilities improvements and residential rehabilitation. Considerable progress was made in both the Residential Rehabilitation Program and Community Center – Demolition project, with the bulk of expenditures and accomplishments completed and reported in FY2024-2025. Remaining unused funds will be available to reallocate towards FY 2025-2026 eligible activities.

In addition, under the CARES Act, HUD provided special allocations of CDBG - Coronavirus (CV) funds to the City of Gardena. In total, the City received $901,984 of CDBG-CV funds to prevent, prepare for, and respond to the COVID-19 Pandemic. A total of $571,605.39 of CDBGCV funds have been expended by the Emergency Rental Assistance Program, Small Business Assistance Program, and Emergency Food/Sustenance Assistance Program. However, these CV-funded activities are no longer being implemented therefore, the City will consider reallocating the balance of $330,378.61 in CDBG-CV funds to an eligible activity which will address the emergency service needs of Gardena residents in FY 2025-2026.

CR-05 - Goals and Outcomes
Progress the jurisdiction has made in carrying out its Strategic Plan and its Action Plan.

91.520(a)
This 2024-2025 Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER) is the City of Gardena’s report to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) describing the use of federal Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds. The CAPER reports on the fourth Program Year of the 2021-2025 Consolidated Plan period, covering July 1, 2021 to June 30, 2026.

The City receives CDBG funds from HUD on a formula basis each year, and in turn, implements projects and activities in furtherance of the Consolidated Plan. The CDBG program generally provides for a wide range of eligible activities for the benefit of low- and moderate-income Gardena residents, as discussed below.

For the 2024-2025 program year, the City received $616,463 of CDBG funds. Combined with prior year unused funds and program income, totaling $755,985.56, the City’s formula grant allocation totaled $1,372,448.56. In addition, the City utilized $963,139.25 in prior year funds from the 2023-2024 program year for the Residential Rehabilitation and Community Center – Demolition projects. Altogether, the City had $2,335,587.81 available to fund activities during the 2024-2025 program year. These funds were intended to be used to meet the Action Plan goals, including funding for fair housing and landlord-tenant mediation services, services for low- and moderate-income persons, public facilities improvements and housing rehabilitation. Considerable progress was made in the Residential Rehabilitation Program, with the bulk of expenditures and accomplishments completed and reported in FY2024-2025. Remaining unused funds will be available to reallocate towards FY2025-2026 eligible activities.

Under the CARES Act, HUD provided special allocations of CDBG funds to the City of Gardena. In total, the City received $901,984 of CDBG-CV funds to prevent, prepare for, and respond to the COVID-19 Pandemic. A total of $571,605.39 of CDBG-CV funds has been expended by the Emergency Rental Assistance Program, Small Business Assistance Program, and Emergency Food/Sustenance Assistance Program. The City will consider reallocating the balance of $330,378.61 in CDBG-CV funds to an eligible activity which will continue to address the emergency service needs of Gardena residents in FY2025-2026.

Table 1 provides a summary of the proposed five-year and one-year accomplishments for the period ending June 30, 2025, listed by each of the Strategic Plan Goals included in the 2021-2025 Strategic Plan of the Consolidated Plan.

Assess how the jurisdiction’s use of funds, particularly CDBG, addresses the priorities and specific objectives identified in the Action Plan, giving special attention to the highest priority activities identified.

As shown in Table 1, the City and its housing and community development partners made significant progress toward achieving the 2024-2025 Program Year goals established in the Action Plan. Each of the CDBG funded activities addressed specific high priority objectives identified in the 2021-2025 Consolidated Plan.

The City of Gardena allocated CDBG funds to activities that affirmatively furthered fair housing choice, provided public services, preserved affordable housing and provided for the administration of the CDBG.

Each of the activities that were underway during the 2024-2025 Program Year are listed in Figure 1, including the amount of CDBG allocated to the activity and the amount spent as of June 30, 2025. Figure 2 provides the numeric accomplishment goal and the amount accomplished as of June 30, 2025.

Narrative

The federal resources allocated in the 2024-2025 Action Plan for the implementation of projects are identified in Table 3. A grand total of $1,372,448.56 of CDBG funds were allocated to projects in the 2024-2025 Action Plan. In addition, the City utilized $963,139.25 in prior-year funds from the 2023-2024 program year for the Residential Rehabilitation and Community Center – Demolition projects. Altogether, the City had $2,335,587.81 available to fund activities during the 2024-2025 program year, of which $1,559,239.39 was expended. The Residential Rehabilitation Program accounted for the bulk of CDBG expenditures, drawing on both the $1,156,687.56 allocated in FY 2024-2025 and $323,139.25 carried forward from FY 2023-2024. In total, $954,370.59 was expended on the Residential Rehabilitation Program during FY 2024-2025.

Narrative Description
CDBG Eligible Areas 38% 52% CDBG Eligible Areas
Citywide Area 62% 48% Citywide

Narrative
The City sought to disburse federal entitlement dollars strategically within low-and moderateincome (LMI) census tracts. No specific neighborhoods were targeted for expenditure of funds. Investments in services serving special needs populations and primarily low- and moderate-income persons continue to be made throughout the City. The City will evaluate each eligible project and program based on urgency of needs, availability of other funding sources and financial feasibility. Residential rehabilitation assistance will be available to income-qualified households citywide with an emphasis on distressed neighborhoods.

Leveraging
Explain how federal funds leveraged additional resources (private, state, and local funds), including a description of how matching requirements were satisfied, as well as how any publicly owned land or property located within the jurisdiction that were used to address the needs identified in the Action Plan.

To address housing and community development needs in Gardena, CDBG entitlement grants are used to leverage a variety of funding resources to maximize the effectiveness of available funds. The CDBG public service activities leveraged private, state, and other federal funds to deliver services for low- and moderate-income people.

During the program year, the City did not identify and did not use any publicly owned land or property located within the jurisdiction to address the needs identified in the Consolidated Plan. The City does not currently own land or property that is suitable for use in addressing the needs identified in the Consolidated Plan.

In addition, the City does not receive direct HOME funds and therefore, is not required to meet a matching requirement.

Discuss the difference between goals and outcomes and problems encountered in meeting these goals.

As the City’s housing stock ages, a growing percentage of housing units may need rehabilitation to allow them to remain safe and habitable. The situation is of particular concern for low- and moderate-income homeowners who are generally not in a financial position to properly maintain their homes.

As such, the 2024-2025 Action Plan allocated $1,156,687.56 of CDBG funds for the preservation of owner-occupied single-family dwellings as part of the Residential Rehabilitation Program. During FY2024-2025, the City completed eighteen (18)

CITY OF GARDENA CAPER
rehabilitation projects, providing critical repairs and improvements that preserved safe and affordable housing for low- and moderate-income households.

Discuss how these outcomes will impact future annual action plans.

The City anticipates continuing to invest in affordable housing preservation in addition to investing in projects that will create new affordable housing opportunities for low-income residents.

As community needs change the City may need to undertake additional activities to best achieve the City's ability to meet its affordable housing goals. All future Annual Action Plans will provide additional information on any on-going affordable housing activities and the City will continue to assess and determine affordable housing needs that best utilize available funding sources.

Include the number of extremely low-income, low-income, and moderate-income families or households served by each activity where information on income by family size is required to determine the eligibility of the activity.

Table 6 – Number of Families or Households Served

Narrative Information
In FY2024-2025, the City completed eighteen (18) rehabilitation projects through the Residential Rehabilitation Program, addressing what HUD defines as “worst case housing need”. The City will continue to provide funds in FY2025-2026 for the preservation of the physical and functional integrity of existing housing units occupied by low- and extremely low-income residents who would otherwise continue to live in substandard housing because they were not in the financial position to properly maintain their home.

Addressing substandard housing conditions through housing preservation activities is a costeffective way to invest limited resources to retain housing units that are already affordable to low- and moderate-income residents and ensure all economic segments of the community have the opportunity to live in decent housing.

CITY OF GARDENA CAPER
CR-25 - Homeless and Other Special Needs 91.220(d, e); 91.320(d, e); 91.520(c)
Evaluate the jurisdiction’s progress in meeting its specific objectives for reducing and ending homelessness through:

Reaching out to homeless persons (especially unsheltered persons) and assessing their individual needs
The City of Gardena is not the recipient of federal or state funds targeted to homeless individuals and families. However, the City of Gardena supported homeless and other special needs activities by continuing to allocate CDBG funds to support the Youth and Family Services Bureau, which focuses their work on addressing homelessness and providing services to special needs populations.

Preventing and ending homelessness is a HUD priority addressed nationally through coordination of regional strategies carried out locally by government agencies and a wide variety of community-based organizations and faith-based groups. To reach out to unsheltered homeless persons and assess their individual needs for the purpose of connecting them with available emergency shelter and transitional housing resources, the City of Gardena provided information and referrals to the Los Angeles County Continuum of Care (CoC) led by the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority (LAHSA) and the organizations receiving CDBG funds for homelessness prevention activities.

During LAHSA’s most recent homeless count in 2024, the City of Gardena had a total of 69 homeless persons counted. Of the 69 homeless persons counted, 9 were in cars, 6 had makeshift shelters, 12 were in RV’s/campers, 4 were in vans, 0 were in tents, and 38 were not in a dwelling.

The City will continue its efforts in the prevention and reduction of homelessness by supporting the LAHSA and its outreach programs and providing referrals to public assistance programs offered by the County. Additionally, the City will continue to use CDBG funds to fund its Youth and Family Service Program that provides various services to the homeless and those at risk of becoming homeless.

Addressing the emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of homeless persons The ultimate solution to ending homelessness is transitional to permanent housing closely aligned with supportive services that ensure housing stability can be maintained. However, because the demand for affordable housing far outpaces the region’s supply, the CoC continues to rely on its emergency and transitional housing system in order, to address the immediate needs of Los Angeles County’s homeless population.

CITY OF GARDENA CAPER
Los Angeles County has implemented policy and program changes aimed at ensuring homeless persons in Los Angeles County are rapidly housed and offered an appropriate level of support services to meet their circumstances and keep them stably housed. An increase in permanent supportive housing for the most vulnerable populations is attributed to Los Angeles County homeless service providers re-tooling their programs and shifting their focus to moving people quickly into permanent supportive housing throughout the County.

The City will continue its efforts in addressing the emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of the homeless by collaborating with agencies that provide shelter for the homeless. The City will also continue to fund its Youth and Family Services Program to address the homeless issue.

Helping low-income individuals and families avoid becoming homeless, especially extremely low-income individuals and families and those who are: likely to become homeless after being discharged from publicly funded institutions and systems of care (such as health care facilities, mental health facilities, foster care and other youth facilities, and corrections programs and institutions); and, receiving assistance from public or private agencies that address housing, health, social services, employment, education, or youth needs Inadequate discharge planning and coordination contributes to homelessness in situations where people are released from public institutions or public systems of care without having an appropriate mainstream or supportive housing option available upon discharge from an institutional setting. Public institutions such as jails, hospitals, treatment facilities, mental health facilities, youth facilities, and foster care homes are central to limiting the creation of newly homeless persons upon discharge.

In California, discharge coordination and planning is largely unregulated unless county or municipal ordinances provide rules preventing public institutions from discharging people into homelessness. One of the goals included in the Los Angeles Ten Year Strategy to End Homelessness is to formalize protocols and improve the coordination of discharge planning among key institutional systems of care and supervision. The goal calls for the CoC to close the “revolving door” to homelessness so that new persons do not find themselves living in the community without the social and economic support necessary to access and maintain themselves in a safe environment.

The City will continue its efforts in helping low-income individuals and families avoid becoming homeless through its Youth and Family Services Program. The City will also provide referrals to public assistance programs offered by other agencies in the County.

Helping homeless persons (especially chronically homeless individuals and families, families with children, veterans and their families, and unaccompanied youth) make the transition to

CITY OF GARDENA CAPER
permanent housing and independent living, including shortening the period of time that individuals and families experience homelessness, facilitating access for homeless individuals and families to affordable housing units, and preventing individuals and families who were recently homeless from becoming homeless again The City will continue its efforts in helping homeless persons make the transition to permanent housing and independent living by collaborating with agencies that provide shelter for the homeless. The City will also provide referrals to public assistance programs offered by other agencies to aid in preventing the recently homeless from becoming homeless again.

CR-30 - Public Housing 91.220(h); 91.320(j)
Actions taken to address the needs of public housing
The Gardena Housing Authority does not administer Section 8 and does not own HUD Public Housing; however, the City is within the service area of the Los Angeles Community Development Agency (LACDA), formerly known as the Housing Authority of the County of Los Angeles (HACoLA), for the purposes of Section 8 and Public Housing.

LACDA continues to serve the needs of residents through public housing and Section 8 vouchers. Specifically, the U.S. Census Bureau projects that the elderly in California will have an overall increase of 112 percent from 1990 to 2020. Los Angeles County mirrors this trend. To address the need for the growing senior population, in August of 2013, HUD approved LACDA’s application to designate 13 public housing senior developments as housing for elderly families only (62 years or older).

Actions taken to encourage public housing residents to become more involved in management and participate in homeownership
LACDA actively encourages residents to be involved in the organization through resident councils and active participation in housing authority decisions via surveys and other forms of engagement. LACDA also maintains quarterly newsletters for Section 8 tenants, public housing residents, and Section 8 property owners.

LACDA encourages residents to explore homeownership opportunities. LACDA currently administers Family Self-Sufficiency (FSS) program for public conventional housing and Housing Choice Voucher program residents. The FSS program provides critical tools and supportive services to foster a resident’s transition from financial and housing assistance to economic and housing self-sufficiency, most importantly homeownership.

To support this effort, LACDA utilizes marketing materials to outreach and further promote the program’s requirements and benefits to all public housing residents. For families that are

CITY OF GARDENA CAPER
eligible to participate, a Contract of Participation (COP) is prepared to govern the terms and conditions of their participation and an Individual Training Service Plan (ITSP) is created that outlines the following: supportive services to be provided, activities to be completed by the participant, and agreed upon completion dates for the services and activities. The COP is valid for five years and may be extended to allow the family to meet their ITSP goals.

Actions taken to provide assistance to troubled PHAs
N/A, LACDA is designated as a High Performing Public Housing Agency.

CR-35 - Other Actions 91.220(j)-(k); 91.320(i)-(j)
Actions taken to remove or ameliorate the negative effects of public policies that serve as barriers to affordable housing such as land use controls, tax policies affecting land, zoning ordinances, building codes, fees and charges, growth limitations, and policies affecting the return on residential investment. 91.220 (j); 91.320 (i) In the Housing Element Update, the City has established barrier removal goals, policies and programs. The following goals will be implemented:
 Remove or reduce governmental constraints on affordable housing development.  Continue efforts to streamline administrative procedures for granting approvals and permits.
 Review residential development standards, regulations, ordinances, review procedures and permitting fees related to the development of housing. Adjust, as appropriate, those that are determined to be a constraint to the development of housing.
 Encourage the use of density bonuses and provide other regulatory concessions to facilitate affordable housing development.
 Provide appropriate definitions and zoning designations in the Zoning Ordinance to allow and facilitate the development of housing for extremely low-income and special needs persons.
 Streamline the development process, particularly for affordable housing projects, which reduces the costs associated with holding on to land until it can be developed.

As part of the Governmental Constraints analysis for the Housing Element update, revisions to the Gardena were identified as appropriate to better facilitate the provision of a variety of housing types such as: emergency shelters, transitional housing, supportive housing, and single-room occupancy (SRO) units.

CITY OF GARDENA CAPER
Actions taken to address obstacles to meeting underserved needs. 91.220(k); 91.320(j) Efforts to address obstacles to meeting underserved needs included:
 The City obtained data from the Housing Authority of the County of Los Angeles on the number of Section 8 households assisted by race, ethnicity, age and disability status. The City will compare who is being served to the demographic characteristics of the community. In this way, the City can estimate more precisely underserved populations.
 The City encouraged and supported the efforts of the Housing Authority of the County of Los Angeles to seek additional Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers.  The City encouraged and supported the efforts of non-profit housing development corporations to seek funding from federal, state and local sources for special needs housing.

Actions taken to develop institutional structure. 91.220(k); 91.320(j)

CITY OF GARDENA CAPER
The institutional delivery system in Gardena is high-functioning and collaborative — particularly the relationship between local government and the nonprofit sector comprised of a network of capable community-based organizations that are delivering a full range of services to residents.

To support and enhance this existing institutional structure, the City of Gardena collaborated with nonprofit agencies to ensure that the needs of low- and moderate-income residents were met as envisioned within the 2021-2025 Consolidated Plan - Strategic Plan.

Actions taken to enhance coordination between public and private housing and social service agencies. 91.220(k); 91.320(j)
To enhance coordination between public and private housing and social service agencies, the City continued consulting with and inviting a wide variety of agencies and organizations involved in the delivery of housing and supportive services to low- and moderate-income residents to participate in Gardena - particularly in low- and moderate-income areas.

Identify actions taken to overcome the effects of any impediments identified in the jurisdictions analysis of impediments to fair housing choice. 91.520(a) The City works with the Fair Housing Foundation to address the impediments identified in the report. One of the most common impediments to Fair Housing choice is discrimination towards race and familial status. The Fair Housing Foundation uses a diverse pool of skilled testers to investigate complaints. When an investigation is complete, each client is advised of the findings and available legal options. Referrals are made to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for complaints regarding lending discrimination, to the Department of Justice (DOJ) for class action cases, to the State Department of Fair Employment and Housing (DFEH), Small Claims Court and to private attorneys for other matters as appropriate. The Fair Housing Foundation follows the desired legal path selected by the Complainant and mediates the situation if requested to do so. Legal training seminars are available to property owners as a means to educate them on Fair Housing regulations and requirements.

The City of Gardena’s goal is to ensure that all available avenues are maximized to make sure there are fair housing opportunities for all residents within the City.

2025
TO: THE HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE GARDENA CITY COUNCIL AGENDA TITLE: Award Construction Contract for the Rowley Park Improvements Basketball Project - Phase 2, JN 530, to Ferandell Tennis Courts Inc., in the amount of $199,305.00; Approve the Project Plans and Specifications, Project Contingency, and Construction Support Services by BGB Design Group; and Declare California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Exemption.

RECOMMENDATION AND STAFF SUMMARY:

The Rowley Park Basketball Court Rehabilitation Project was split into two phases. Phase 1 of the project included upgrading existing lighting to high efficiency LED fixtures, new upgraded poles/fixtures, replacement of basketball fixtures, drainage improvements, concrete repair, and replacement of sand in playground with poured in place resilient surfacing. Phase 1 was substantially completed on August 15, 2025 and tentatively schedule for Notice Of Completion in November 2025.

Phase 2 of the project will include concrete surface preparation, installation of the new TitanTrax PK resurfacing system, and striping of both the basketball and pickleball courts. TitanTrax PK is an Overlay Renovation Technology (ORT) surface designed to be installed over existing asphalt or concrete courts. In addition to resurfacing, it acts as a leveling course to address uneven areas on the current surface. This phase will also include placement preparation for the portable pickleball net assemblies, as well as the installation of benches.

The manufacture of the TitanTrax PK resurfacing system requires that all contractors be certified installers. This certification ensures the product is installed correctly and according to the manufacturer's specifications. Of the four certified installers, two submitted bids for the project.

The following two (2) bids were received on September 4, 2025, Ferandell Tennis Courts and Trueline Construction & Surfacing. Both bids contained mathematical errors. However, these discrepancies did not affect the overall bid rankings.

Organization Bid Amount

1. Ferandell Tennis Courts Inc., Carlsbad $199,305.00

2. Trueline Construction & Surfacing, Inc., Riverside Large Mathematical Error
The lowest responsive bidder, Ferandell Tennis Courts Inc., is a state-licensed contractor with proven experience in this field and will be required to meet all bonding and financial standards. The construction duration is 45 working days; however, the start may be delayed due to long-lead material items.

Staff recommends that the City Council approve the award of the construction contract for the Award Construction Contract for the Rowley Park Improvements Basketball Project - Phase 2, JN 530, to Ferandell Tennis Courts Inc., in the amount of $199,305.00, and additionally:
a. Approve the project Plans and Specifications.
b. Approve a 10% of the construction award amount, $20,000, to be utilized for the project contingency as needed.
c. Approve Construction Support Services with BGB Design Group, Inc., in the amount of $4,201.00. d. Declare this project to be categorically exempt under CEQA, Class 1, Section 15301, as rehabilitation of existing facilities.

ii

MODIFICATIONS AND ALTERNATIVE PROPOSALS
Unauthorized conditions, limitations, or provisions attached to the Proposal will render it informal and may be grounds for its rejection as non-responsive. The completed Proposal forms shall be without interlineations, alterations, or erasures. Alternative proposals will not be considered unless specifically requested. Oral, telegraphic, or telephonic proposals or modifications will not be considered.

DISCREPANCIES IN PROPOSALS
In the event there is more than one bid item in a Bidding Schedule, the bidder shall furnish a price for all bid items in the Schedule, and failure to do so will render the Proposal informal and may be grounds for its rejection as non-responsive. The bidder shall state in words and figures the unit prices or the specific sums as the case may be, for which it proposes to supply the labor, materials, supplies, or machinery, and completely perform the Contract. The total amount of each item bid and the total amount of the bid shall be stated in words and figures.

In case of any discrepancy between the words and the figures, the words shall prevail. If the unit price and the total amount named by a bidder for any items are not in agreement, the unit price alone will be considered as representing the bidder's intention and the total will be corrected to conform thereto.

PROPOSAL GUARANTEE – BIDDER’S SECURITY
Each bidder shall submit with his Proposal cash, an unconditional certified or cashier's check, or a bidder's bond, in the sum of the percentage of the bid stated in the Notice Inviting Bids, payable to the City as a guarantee that the bidder will, if its Proposal is accepted, execute the Contract and furnish a satisfactory Faithful Performance Bond, a satisfactory Payment Bond and insurance certificates as specified herein.

If a bidder to whom an award is made, fails or refuses to sign the Contract or furnish the required bonds and certificates, all within the time stated in Section 2-1.5 of the Special Provisions herein, the funds represented by said cash, check or bidder's bond shall be forfeited and become and remain the property of the City; the amount thereof being agreed to by the bidder and the surety as a bid bond forfeiture due to the City because of the delay in the execution of the Contract and in the performance of work thereunder, resulting from such failure or refusal, except that if the City awards the contract to the next lowest responsive responsible bidder, only that portion of the bidder's security equal to the difference between the two bids will be forfeited.

A Bid Bond must be obtained from a corporate surety authorized to do business as such in the State of California as an “admitted surety insurer” and shall be on the form furnished by the City or one substantially in conformance with it. Certified or cashier's checks must be drawn on a solvent state or nationally chartered bank or branch thereof in the State of California. The liability of the City in connection with the checks shall be limited to the return of the checks (without interest) as provided in Section 2-1.6 of the Special Provisions bound herein. iii

DISQUALIFICATION OF BIDDERS
A person, firm, or corporation shall NOT be allowed to make or file, or to be interested in, more than one bid, except an alternative bid when specifically requested; provided, however, a person, firm, or corporation who has submitted a sub-proposal to a bidder submitting a Proposal, or who has quoted prices on materials to such bidders, is not thereby disqualified from submitting a sub-proposal or from quoting prices to other bidders submitting proposals, or from submitting a Proposal as a prime contractor. Similarly, failure to comply with the registration requirements of Labor Code Section 1725.5, as further described in the Notice Inviting Bids, will disqualify a bidder.

ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS

“(a) A public entity, as defined in Section 1100 [of the Public Contract Code], may not permit a contractor or subcontractor who is ineligible to bid or work on, or be awarded, a public works project pursuant to Section 1777.1 or 1777.7 of the Labor Code to bid on, be awarded, or perform work as a subcontractor on, a public works project.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR CERTIFICATION

1. By signing and submitting this proposal, the prospective primary participant is providing the certification set out below.

2. The inability of a person to provide the certification required below will not necessarily result in denial of participation in this covered transaction. The prospective participant shall submit an explanation of why it cannot provide the certification set out below. The certification or explanation will be considered in connection with the department or agency's determination whether to enter into this transaction. However, failure of the prospective primary participant to furnish a certification or an explanation shall disqualify such person from participation in this transaction.

3. The certification in this clause is a material representation of fact upon which reliance was placed when the department or agency determined to enter into this transaction. If it is later determined that the prospective primary participant knowingly rendered an erroneous certification, in addition to other remedies available to the Federal Government, the department or agency may terminate this transaction for cause or default.

4. The prospective primary participant shall provide immediate written notice to the department or agency to which this proposal is submitted if at any time the prospective primary participant learns that its certification was erroneous when submitted or has become erroneous by reason of changed circumstances.

5. The terms "covered transaction," "debarred," "suspended," "ineligible," "lower tier covered transaction," "participant," "person," "primary covered transaction," "principal," "proposal," and "voluntarily excluded," as used in this clause, have the meanings set out in the Definitions and Coverage sections of the rules implementing Executive Order 12549. You may contact the department or agency to which this proposal is submitted for assistance in obtaining a copy of those regulations (13 CFR Part 145).

6. The prospective primary participant agrees by submitting this proposal that, should the proposed covered transaction be entered into, it shall not knowingly enter into any lower tier covered transaction with a person who is debarred, suspended, declared ineligible, or voluntarily excluded from participation in this covered transaction, unless authorized by the department or agency entering into this transaction.

7. The prospective primary participant further agrees by submitting this proposal that it will include the clause titled "Certification Regarding Debarment, Suspension, Ineligibility and Voluntary Exclusion-- Lower Tier Covered Transactions," provided by the department or agency entering into this covered transaction, without modification, in all lower tier covered transactions and in all solicitations for lower tier covered transactions.

8. A participant in a covered transaction may rely upon a certification of a prospective participant in a lower tier covered transaction that it is not debarred, suspended, ineligible, or voluntarily excluded from the covered transaction, unless it knows that the certification is erroneous. A participant may decide the method and frequency by which it determines the ineligibility of its principals. Each participant may, but is not required to, check the Nonprocurement List.

9. Nothing contained in the foregoing shall be construed to require establishment of a system of records in order to render in good faith the certification required by this clause. The knowledge and information of a participant is not required to exceed that which is normally possessed by a prudent person in the ordinary course of business dealings.

10. Except for transactions authorized under paragraph 6 of these instructions, if a participant in a covered transaction knowingly enters into a lower tier covered transaction with a person who is suspended, debarred, ineligible, or voluntarily excluded from participation in this transaction, in addition to other remedies available to the Federal Government, the department or agency may terminate this transaction for cause or default.

If the proposal is made by an individual, it shall be signed and his or her full name and address shall be given; if it is made by a firm it shall be signed with co-partnership name by a general partner thereof, who shall also sign his or her known name, and the name and address of each member of such co-partnership shall be given; if made by a corporation, the name of the corporation shall be signed by its duly authorized officers and attested by the corporate seal.

Bidders are warned against making erasures or alterations of any kind on their Proposal.

Proposals which contain omissions, erasures, alterations, conditions or additions not called for may be rejected.

At the time the Contract is awarded by the Agency, the Contractor shall be licensed under the provisions of Chapter 9, Division 3, of the Business and Professions Code of the State of California to do the type of work contemplated in the Contract and shall be skilled and regularly engaged in the general class or type of work required by this Contract. 1-7.2 Contract Bonds. The “Performance Bond” is equivalent to City’s “Faithful Performance Bond”.
1-7.3 Examination of Plans, Specifications and Project Site. Bidders shall read the specifications, review the drawings and examine the existing facilities to fully understand the project in order to plan for the improvements as shown in the contract, including local condition, uncertainty of weather and all other contingencies.

Bidders shall satisfy themselves by personal examination of the proposed work sites, and by such other means as they may choose as to actual conditions and requirements and as to the accuracy of the quantities stated in the Proposal forms. Information derived from the maps, plans, specifications, profiles, drawings, or from the Engineer/Architect of the record, shall not relieve the bidder of this responsibility, and the interpretation of the data disclosed by borings or other preliminary investigations is not guaranteed nor is any liability assumed by the Agency. 1-7.4 Interpretation of Drawings and Documents.

Interpretations or corrections of the Contract Documents including the Specifications and Drawings, shall be made only by addendum duly issued by the Engineer, and a copy of such addendum will be sent by certified mail, postage prepaid, or delivered to each person receiving a set of the Contract Documents whose address is known to the Engineer and such addendum shall be considered a part of and incorporated in the Contract Documents. 1-7.5 Award of Contract. After the Proposals have been publicly opened and read aloud, they will be checked for accuracy and compliance with all provisions as specified herein.

The Agency reserves the right to reject any or all bids and to waive any informality or irregularity in any bid received and to be the sole judge of the merits of the respective bids received.

Bids subsequently shown to be mathematically unbalanced would be rejected as nonresponsive.

GP-3
A mathematically unbalanced bid is one containing lump sum or unit bid items which do not reflect reasonable actual costs plus a reasonable proportionate share of the bidder’s anticipated profit, overhead costs, and other indirect costs, which he/she anticipates for the performance of the items in question.
“A bid is mathematically unbalanced if the bid is structured on the basis of nominal prices for some work and inflated prices for other work; that is, each element of the bid must carry its proportionate share of the total cost of the work plus profits.” “A bid is materially unbalanced if there is a reasonable doubt that award to the bidder submitting the mathematically unbalanced bid will result in the lowest ultimate cost to the Government.

Consequently, a materially unbalanced bid may not be accepted.” Award of the Contract, if it be awarded, will ordinarily be made by the Agency within 30 days after opening of the bids. Award will be made to the lowest responsive responsible bidder.

In selecting the lowest responsive responsible bidder, consideration will be given to the general competency of the bidder for the performance of the work covered by the proposal. To receive favorable consideration, a bidder may be required to present evidence that he has successfully performed similar work of comparable magnitude or submit other evidence satisfactory to the Agency that he or his associates are competent to manage the proposed undertaking and to carry it forward to a successful conclusion. Professional integrity and honesty of purpose shall be essential requirements. A showing of adequate financial resources may be required but will not alone determine whether a bidder is competent to undertake the proposed work.

2. Remove bottom of box and set trees so that, when settled, they bear the same relation to the required grade as they bore to the natural grade before being transplanted. Place each tree in the center of the pit, remove box sides and backfill with prepared backfill. Compact the backfill mix around the ball or roots. Do not use soil in muddy condition for backfilling. Cut off all broken or frayed roots.

3. Thoroughly water each tree when the hole is one-half filled.

4. After watering, backfill the remainder of the hole and tamp the soil in place until the surface of the backfill is level with the surrounding area and the crown of the tree is at the finished grade of the surrounding area.

5. After backfilling, a basin shall be constructed around each tree.

Each basin shall be of a depth sufficient to hold at least six inches (6”) of water. Basins shall be the same size as the container size of each individual tree. The the basins shall be constructed of amended backfill material.

AGENDA REPORT

SUMMARY
Agenda Item No. 16C.

Section: DEPARTMENTAL

ITEMS - PUBLIC WORKS
Meeting Date: October 14,
2025
TO: THE HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE GARDENA CITY COUNCIL AGENDA TITLE: Approve a Contract Change Order in the amount of $67,342 to the consulting services agreement with Cannon Corporation for the Redondo Beach Boulevard Arterial Improvement Project, JN 945.

COUNCIL ACTION REQUIRED:

Staff Recommendation: Approved Professional Services Contract Change Order (CCO) RECOMMENDATION AND STAFF SUMMARY:

The Consultant Services Agreement with Cannon Corporation for the Redondo Beach Boulevard (RBB) Arterial Improvement Project, in the amount of $520,985, was originally approved by the City Council on March 8, 2022.

The project seeks to improve traffic flow, reduce congestion, and enhance safety along the RBB corridor, from Vermont Avenue to Crenshaw Boulevard. Key improvements include:

Reducing turning movements
Replacing outdated traffic signal equipment
Rehabilitating pavements and parkways
Upgrading access ramps
Installing new striping and signage
Constructing landscaped traffic medians
In November 2024, the preliminary design was presented at four community information meetings. Since then, staff has addressed public input, and the project has advanced to the 90% Plans, Specifications, and Estimates (PS&E) milestone, with completion anticipated within the next six months.

As part of the environmental review, staff filed an initial CEQA Notice of Exemption with the County in February 2024. However, given the two-mile corridor scope and the more defined PS&E, staff recommends engaging a professional environmental consulting firm to further evaluate potential environmental impacts. Should significant impacts be identified, the consultant will propose mitigation measures for incorporation into the project.

To support these additional services, staff recommends that the City Council approve a Contract Change Order in the amount of $67,342 to the existing agreement with Cannon Corporation for the Redondo Beach Boulevard Arterial Improvement Project, JN 945.

The project is fully funded through Regional Measure M grant funds, and sufficient funds are available to cover the requested services.

FISCAL IMPACT/COST:

FY 2025-2026 Source of Funds:

Measure M Regional $10,649,446
FY 2025-2026 Estimated Design Phase Expenditure:

Remaining Consultant Contract $148,184
Design CCO $67,342
Staff Job Cost $29,300
Total Design Expenditure $244,826

Project: Redondo Beach Boulevard Arterial Improvements Project, JN 945 Scope Amendment #1 – CEQA Environmental
Dear Mr. Mendoza:

Cannon appreciates the opportunity to present this proposal to provide professional environmental services for an Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS/MND) and supporting technical studies in compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) for the subject project. The attached proposal by ECORP, who will be Cannon’s subconsultant on this project, will present the scope of services and fees, all of which are based on our understanding of the City’s needs.

Cannon’s primary role will be an administrative one, with ECORP taking the lead on most aspects of the day-to-day tasks/services. We anticipate Cannon’s involvement will include project management and providing ECORP with applicable project documentation.

Attached is the Additional Services Agreement to cover the costs of these additional services.

If this meets your approval, please sign, and return to me.

If you have any questions or comments, please do not hesitate to call me at 949-777-1580.

Sincerely,
Gary Essex A. Solsona, P.E., QSD

Project Overview:

The City of Gardena is planning roadway improvements along Redondo Beach Boulevard (City Job No. 945), approximately 2 miles between Crenshaw Boulevard and Vermont Avenue. The project is currently in design phase and includes the following key improvements: traffic signal modifications, road resurfacing, road reconstruction at spot locations, new raised landscape median installation, curb ramp improvements, sidewalk and curb and gutter repair.

Environmental Compliance Background
The City previously prepared and filed a Notice of Exemption (NOE) for this project in March 2022 and again in February 2024, which was recorded/filed by the Los Angeles County Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk in March 2024. These NOEs classified the project as Categorically Exempt under CEQA (Section 15301, Class 1: Existing Facilities) because the work involves minor alterations to existing public facilities without significant expansion of use. As a result, and in compliance with CEQA, no public hearing was required, and the 180- day period to challenge the NOE has now passed.

City’s Request for Proposal for Environmental Services
On August 6, 2025, Cannon met with the City’s engineering team regarding the City’s interest in preparing additional CEQA documentation—specifically, an Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS/MND)—and conducting further environmental and technical studies.

The goal is to minimize risk and strengthen the City’s position should the project be challenged in the future.

However, it is important to note that preparing an IS/MND would require “reopening” the CEQA process. This would subject the project to new public review, City Council consideration, and a public hearing, which could increase the likelihood of CEQA-related challenges.

This proposal is to prepare an IS/MND and supporting technical studies. The CEQA Lead Agency would be the City of Gardena.
