STATEMENT OF WORK
EXPANSION OF THE REDONDO BEACH PALLET SHELTER
1.0 OVERVIEW
In December of 2020, the City of Redondo Beach ( the City) placed fifteen ( 15) adults from the streets into newly built tiny homes from the Pallet Company at a site located at 1521 1/2 Kingsdale Avenue in the City (" Pallet Shelter"). In September of 2022, the City added five more units, bringing the total to twenty (20) tiny homes at the Pallet Shelter. To date, fifty-five ( 55) adults who stayed at the Pallet Shelter have been permanently housed. That is a 56% exit rate from interim housing to permanent housing; whereas the percentage of exits from shelter to permanent housing solutions within the City’s Service Planning Area ("SPA"), SPA 8, is 17%. All twenty ( 20) units are always occupied, and there is always a waitlist for people experiencing street homelessness.
The City's Pallet Shelter was built and operates in partnership with the County of Los Angeles (" County"). The Pallet Shelter has a useful life of 10 years. The service provider that manages the shelter is Harbor Interfaith Services who provides full wrap-around services, including health and behavioral services, employment assistance, case-management, and housing navigation. The noncongregate setting makes residents feel safer than congregate shelters, particularly for women and elderly.
The existing Pallet Shelter is located in an industrial zone in the City. Immediately north of and contiguous to the site of the Pallet Shelter, there is a vacant lot that is the property of the City. The City Council has approved this lot for the expansion of the Pallet Shelter if funding is identified. Using this lot for the additional units would result in cost savings per bed given the original Pallet Shelter is already there.
The total cost to expand the Pallet Shelter is estimated to be up to $1,568,000. Los Angeles County Supervisorial District Two is contributing $ 800,000 to the City for the capital cost of expanding the Pallet Shelter.
2.0 PROJECT
The Project funded in part by this agreement will support the City to add twentyfive (25) units at the identified lot immediately north of and contiguous to the Pallet Shelter located at 1521 1/2 Kingsdale Avenue in the City to be used as emergency interim housing for people experiencing homelessness so that they can be safely

housed while they create, and complete housing plans and behavioral health plans as needed to become permanently housed.
3.0 TASKS/ DELIVERABLES
The City shall complete the following tasks and deliverables:
Task
No.
Task Deliverable
1 Site Plan
Plans will be developed that incorporate grading of
the property to meet existing land conditions and
incorporate ADA access, shelter pad placement,
sewer grading for restrooms and general
accessibility.
Within 30 days of
approval of the Site
Plan, provide a
copy to County.
2 Electrical Engineering
The electrical infrastructure of the original shelter
was designed for a temporary facility with a sixmonth to one-year lifespan. This was done utilizing temporary power poles to provide electricity to the
shelter and office units. While this setup has worked
effectively, it was installed as a temporary measure.
An expanded shelter would need to have permanent
electrical supplied to the site through the installation of long-term support structures. It should be noted
that Southern California Edison is likely to require
the City to proceed with a permanent electrical
installation at the existing pallet site, irrespective of expansion.
Within 30 days of
completion, provide
County with proof of
permanent
electrical
installations.
3 Building Plan Design and Architecture
The original shelter was based on a temporary
concept. New longer-term structure installation will
be required to be supported with restroom and
shower facilities, electrical, mechanical, and
plumbing that meet current housing standards, and
level foundations to anchor the units in a more
permanent fashion. Architectural and planning
designs would need to be developed for review by
LACHD Building & Safety, and the Fire Department.
Within 30 days of
completion, City to
provide County with
documentation of
installation of
required electrical,
mechanical, and
plumbing.

AGREEMENT NUMBER: AO-24-006
4 Grading, Paving and Accessibility and Retainment/
Construction and Installation
Constructing and installing 25 new shelter units and
support elements will require grading, paving, and
accessibility upgrades, as well as the addition of
permanent electrical and plumbing services to
current code standards. The upgrades will serve
purposes beyond the pallet shelter program. The
electrical upgrades will be helpful for maintenance
and operations. It is likely that the permanent power
would be used to charge equipment batteries and
vehicles and provide onsite lighting and camera
security.
Within 30 days of
completion, City to
provide upon
receipt proof of
permitting for
grading, paving,
and other
upgrades.
5 Electrical and Plumbing
The City will complete all necessary electrical work
on site. The City will complete all necessary
plumbing work on the site.
Within 30 days of
completion, provide
County with a copy
of completed
electrical and
plumbing work.
6 Restroom and Showers
The City will ensure that restrooms and showers are
built to adequately accommodate the additional
shelters.
Within 30 days of
completion, provide
County with
documentation for
the added restroom
and shower
facilities
