DISCUSSION
As part of the City’s continued commitment to enhancing its parks, Alta Loma Park, located at 26126 Delos Drive, Torrance, CA 90505, was identified for a full playground replacement through the City’s Capital Improvement Plan. The proposed design incorporates community input gathered through outreach efforts led by former South High School students Hannah Lee and Maggie Gerlach, whose research and feedback from park users regarding desired improvements to the existing playground helped inform and shape the direction of the proposed design.
In response to the community engagement process, staff is proposing to install new playground equipment manufactured by Landscape Structures Inc., a nationally recognized provider of innovative and inclusive play environments. The proposed design features the newly released Volo Aire structure, which promotes imaginative, physically engaging, and collaborative play. The new playground has been designed with accessibility in mind, ensuring that children and adults of all abilities can utilize and enjoy the space.
In addition to the Volo Aire structure, the new playground will incorporate age-appropriate play zones, modern safety surfacing, shaded play areas, and thoughtfully designed elements that support inclusivity. These enhancements are intended to encourage active recreation while fostering community connection. Staff presented the conceptual design (Attachment 2) to the Parks and Recreation Commission for feedback and approval in August 2025. The project is anticipated to begin in May 2026, with construction expected to be completed by September 2026.
Landscape Structures Inc. currently holds a competitively procured cooperative purchasing contract with Sourcewell, a government service cooperative established under Minnesota Statutes Section 123A.21. Sourcewell conducts competitive solicitations on behalf of participating public agencies across the United States and Canada and provides pre-negotiated pricing for specialized goods and services, including playground equipment. Landscape Structures Inc. is an awarded vendor under Sourcewell Contract No. 101625-LSI, which is valid through December 17, 2029.
In accordance with the City’s procurement policies, the Torrance Municipal Code authorizes the use of cooperative purchasing agreements like those established through Sourcewell under Section 22.3.100(c), “Exceptions to the Competitive Process,” which states:
“The competitive selection processes set forth in this Chapter do not apply in the following categories; however, purchases shall be made in accordance with procedures and regulations established by the City Manager:
c) Competitive procedures were followed by a governmental agency, including a federal, state, county, city, joint powers agency, special district, or cooperative purchasing agency consisting of one or more such agencies, that are equivalent to the procedures set forth in this Chapter, and the goods or services are supplied to the City at the same or better price as the price obtained by that agency.”
2 City Council
April 7, 2026
Accordingly, it is recommended that City Council:
1. Approve a design-build agreement with Landscape Structures Inc. of Delano, MN, in the amount of $879,379.02 and authorize a 5% contingency in the amount of $43,968.95 for the Alta Loma Park Playground Replacement project beginning April 7, 2026 and ending September 30, 2026 as a cooperative purchase with Sourcewell; and
2. Adopt a finding of categorical exemption pursuant to California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines Section 15302 – Replacement or Reconstruction.
ENVIRONMENTAL FINDINGS
Staff have determined that the Alta Loma Playground Replacement Project is categorically exempt from the requirements of CEQA pursuant to Section 15301 – Existing Facilities and Section 15302 – Replacement or Reconstruction. The project involves negligible or no expansion of existing or former use and the new structures will be located on the same site and will serve substantially the same purpose and capacity as the structures being replaced. Therefore, no further environmental review is required.
