Ave.
The City submitted its land license application in July 2021, receiving approval in April 2022.
Architerra Design Group (ADG) was retained to prepare the final design and construction documents.
The project included the installation of pedestrian pathways, native plantings, irrigation and storm drainage systems, site furnishings, and stormwater collection features intended to transform the area into an urban passive nature park.
City staff worked closely with SCE over a two-year period to ensure compliance with right of way requirements. In January 2024, SCE directed the City to divide the project into two phases due to the size of the site. Phase 1 plans were revised accordingly, and SCE granted approval to proceed with contractor bidding in February 2025. The project was advertised in March 2025, and five bids were received. Marina Landscape, Inc. submitted the lowest responsible bid at $946,560.50.
Staff consulted with SCE regarding the proposed naming of the site, and SCE expressed no concern.
Following Council’s discussion/direction, staff would return with a resolution to formalize the naming of the Herondo open space park area on July 14, 2026.
