Justifications KEY:

A – This is an administrative amendment, which does not modify building standards as defined in California Health & Safety Code section 18909. The amendment establishes administrative procedures for the effective enforcement of the building standards in the City of Gardena.

B – This amendment is reasonably necessary because of the following local climatic, geological, or topographical conditions:
i. Strong Winds/Climate. The dry climatic conditions with strong winds contribute to the rapid spread of even small fires originating in high- density housing. These fires spread very quickly and Docusign Envelope ID: A2B59508-4189-474E-88C0-6915910D04DA 7 create a need for increased levels of fire protection. The added protection of fire sprinkler systems and other fire protection features will supplement normal fire department response by providing immediate protection for the building occupants and by containing and controlling the fire spread to area of origin. Fire sprinkler systems will also reduce the use of water for firefighting by as much as 50 to 75 percent.
ii. Heavy Precipitation. The climate alternates between extended periods of drought and brief flooding conditions. The winter months can experience heavy rainfall of up to 6 inches per hour.

Flood conditions may affect the Los Angeles County Fire Departments ability to respond to a fire or emergency condition.

Floods also disrupt utility services to buildings and facilities within the County.
iii. Revisions to the foundation requirements due to highly expansive soil conditions that are present in some areas of Gardena. These requirements have been used locally since 1970.

SECTION 2. Consistent with Health and Safety Code section 17958.7(c)(1), the changes or modifications are substantially equivalent to changes or modifications that were previously filed by the governing body of the city or county and were in effect as of September 30, 2025.

SECTION 3. The Community Development Department shall file copies of Resolution No. 6729 and Ordinance No. 1888 with the California Building Standards Commission as required by Health and Safety Code Section 17958.7.

SECTION 4. The City Clerk shall certify to the passage and adoption of this resolution; shall cause the same to be entered among the original resolutions of said City; and shall make a minute of the passage and adoption thereof in the records of the proceedings of the City Council of said City in the minutes of the meeting at which the same is passed and adopted.

SECTION 5. This resolution shall be effective immediately.

Meeting Date: March 10,
2026
TO: THE HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE GARDENA CITY COUNCIL AGENDA TITLE: PUBLIC HEARING: RESOLUTION NO. 6730 - Approving an amendment to modify Conditional Use Permit (CUP) #9-04 to allow the sales of beer, wine, and distilled spirits for off-site consumption and on-site instructional tastings located in an existing retail store in the General Commercial (C-3) zone per Section

18.32.030.B. of the Gardena Municipal Code located at 2169 West Redondo Beach Boulevard (4063-014-020).

COUNCIL ACTION REQUIRED:

Staff respectfully recommends that the City Council open the public hearing, receive public testimony with each speaker allowed three (3) minutes, allow the Applicant time to respond, and then close the public hearing.

RECOMMENDATION AND STAFF SUMMARY:

On January 20, 2026, the Planning Commission held a public hearing to review a request for an amendment to modify CUP #9-04. The project was originally approved by the Planning Commission on June 15, 2004, to allow the sales of beer and wine for off-site consumption within an existing retail store located in the C-3 zone. At the conclusion of the hearing, after considering all materials and evidence presented by staff, the Applicant, and the public, the Commission adopted Resolution No. PC 2-26 to approve the project with a vote of 3-0-0, with two (2) commissioners absent.

On January 27, 2026, Council member Francis called the decision of the Planning Commission for review, which was seconded by Council member Love. Resolution No. 6730 has been prepared for consideration by the City Council for the adoption and approval of the Applicant’s request.

FISCAL IMPACT/COST:

Considering that alcohol occupies less than 10-percent of Target's total floor area and only encompasses a very small portion of Target's overall sales, the additional annual sales tax revenue from the sales of distilled spirits would be minimal.

Figure 2: Site Plan
Planning and Environmental Quality Commission (PEQC) Public Hearing On January 20, 2026, the PEQC held a public hearing to review a request for an amendment to modify Conditional Use Permit (CUP) #9-04. CUP #9-04 was originally approved by the PEQC on June 15, 2004, to allow the sales of beer and wine for off-site consumption within an existing retail store in the General Commercial (C-3) zone, at 2169 West Redondo Beach Boulevard.

This modification request is to allow the sales of beer, wine, and distilled spirits for off-site consumption and on-site instructional tastings within the same existing retail store. The Applicant’s proposal documents the aisles that accommodate the sales display of beer, wine, and distilled spirits and the area for the on-site instructional tastings. When an on-site instructional tasting event occurs, they are only permitted to have instructional tastings once a day, on Saturday and Sundays, between the hours of 11:00 AM to 7:00 PM, with a maximum duration of three (3) hours per tasting event and up to two individuals aged 21 or over, within the designated instructional tasting area as a time.

The project aligns with the City’s General Plan Land Use and Zoning Designation of General Commercial.

The PEQC also considered the project’s qualification for an exemption from the provisions of California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).

In Attachment A, Resolution No. 6730 has been prepared for consideration by the City Council for the adoption and approval of the Applicant’s request.

The PEQC’s resolution and the findings for project approval are provided in Attachment B.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND ANALYSIS:

The Target Corporation submitted a CUP application to modify CUP #9-04 to allow the sales of distilled spirits for off-site consumption in addition to beer and wine (ABC License Type 21), and incidental instructional tastings of alcohol on-site (ABC License Type 86).

Gardena Municipal Code (GMC) Section 18.32.030.B allows “establishments selling or serving alcoholic beverages for consumption on or off the premises” in the C-3 zone subject to the issuance of a CUP from the City. If the CUP is approved, the applicant must then apply for Type 21 (Off-Sale General) and Type 86 (Instructional Tasting) licenses with ABC. These types of licenses are for retail stores selling beer, wine, and distilled spirits for off-site consumption and for the on-site tasting of beer, wine, and/or distilled spirits.

The project also utilizes the existing floor plan to accommodate the adult beverage display area and tasting area, as shown in Figure 3: Floor Plan. A total of four (4) aisles will be dedicated to patrons, for the display of alcoholic beverage products. The tasting area will be less than 40 square feet where only one (1) to two (2) people can participate in the instructional tastings at a time. The business will continue the same hours of operation from 7:00 AM to 11:59 PM, daily.

Instructional tastings will only occur on Saturdays and Sundays from 11:00 AM to 7:00 PM with a maximum duration of 3 hours within that timeframe.

Figure 3: Floor Plan
General Plan and Zoning Consistency
The proposed use is consistent with the City’s General Plan. The project is consistent with the following General Plan Goals and Policies:
• Economic Development Plan Goal 1: Promote a growing and diverse business community that provides jobs, goods, and services for the local and regional market and maintains a sound tax base for the City.
• Economic Development Plan Goal 2: Expand, retain and revitalize quality businesses ABC Certificate of Public Convenience or Necessity
The subject property is located within Los Angeles County Census Tract 6034.00 which is bounded by West 146
th Place and West 144th Street to the north, Western Avenue to the east, West Redondo Beach Boulevard to the south, and Van Ness Avenue to the west. According to ABC, the Census Tract may only have up to three (3) off-site consumption licenses in the area and there are four (4) businesses within the respective census tract with an alcohol license for off-site sale and consumption as outlined below and displayed in Figure 4. Target is currently one of these license holders. These licenses include:
• Three (3) – Type 20 licenses (Authorizes the sale of beer and wine for consumption off the premises where sold. Minors are allowed on the premises) The businesses

Page 6 of 11 ends

with Type 20 licenses within the census tract are Target, Continental Gourmet – Gardena, and Arco Food Mart.
• One (1) – Type 21 license (Authorizes the sale of beer, wine and distilled spirits for consumption off the premises where sold. Minors are allowed on the premises) The business with a Type 21 license within the census tract is Friendly Liquor Market.

Figure 4: Census Tract 6034.00 Off-Site Consumption License In accordance with Section 23958.4 of the Business and Professions Code, when there is an over-concentration of alcohol licenses in a given census tract or the crime rate in the area is 20% or more above the average within a given crime reporting district (only one of these circumstances needs to exist), ABC is required to deny the alcohol license application.

Exceptions to this requirement can be made if public convenience or necessity can be established. Public Convenience or Necessity (PCN) is determined by the local governing body of the jurisdiction in which the premises lie. PCN is a discretionary action that would be decided by the City Council as part of the CUP review after considering the location, need, and surrounding land uses. The PCN is not a determination for both the public convenience and necessity; however, the City must find that the applicant demonstrates that the alcohol license will serve either a public convenience or a public necessity with the requested alcohol license.

The City does not have mandatory findings related to a PCN.

In consideration of the request, the subject retail store already serves as a major household and grocery store with a Type 20 license to sell beer and wine and changing the license to a Type 21 will not increase the number of ABC licenses issued to the census tract. In addition, with the inclusion of distilled spirits to their existing sales of beer and wine, it can be seen as a public convenience to the community, as it provides an option for patrons to purchase alcohol along

Page 7 of 11 ends

with household and grocery store items all in one place, which decreases the need and reduces vehicular trips that require customers to go to a separate store.

Based on the population ratio for the County and Census Tract, the project site is located within an area of undue concentration. ABC allows three (3) off-site sales and consumption within the Census Tract, but there are four (4). The retail store would continue to be the fourth license in the area and does not change the number of off-sales licenses within the census tract.

Sensitive Receptors
The subject property abuts multifamily dwellings to the north property line and single-family residential dwellings on the south, approximately 120 feet away. Table 2 provides the proximity of the nearest sensitive receptors to the subject property and Figure 5 identifies other nearby sensitive receptors to the subject property. There are no concerns from the Gardena Police Department (GPD) regarding the proposed use that have not been addressed in the conditions of approval. Thus, staff do not foresee any compatibility issues with the surrounding community.

There is no evidence that the proposed use will be detrimental to public health, safety, or general welfare when operating under the conditions indicated in the resolution. As such, staff feels that the finding of public convenience or necessity could be made.

REQUIRED FINDINGS:

In accordance with GMC Section 18.46.040.F, the City Council must make the following findings to grant a conditional use permit:

1. That the use applied for at the location set forth in the application is properly one for which a conditional use permit is authorized by this chapter; Pursuant to section 18.32.030.B of the GMC, a CUP is required for any establishment selling or serving alcoholic beverages for on or off-premises consumption in the General Commercial (C-3) zone. The request for the Type 21 and Type 86 licenses from the California Department of Alcohol Beverage Control (ABC), will allow the sale of beer, wine, and spirits for off-site consumption and on-site instructional tasting in a retail store.

The subject property is zoned C-3; therefore, the application for a CUP is deemed proper and will authorize the applicant to sell beer, wine, and distilled spirits for off-site consumption and host instructional tastings within the subject retail store with an approved CUP and Type 21 and Type 86 licenses from ABC.

2. That such use is necessary or desirable for the development of the community and is compatible with the surrounding uses; is in harmony with the general plan; is not detrimental to the surrounding properties, existing uses or to uses specifically permitted in the zone in which the proposed use is to be located; and will not be detrimental to the public health, safety or welfare;
The proposed use is consistent with the General Commercial (C-3) zone. The retail store is a use allowed by right in the C-3 zone per GMC.18.32.020 and approval of the CUP would permit the sale of beer, wine, and distilled spirits and instructional tastings on the premises. The project is consistent with the following General Plan Goals and Policies:
• Economic Development Plan Goal 1: Promote a growing and diverse business community that provides jobs, goods, and services for the local and regional market and maintains a sound tax base for the City.
• Economic Development Plan Goal 2: Expand, retain and revitalize quality businesses.

There is no evidence that any detrimental effects such as noise, litter, or other nuisances would occur. The sale of beer, wine, and distilled spirits and instructional tastings will be in conjunction with the operation of a retail store. The building is existing, and no additional square footage would be added to the building. With appropriate conditions of approval, the proposed Type 21 and Type 86 ABC licenses for an existing retail store use will not be detrimental to the health, safety, peace, or general welfare of surrounding residents or business owners. The conditions of approval regulate the use to have minimal impacts.

Page 9 of 11 ends

3. That the site for the intended use is adequate in size and shape to accommodate such use and all of the yards, setbacks, walls, fences, landscaping and other features required in order to adjust such use to those existing or permitted future uses on land in the neighborhood;
Target is in an existing retail store within a larger commercial property which was developed circa 1969. The applicant’s request for the modification to add distilled spirits and instructional tasting does not include any type of exterior improvements that will alter the existing building footprint nor the exterior façade. The addition of distilled spirits and instructional tastings do not cause a need for site alteration for the existing commercial building, thus adequate in size and shape to accommodate the off-site consumption of beer, wine, and distilled spirits and instructional tasting.

4. That the site for the proposed use relates to streets and highways properly designed and improved so as to carry the type and quantity of traffic generated or to be generated by the proposed use; and
The project site is located within an existing commercial property that serves the retail store. Target has one parking lot area east of the building. The inclusion of adding distilled spirits for off-site consumption as a product sold in the retail store and occasional instructional tastings on-site does not change the land use of the commercial property and no additional parking requirements are triggered. Pedestrian access to the subject property is provided by sidewalks along Redondo Beach Boulevard. Vehicle access to the subject property is provided by four (4) driveway entrances: One (1) entrance on the intersection of Manhattan Beach Boulevard and Van Ness Avenue, one (1) driveway on the northeast corner of West Redondo Beach Boulevard and Van Ness Avenue for employee parking, and two (2) driveways on the northern side of West Redondo Beach Boulevard between Van Ness Avenue and Gramercy Place
The Circulation Plan, which is part of the Community Development Element of the Gardena General Plan designates Redondo Beach Boulevard as an arterial roadway.

Arterial roadways are designed to carry larger volumes of traffic and serve as the principal urban thoroughfares connecting activity centers with adjacent communities. Van Ness Avenue is designated as a major collector street and is designed to serve as an intermediate route to carry traffic between collector roadways and arterial roadways.

Similar roadways in most cities are designated to carry moderate levels of traffic. The applicant’s request to sell beer, wine, and distilled spirits and instructional tastings as part of a retail store within the commercial property is not expected to attract excess traffic that would ultimately affect the circulation in the area as the expanded selection of alcohol products will be complimentary to the primary retail store. In addition, the applicant is not proposing any expansion of the subject property’s footprint; therefore, the site will continue to meet the parking requirements, as previously approved. Staff do not foresee any adverse traffic impacts.

Page 10 of 11 ends

5. That the conditions stated in the decision are deemed necessary to protect the public health, safety and general welfare.

The following conditions of approval have been added for the modification of Conditional Use Permit #9-04 (Exhibit 1) to ensure that the operations of Target with the sale of beer, wine, and distilled spirits and instructional tastings will be compatible with and not detrimental to the surrounding uses in the vicinity:
• The applicant is required to adhere to all operational conditions set forth by the ABC. Any breach of the regulations established by ABC regarding the sale of alcoholic beverages may lead to the revocation of this CUP. • All activities are required to occur within the confines of the enclosed building.

Loitering in the vicinity of the tenant suite is strictly prohibited.

ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT:

The project is categorically exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines pursuant to Section 15301, Class 1: Existing Facilities, which exempts negligible expansions of use in existing facilities from the provisions of CEQA. The building in which the project is proposed is existing. The project will not include any alterations to the existing building footprint nor the exterior facade as previously approved. The retail building remains a commercial property and the project is for the inclusion of ancillary sales of beer, wine, and distilled spirits for off-site consumption and on-site instructional tastings within the existing building. Therefore, the sale of beer, wine, and distilled spirits for off-site consumption and instructional tastings are seen as a negligible expansion of use.

The project is not subject to any exceptions to the exemptions under Section 15300.2 of the CEQA. The cumulative impact of the incidental sale of alcoholic beverages for off-site consumption and on-site instructional tastings in a retail store is not considered significant. The project is not located along any state-designated scenic highway nor within any designated hazardous waste site. The building where the sale of alcohol is taking place is not considered a significant historical structure by any governmental body. Staff do not expect any significant impacts or unusual circumstances related to the approval of this project.

Therefore, the proposed project is eligible for categorical exemption from CEQA.

NOTICING:

The public hearing notice for Environmental Assessment #13-25 and modification of Conditional Use Permit #9-04 was published in the Gardena Valley News and mailed first class to owners and occupants within a 300-foot radius of the site on February 26, 2026. Notice was also provided to those persons or entities that have requested notification of CEQA projects. A copy of Proof of Publication and Affidavit of Mailing are on file in the office of the Community Development Department Room 101 of City Hall and are considered part of the administrative record.

Page 11 of 11 ends

CONCLUSION:

Following this, the City Council should consider the adoption of Resolution No. 6730 to approve the project.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Considering that alcohol occupies less than 10-percent of Target’s total floor area and only encompasses a very small portion of Target’s overall sales, the additional annual sales tax revenue from the sales of distilled spirits would be minimal.

NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GARDENA DOES HEREBY RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:

SECTION 1. MODIFICATION OF CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT #9-04 FINDINGS.

The modification of Conditional Use Permit #9-04 to allow the sale of beer, wine, and distilled spirits for off-site consumption and instructional tastings ancillary to an existing retail store, located in the C-3 zone, is hereby approved based on the following findings and is subject to the conditions attached hereto as Exhibit 1 and as shown on the plans presented to the City Council on May 10, 2026, attached hereto as Exhibit 2.

Resolution No. 6730
2 A. The use applied for at the location set forth in the application is properly one for which a conditional use permit is authorized by this chapter.

Pursuant to Section 18.32.030.B of the GMC, a CUP is required for any establishment selling or serving alcoholic beverages for on or off-premises consumption in the General Commercial (C-3) zone. The request for the Type 21 and Type 86 licenses from the California Department of Alcohol Beverage Control (ABC), will allow the sale of beer, wine, and spirits for off-site consumption and on-site instructional tasting in a retail store.

B. Such use is necessary or desirable for the development of the community and is compatible with the surrounding uses, is in harmony with the general plan, is not detrimental to the surrounding properties, existing uses, or to uses specifically permitted in the zone in which the proposed use is to be located, and will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare.

The proposed use is consistent with the General Commercial (C-3) zone. The retail store is a use allowed by right in the C-3 zone per GMC.18.32.020 and approval of the CUP would permit the sale of beer, wine, and distilled spirits and instructional tastings on the premises.

The Project is consistent with the following General Plan Goals:
• Economic Development Plan Goal 1: Promote a growing and diverse business community that provides jobs, goods, and services for the local and regional market and maintains a sound tax base for the City.
• Economic Development Plan Goal 2: Expand, retain and revitalize quality businesses.

There is no evidence that any detrimental effects such as: noise, litter, or other nuisances would occur. The sale of beer, wine, and distilled spirits and instructional tastings will be in conjunction with the operation of a retail store. The building is existing, and no additional square footage would be added to the building. With appropriate conditions of approval, the proposed Type 21 and Type 86 ABC licenses for an existing retail store use will not be detrimental to the health, safety, peace, or general welfare of surrounding residents or business owners. The conditions of approval regulate the use to have minimal impacts.

C. The site for the intended use is adequate in size and shape to accommodate such use and all of the yards, setbacks, walls, fences, landscaping, and other features required in order to adjust such use to those existing or permitted future uses on land in the neighborhood.

Resolution No. 6730
3 Target is in an existing retail store within a larger commercial property which was developed circa 1969. The applicant’s request for the modification to add distilled spirits and instructional tasting does not include any type of exterior improvements that will alter the existing building footprint nor the exterior façade. The addition of distilled spirits and instructional tastings do not cause a need for site alteration for the existing commercial building, thus adequate in size and shape to accommodate the off-site consumption of beer, wine, and distilled spirits and instructional tasting.

D. The site for the proposed use relates to streets and highways properly designed and improved so as to carry the type of quantity of traffic generated or to be generated by the proposed use.

The project site is located within an existing commercial property that serves the retail store. Target has one parking lot area east of the building. The inclusion of adding distilled spirits for off-site consumption as a product sold in the retail store and occasional instructional tastings on-site does not change the land-use of the commercial property and no additional parking requirements are triggered. Pedestrian access to the subject property is provided by sidewalks along Redondo Beach Boulevard. Vehicle access to the subject property is provided by four (4) driveway entrances: One (1) entrance on the intersection of Manhattan Beach Boulevard and Van Ness Avenue, one (1) driveway on the northeast corner of West Redondo Beach Boulevard and Van Ness Avenue for employee parking, and two (2) driveways on the northern side of West Redondo Beach Boulevard between Van Ness Avenue and Gramercy Place
The Circulation Plan, which is part of the Community Development Element of the Gardena General Plan designates Redondo Beach Boulevard as an arterial roadway.

E. The conditions stated in the decision are deemed necessary to protect the public health, safety and general welfare.

Resolution No. 6730
4 • The applicant is required to adhere to all operational conditions set forth by the ABC. Any breach of the regulations established by ABC regarding the sale of alcoholic beverages may lead to the revocation of this CUP. • All activities are required to occur within the confines of the enclosed building.

Loitering in the vicinity of the tenant suite is strictly prohibited.

SECTION 2. CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT FINDINGS.

The Project is exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), pursuant to the following exemption:

A. Class 1—Section 15301 - Existing Facilities - the building in which the retail store is operating is existing. Allowing the sales of beer, wine, and distilled spirits for offsite consumption and on-site instructional tastings in conjunction with an allowedby-right retail store does not qualify as an expansion of use.

B. The project is not subject to any of the exceptions to the exemptions under Section 15300.2 of the California Environmental Quality Act. The cumulative impact of the incidental sale of alcoholic beverages for off-site consumption and on-site instructional tastings in a retail store is not considered significant. The project is not located along any state-designated scenic highway nor within any designated hazardous waste site. The building where the sale of alcohol is taking place is not considered a significant historical structure by any governmental body. Staff do not expect any significant impacts or unusual circumstances related to the approval of this project.

C. Staff is hereby directed to file a Notice of Exemption.

SECTION 3. PUBLIC CONVENIENCE OR NESSESITY DETERMINATION.

The City Council finds that the request to modify the CUP to allow the sales of distilled spirits in addition to beer and wine for off-site consumption within an existing retail store that sells groceries and household items is a public convenience. Per the California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC), based on the population ratio within the County and the Census Tract, the project site is located in an area of undue concentration for alcohol licenses. Although the Census Tract has an over-concentration of licenses, the proposed use will provide for public convenience. The applicant is a current Type 20 ABC license holder and the application for a Type 21 will not change the amount of licenses issued within the Census Tract. Target is a retail store that sells groceries and household items. The sales of beer, wine, and distilled spirits will offer the same convenience for purchasing alcohol as other retailers in the area. Alcohol is a small percentage of Target’s overall sales; allowing such sales decreases the need and reduces vehicular trips that require customers to go to a separate store. There is no evidence that the use will be detrimental to public health, safety, and general welfare when operating in compliance with the conditions of approval. As such, the finding for public convenience or necessity could be made
Resolution No. 6730
5 SECTION 4. Custodian of Record. Each and every one of the findings and determinations in this Resolution are based on the competent and substantial evidence, both oral and written, contained in the entire record relating to the Project. All summaries of information in the findings which precede this section are based on the entire record.

The absence of any particular fact from any such summary is not an indication that a particular finding is not based in part on that fact. The documents and materials that constitute the record of proceedings on which these findings and approval are based are located in the Community Development Department at City Hall, 1700 W. 162nd Street, Gardena, California 90247. The Custodian of Records is Greg Tsujiuchi, Community Development Director who can be reached at 310/217-9546 or [email protected].

SECTION 5. Effective Date. This Resolution shall be effective immediately.

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City Clerk shall certify to the passage and adoption of this Resolution; shall cause the same to be entered among the original Resolutions of said City; and shall make a minute of the passage and adoption thereof in the records of the proceedings of the City Council of said City in the minutes of the meeting at which the same is passed and adopted.

Passed, approved, and adopted this 10th day of March, 2026.

On September 17, 2025, the Target Corporation submitted an application for a modification of its existing conditional use permit (CUP) to allow the sale of beer, wine, and distilled spirits for off-site consumption and instructional tastings ancillary to an existing retail store (the “Project”) known as Target, located at 2169 West Redondo Beach Boulevard, (the “Property”).

B. The General Plan Land Use Plan designation of the Property is Commercial, and the zoning is C-3 (Commercial).

C. The Property is bounded by Commercial (C-2) properties to the west, Medium Density Multifamily Residential (R-3) and C-3 properties to the north, C-3 properties to the east, and the City of Torrance to the south.

D. On January 8, 2026, a public hearing was duly noticed for Planning and Environmental Quality Commission meeting for January 20, 2026, at 7 PM.

E. On January 20, 2026, the Planning and Environmental Quality Commission held a duly noticed public hearing at which time it considered all material and evidence presented by staff, the applicant, and the public, whether written or oral, and has considered the procedures and the standards required by the Gardena Municipal Code (GMC).

SECTION 2. MODIFICATION OF CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT #9-04 FINDINGS The modification of Conditional Use Permit #9-04 to allow the sale of beer, wine, and distilled spirits for off-site consumption and instructional tastings ancillary to an existing RESO NO. PC 2-26; MOD CUP #9-04; EA# 13-25

retail store, located in the C-3 zone, is hereby approved based on the following findings and is subject to the conditions attached hereto as Exhibit 1 and as shown on the plans presented to the Planning and Environmental Quality Commission on January 20, 2026, attached hereto as Exhibit 2.

1. That the use applied for at the location set forth in the application is properly one for which a conditional use permit is authorized by this chapter; Pursuant to Section 18.32.030.B of the GMC, a CUP is required for any establishment selling or serving alcoholic beverages for on or off-premises consumption in the General Commercial (C-3) zone. The request for the Type 21 and Type 86 licenses from the California Department of Alcohol Beverage Control (ABC), will allow the sale of beer, wine, and spirits for off-site consumption and onsite instructional tasting in a retail store. The subject property is zoned C-3; therefore, the application for a CUP is deemed proper and will authorize the applicant to sell beer, wine, and distilled spirits for off-site consumption and host instructional tastings within the subject retail store with an approved CUP and Type 21 and Type 86 licenses from ABC.

2. That such use is necessary or desirable for the development of the community and is compatible with the surrounding uses, is in harmony with the general plan, is not detrimental to the surrounding properties, existing uses, or to uses specifically permitted in the zone in which the proposed use is to be located, and will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare;
The proposed use is consistent with the General Commercial (C-3) zone. The retail store is a use allowed by right in the C-3 zone per GMC.18.32.020 and approval of the CUP would permit the sale of beer, wine, and distilled spirits and instructional tastings on the premises. The project is consistent with the following General Plan Goals and Policies:
• Economic Development Plan Goal 1: Promote a growing and diverse business community that provides jobs, goods, and services for the local and regional market and maintains a sound tax base for the City. • Economic Development Plan Goal 2: Expand, retain and revitalize quality businesses.

existing, and no additional square footage would be added to the building. With appropriate conditions of approval, the proposed Type 21 and Type 86 ABC licenses for an existing retail store use will not be detrimental to the health, safety, peace, or general welfare of surrounding residents or business owners. The conditions of approval regulate the use to have minimal impacts.

3. That the site for the intended use is adequate in size and shape to accommodate such use and all of the yards, setbacks, walls, fences, landscaping, and other features required in order to adjust such use to those existing or permitted future uses on land in the neighborhood; Target is in an existing retail store within a larger commercial property which was developed circa 1969. The applicant’s request for the modification to add distilled spirits and instructional tasting does not include any type of exterior improvements that will alter the existing building footprint nor the exterior façade. The addition of distilled spirits and instructional tastings do not cause a need for site alteration for the existing commercial building, thus adequate in size and shape to accommodate the off-site consumption of beer, wine, and distilled spirits and instructional tasting.

4. That the site for the proposed use relates to streets and highways properly designed and improved so as to carry the type of quantity of traffic generated or to be generated by the proposed use;
The project site is located within an existing commercial property that serves the retail store. Target has one parking lot area east of the building. The inclusion of adding distilled spirits for off-site consumption as a product sold in the retail store and occasional instructional tastings on-site does not change the land-use of the commercial property and no additional parking requirements are triggered.

Pedestrian access to the subject property is provided by sidewalks along Redondo Beach Boulevard. Vehicle access to the subject property is provided by four (4) driveway entrances: One (1) entrance on the intersection of Manhattan Beach Boulevard and Van Ness Avenue, one (1) driveway on the northeast corner of West Redondo Beach Boulevard and Van Ness Avenue for employee parking, and two (2) driveways on the northern side of West Redondo Beach Boulevard between Van Ness Avenue and Gramercy Place
The Circulation Plan, which is part of the Community Development Element of the Gardena General Plan designates Redondo Beach Boulevard as an arterial roadway. Arterial roadways are designed to carry larger volumes of traffic and serve as the principal urban thoroughfares connecting activity centers with adjacent communities. Van Ness Avenue is designated as a major collector street RESO NO. PC 2-26; MOD CUP #9-04; EA# 13-25
January 20, 2026

Page 4 of 6 ends

and is designed to serve as an intermediate route to carry traffic between collector roadways and arterial roadways. Similar roadways in most cities are designated to carry moderate levels of traffic. The applicant’s request to sell beer, wine, and distilled spirits and instructional tastings as part of a retail store within the commercial property is not expected to attract excess traffic that would ultimately affect the circulation in the area as the expanded selection of alcohol products will be complimentary to the primary retail store. In addition, the applicant is not proposing any expansion of the subject property’s footprint; therefore, the site will continue to meet the parking requirements, as previously approved. Staff do not foresee any adverse traffic impacts.

5. That the conditions stated in the decisions are deemed necessary to protect the public health, safety, and general welfare.

SECTION 3. CALIFORNIA ENVIROMENTAL QUALITY ACT (EA #13-25) The project is exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), pursuant to the following exemption:

A. Section 15301 Class 1, Existing Facilities - the building in which the retail store is operating is existing. Allowing the sales of beer, wine, and distilled spirits for offsite consumption and on-site instructional tastings in conjunction with an allowedby-right retail store does not qualify as an expansion of use.

RESO NO. PC 2-26; MOD CUP #9-04; EA# 13-25
January 20, 2026

Page 5 of 6 ends

C. Staff are hereby directed to file a Notice of Exemption.

SECTION 4. PUBLIC CONVENIENCE OR NECESSITY DETERMINATION The Planning and Environmental Quality Commission finds that the request to modify the CUP to allow the sales of distilled spirits in addition to beer and wine for off-site consumption within an existing retail store that sells groceries and household items is a public convenience. Per the California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC), based on the population ratio within the County and the Census Tract, the project site is located in an area of undue concentration for alcohol licenses. Although the Census Tract has an over-concentration of licenses, the proposed use will provide for public convenience. The applicant is a current Type 20 ABC license holder and the application for a Type 21 will not change the amount of licenses issued within the Census Tract.

Target is a retail store that sells groceries and household items. The sales of beer, wine, and distilled spirits will offer the same convenience for purchasing alcohol as other retailers in the area. Alcohol is a small percentage of Target’s overall sales; allowing such sales decreases the need and reduces vehicular trips that require customers to go to a separate store. There is no evidence that the use will be detrimental to public health, safety, and general welfare when operating in compliance with the conditions of approval.

As such, the finding for public convenience or necessity could be made.

SECTION 5. APPEAL
The approvals granted by this Resolution may be appealed within 10 calendar days from adoption of this Resolution. All appeals must be in writing and filed with the City Clerk within this time period with the appropriate fee. Failure to file a timely written appeal will constitute a waiver of any right of appeal. The City Council may also call this matter for review within the same time period.

SECTION 6. RECORD
Each and every one of the findings and determinations in this Resolution are based on the competent and substantial evidence, both oral and written, contained in the entire record relating to the Project. All summaries of information in the findings which precede this section are based on the entire record. The absence of any particular fact from any such summary is not an indication that a particular finding is not based in part on that fact.

SECTION 7. CUSTODIAN OF RECORD
The Custodian of Record for the proceedings relating to the Project is Greg Tsujiuchi, Community Development Director, City of Gardena, 1700 West 162nd Street, Gardena, California 90247. Mr. Tsujiuchi’s email is [email protected] and his phone number is (310) 217-9530.

COUNCIL ACTION REQUIRED:

Staff Recommendation: Approve Agreement
RECOMMENDATION AND STAFF SUMMARY:

Townsend Public Affairs, Inc. (TPA), was hired by the City of Gardena in March 2022 to assist in securing state and federal funding for its priority projects. Efforts to advance the City's priority projects included the pursuit of earmarks in the State budget and Federal appropriations bills for Fiscal Years 2022-23, 2023-24, 2024-25, and 2025-26. TPA partnered with the City to develop, advocate, and secure several major wins with our elected leaders in Sacramento and in Washington, DC. The TPA/City team worked together to secure over $13.7 million in direct funding for priority projects identified by the City, including the following highlights:
$4 million for the Digital Equity for all Bridging the Digital Divide (Championed by Assembly Member Muratsuchi)
$2 million for the Gardena Boulevard Revitalization (Championed by Senator Bradford) $1 million for the Rosecrans Community Center (Championed by Congresswoman Waters) $3 million for Rowley Park Gymnasium (Championed by Senator Bradford) $2 million for Mas Fukai Park (Championed by Senator Allen) $122,410 for the Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant (EECBG) program for Electric Vehicles $550,000 for the Gardena Juvenile Justice & Intervention Program (Championed by Congresswoman Waters) $1 million for Mas Fukai Park (Championed by Congresswoman Waters) Currently, TPA is requesting $1.7 million for Community Safety and Auto Theft Reduction Program and $3 million for Police Department Critical Infrastructure Upgrades. Along with these requests, TPA is also assisting the City in applying for a $6 million grant for the Mas Fukai Rehabilitation project through California State Parks Statewide Park Development and Community Revitalization Program. TPA fees have increased by $3,000, or 3.6%, from prior fiscal year and a first increase in fees since March 2022, when the City first contracted with TPA. Total fees to date have totaled $336,000, while TPA has been able to secure over $13.7 million in funding which comes to a 4,069% return on investment for the City.

Staff recommends that the City Council approve a one-year contract with Townsend Public Affairs, Inc. (TPA), in the amount of $87,000, to provide legislative advocacy and grant funding services.

Dear Mr. Osorio:

Thank you for the opportunity for Townsend Public Affairs, Inc. (“TPA”) to submit our proposal for Legislative Advocacy and Grant Writing to the City of Gardena (“City”).

Over the past several years, TPA has worked closely with City leadership and staff to secure more than $12 million in state and federal funding for priority community projects.

Since our inception in 1998, TPA has earned the reputation as a Champion for Better Communities by providing the experience, resources, and relationships expected from a premier legislative advocacy and grant writing firm while also giving clients the unique brand of customer service they deserve: personal attention, maximum accessibility, and passion for their mission.

Our strategic approach to advocacy and funding is tailored to meet the individual needs of each client by leveraging the breadth and depth of our team as well as our vast network of relationships with key stakeholders and decision makers.

Over the years, TPA has been proud to secure more than $3.2 billion in competitive grants and appropriations and to successfully advance more than 150 pieces of legislation on behalf of our clients. But beyond the numbers, what sets us apart is our dedication to helping communities like Gardena turn bold ideas into reality, whether securing new funding, shaping statewide or national policy, or protecting vital resources that your residents rely on.

Thank you again for your interest in our firm and your consideration of this proposal. Please contact us if you have any questions or need additional information. We would be honored to continue to serve the City of Gardena.

Yours truly,
Christopher Townsend

GRANT WRITING SCOPE OF SERVICES
TPA will utilize the following strategic and comprehensive approach to provide grant writing services to the City:
• Craft Strategic Funding Plan: Utilizing the information gathered during the onboarding process, TPA will coordinate with the City to develop a proactive and comprehensive strategic funding plan that serves the needs of the City’s priorities. The plan will do more than identify City projects; it will outline and prioritize multiple funding options for each project and develop a specific work plan tailored to each project. It will also identify key “strings attached” to help assess the cost/benefit ratio for each grant opportunity. • Identify, Research, and Monitor Grant Funding Opportunities: TPA will utilize list-serve subscription programs, funding workshops, agency canvassing, and other networking tactics to ensure every potential opportunity is identified and reviewed for relevance with the City’s projects. TPA will then share these opportunities with the City for further assessment and determination if a grant application is warranted. The City will also receive a grant matrix of funding programs that is updated regularly as new opportunities arise. • Community Outreach: TPA will assist the City with community outreach required for grant applications by ensuring the City is aware of specific requirements, helping develop materials that capture all the elements needed by the grant, and compiling the outreach data for inclusion in the application.
• Grant Application Development and Submittal: TPA will develop, draft, submit, and follow up on each City grant application through the following process:
o Establishment of Clear Accountabilities: TPA will coordinate with the City to ensure the assignment of responsibilities and tasks is clear so that confusion and inefficiency are avoided and the City is burdened as little as possible while TPA pursues a grant opportunity.
o Provide Overview of Full Application Requirements: For each grant application, TPA will provide the City with a detailed overview of the requirements for the grant program and corresponding application to ensure that the program is a strong fit for the City’s project. This will include:
 Application timeline
 Eligible project types
 Funding availability and award maximums and minimums
 List of application components, including proposal questions and any required attachments
o Assemble Project Background and Details: TPA will conduct a detailed informational interview with the City staff most involved with each project to fully understand the project background and scope details necessary for developing the grant proposal and addressing all application questions. o Coordinate Technical Project Details: For technical application components such as site plans, detailed cost estimates, project timelines, engineering plans, and costbenefit analyses, TPA will coordinate with City staff to compile all necessary attachments and ensure consistency across all application elements.

SCOPE OF SERVICES
o Draft Written Proposal: TPA will fully draft all narrative components of the application and, when applicable, will indicate where additional input or project detail from the City could be provided during the proposal review process.
o Incorporate Feedback to Finalize Proposal: Well ahead of the application deadline, TPA will provide the City with a complete draft for review and feedback. TPA will incorporate any additional details or revisions provided during this process to finalize the grant application and obtain City approval for the final version before submission. o Submit Completed Application: TPA will ensure that applications are submitted before the deadline, whether electronically or in hard copies, per the submission instructions for each program. For hard copy submissions, TPA will print and package applications according to submission instructions and ship them through a reliable courier service such as FedEx to provide the City with tracking and delivery confirmation. TPA will also obtain a receipt for proof of submission and provide the City with a final copy of all submitted application documents. o Funding Advocacy: Throughout the grant application process, TPA will leverage relationships with relevant officials and program officers in various state and federal funding agencies to ensure that City grant applications align with the goals of the specific grant program and are well-crafted and well-positioned for funding. • Post-Grant Submittal Advocacy: TPA will frequently contact legislators and agency officials to follow up on the status of a grant application and promote its need and urgency. This will include drafting letters of support after grant submissions and distributing them to legislators for their consideration. In addition, TPA will work with legislators to reach out to individual granting agencies to provide background on the City’s projects and convey their support. • Post-Award Grant Administration and Compliance: TPA will also assist, as needed, with post-award administration and compliance for all grant applications submitted by TPA on behalf of the City. This assistance will include interacting with granting agencies on behalf of the City, providing support for the drafting and submitting required reports and evaluations, and other tasks related to the successful monitoring of and compliance with the program requirements.
• Post-Award Services—Above and Beyond Advocacy: TPA has a track record of success with post-award grant administration and retention. TPA has worked on behalf of clients who, due to unforeseen circumstances, need to request an extension of the grant performance period to accomplish project deliverables. TPA is prepared to engage in the legislative process and work with legislators to get bills passed that would allow the City to retain its grant funding after the performance period would have otherwise ended. Additionally, TPA is prepared to work directly with the City and agencies to secure scope of work changes to already awarded projects to ensure the City will not have to return any hard-won grant funding. • Comprehensive Follow-Up on Unsuccessful Applications: Despite all best efforts, some grant applications are not selected for funding. When grant applications are unsuccessful, TPA will work with the relevant state and federal funding agencies to set up in-person or telephone debriefing sessions to discuss them and how to best revise them for the next funding round to ensure success.

AGENDA REPORT

SUMMARY
Agenda Item No. 17A.

Section: DEPARTMENTAL

ITEMS - PUBLIC WORKS
Meeting Date: March 10,
2026
TO: THE HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE GARDENA CITY COUNCIL AGENDA TITLE: Award Construction Contract for the Annual Sewer Improvements FY 2024/2025 and 2025/2026 Project, JN 546/555, to Southwest Pipeline and Trenchless Corp. in the amount of $3,116,092, and Construction Management and Inspection Services to Cannon in the amount of $230,702. Additionally, approve the Project Plans and Specifications, Budget Appropriation, Project Contingency of $320,000 (10%), and Declare California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Exemption
COUNCIL ACTION REQUIRED:

Staff Recommendation:

Approve Construction Contract
Approve Project Plans and Specifications
Approve Budget Appropriation and Contingency
Approve Construction Management and Inspection Support Services Declare CEQA Exemption
RECOMMENDATION AND STAFF SUMMARY:

In September 2023, the City completed a Sewer Master Plan. The Master Plan evaluated each sewer main and assigned a Maximum Severity Grade ranging from 1 to 5, with 5 indicating the most severe condition. The Annual Sewer Improvement FY 2024/2025 and 2025/2026 Project consist of furnishing all labor, materials, tools, equipment, appurtenances, and incidentals for the lining of approximately 39,000 linear feet of Grade 5 (most severe condition) sewer mains and 110 manholes. Sewer lining is a process that reinforces existing pipes from the inside, helping to prevent leaks and extend their lifespan without digging them up. Sewer lift station improvements were also identified in the Sewer Master Plan and are included in the scope of work.

In January 2026, the design was completed and Public Works finalized the plans and specifications, then published a bid request in CR Planwell, Gardena Valley News, and the City website. The following two (2) bids were received on February 4, 2026.

Organization Bid Amount

1. Southwest Pipeline and Trenchless Corp. $3,116,092

2. Sancon Technologies $3,603,590
The lowest responsive bidder, Southwest Pipeline and Trenchless Corp., is a state-licensed contractor with proven experience in this field. Their references have been verified and they will be required to meet all bonding and financial standards. The construction duration is 100 working days, including some nights.

Requests for Construction Management and Inspection Services were issued to three (3) on-call consultants on January 14, 2026. Two proposals were received on February 19, 2026. One declined to submit a proposal. Cannon submitted a proposal in the amount of $230,702, while Transtech submitted a proposal totaling $256,000 ($226,000 excluding materials testing and inspection costs). When adjusted to reflect a comparable scope of services, Cannon’s proposal is $4,702 higher than Transtech’s.

While Cannon’s cost is slightly higher, the firm was more actively engaged throughout the review process, and its proposal was more comprehensive, clearly presented, and thoughtfully developed. The $4,702 difference represents approximately a 2% variance, which is minimal in relation to the overall contract value and is justified by the quality, responsiveness, and demonstrated understanding reflected in Cannon’s proposal.

Staff recommends that the City Council approve the award of the construction contract for the Annual Sewer Improvements FY 2024/2025 and 2025/2026, JN 546/555 to Southwest Pipeline and Trenchless Corp. in the amount of $3,116,092 and additionally:
a. Award the Construction Management and Inspection Services to Cannon in the amount of $230,702. b. Approve the project Plans and Specifications.
c. Approve a project contingency in the amount of $320,000 (10% of the construction contract) to be utilized for Project contingency for potential unforeseen conditions. d. Declare this project to be categorically exempt under CEQA, Class 1, Section 15301, as rehabilitation of existing facilities.

FISCAL IMPACT/COST:

Source of Funds:

Annual Sewer Improvements FY 24/25, JN 546 - Sewer
Funds $2,972,984
Annual Sewer Improvements FY 25/26, JN 555 - Sewer

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
The bidder's attention is directed to the Special Provisions and Technical Provisions bound herein for additional requirements of the Proposal and Contract Documents.

CONTRACT DOCUMENTS
Contract Documents are to be submitted within twenty-one (21) calendar days AFTER award of contract unless extended by agreement of the City. Failure to timely submit executed Contract Documents may be grounds for rejecting the bid award and forfeiture of the bid security. See enclosed documents commencing on page CD-1.

DECLARATION OF ELIGIBILITY TO CONTRACT
[Labor Code Section 1777.1; Public Contract Code Section 6109] The undersigned, a duly authorized representative of the contractor, certifies and declares that:

1. The undersigned contractor is aware of Sections 1777.1 and 1777.7 of the California Labor Code, which prohibit a contractor or subcontractor who has been found by the Labor Commissioner or the Director of Industrial Relations to be in violation of certain provisions of the Labor Code, from bidding on, being awarded, or performing work as a subcontractor on a public works project for specified periods of time.

2. The undersigned contractor is not ineligible to bid on, be awarded or perform work as a subcontractor on a public works project by virtue of Sections 1771.1 or 1777.7 of the California Labor Code or any other provision of law.

3. The undersigned contractor is aware of California Public Contract Code Section 6109, which states:
“(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. Every public works project shall contain a provision prohibiting a contractor from performing work on a public works project with a subcontractor who is ineligible to perform work on the public works project pursuant to Section 1771.1 or 1777.7 of the Labor Code.” “(b) Any contract on a public works project entered into between a contractor and a debarred subcontractor is void as a matter of law. A debarred subcontractor may not receive any public money for performing work as a subcontractor on a public works contract, and any public money that may have been paid to a debarred subcontractor by a contractor on the project shall be returned to the awarding body. The contractor shall be responsible for the payment of wages to workers of a debarred subcontractor who has been allowed to work on the project.”

4. The undersigned contractor has investigated the eligibility of each and every subcontractor the undersigned contractor intends to use on this public works project, and has determined that none of them are ineligible to perform work as a subcontractor on a public works project by virtue of the foregoing provisions of the Public Contract Code, Sections 1771.1 or 1777.7 of the Labor Code, or any other provision of law.

I declare under penalty of perjury under the laws of the State of California that the foregoing is true and correct. Executed this ______ day of _________, 20 _, at ________________ ________ (place of execution),

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.

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.

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.

GP-3
Bids subsequently shown to be mathematically unbalanced would be rejected as nonresponsive.

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.

Only manufacturers or contractors of established reputation, or their duly authorized dealers or agency, having proper facilities for the manufacture of the materials or equipment and for servicing same, or for proper execution of the work called for in the contract, will be considered in making the award.
1-7.6 Execution of Contract. A bidder whose proposal is accepted shall properly sign a written contract with the Agency on the form attached hereto and return said contract together with good and approved bonds and insurance certificates as required by the Contract Documents within twenty-one (21) calendar days from the date of the mailing of a notice from the Agency to the bidder, according to the address given by him, of acceptance of his proposal.

Contract bonds and certificates of insurance, if required, shall be filed in all instances before delivering any equipment, materials, or performing any work under the contract; also before any purchase order shall be issued. An executed Power of Attorney form shall be submitted with all contract bonds herein specified.

If a bidder whose proposal is accepted fails or refuses to enter into a contract as herein provided, or to conform to any stipulated requirement in connection therewith, the money represented by his check or bidder’s bond shall be refunded less the difference between the low bid and the bid of the bidder with whom the Agency enters into an agreement in accordance with the provisions of the Public Contracts Code Section 20174. At the discretion of the Agency, an award may be made to the bidder whose proposal is next most acceptable to the Agency, and such bidder and his surety shall fulfill every stipulation embraced herein as if he were the party to whom the first award was made.

A corporation to which an award is made may be required before the contract is finally signed to GP-4
furnish evidence of its corporate existence, of its right to do business in California and of the authority of the officer signing the contract and bonds for the corporation to so sign. 1-7.7 Return of Proposal and Guarantee. The check or bond of a bidder to whom the contract has been awarded will be returned to him after all of the acts, for the performance of which said security is required, have been fully performed. The checks or bid bonds of the second and third lowest bidders will be returned when the bidder to whom the contract has been awarded has properly executed all of the required Contract Documents. Check or bid bonds of other bidders will be returned when their proposals are rejected or in any event at the expiration of forty-five (45) days from the date of opening bids.
1-7.8 Precedence of Contract Documents. The order of precedence of contract document shall be:

RE: REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL: CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT AND INSPECTION SERVICES – ANNUAL SEWER IMPROVEMENTS FY 2024/2025 AND FY 2025/2026 VARIOUS LOCATIONS, JN 546/555 Dear Mr. De Castro:

The City of Gardena (City) has prioritized public infrastructure upkeep and maintenance, and the referenced Annual Sewer Improvements project is a key part of this effort to bring value and safety to the community and residents.

We understand that the project generally consists of camera inspections and cleanings of existing sewers, installing sewer liners, manhole rehabilitation, and select improvements at various lift stations. Construction items include demolition, installation of liner systems, concrete repair and minor flatwork, installation of fall protection systems, minor paving, and implementation of traffic control. Cannon also formally acknowledges the change of the project duration from 85 working days to 100 working days.

Cannon’s Construction Management Division holds a 50-year successful history of working on public infrastructure projects. Our team members have direct experience managing and inspecting similar projects, one of which was for the City of Huntington Park, that will provide significant value to the City of Gardena in making this project a success.

We value our relationship with the City of Gardena and I will have regular check-ins to ensure satisfaction with our services. Thank you in advance and I look forward to hearing from you.

Sincerely,
Joshua Knoefler, PE No. 66577
