City staff reported the project scope includes cold milling existing asphalt, overlaying the full street width with asphalt rubber hot mix, crack sealing, repairing curbs and gutters, replacing damaged sidewalks and driveway approaches, installing ADA‑compliant curb ramps, refreshing striping and replacing vehicle loop detectors. The presentation named Norwalk Boulevard (from Carson to Centralia) and 220 Third Street (from Belcher to Wartam) among the streets included for fiscal year 2023–24 work; staff said subsequent phases will cover Carson Street as part of the 2024–25 rehabilitation program.

Staff said the city received eight sealed bids and identified SQL Contractors (Santa Fe Springs, California) as the lowest responsive bidder. The staff report indicated the project will use HUD Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding and is subject to Section 3 requirements; staff said SQL Contractors met Section 3 bidding requirements and preferences as documented in the bid analysis.

The staff report included a numeric bid amount that is unclear in the meeting transcript; staff described SQL Contractors as the lowest responsive bidder and recommended awarding the contract. The council approved the recommendation on a unanimous roll call: Council Member Farfan — yes; Council Member Roa — yes; Council Member Vargas — yes; Mayor De Pala — yes.

Staff told the council construction planning is expected to begin in April or May 2025. The staff report also noted that Carson Street rehabilitation is part of the next fiscal‑year program and not included in the current award.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","City Council - 3/12/2025","oneSentenceSummary","The Hawaiian Gardens City Council on March 12 voted unanimously to award a construction contract to SQL Contractors for the arterial and residential street rehabilitation project and approved planned construction to begin in spring 2025.","taxTitle","Hawaiian Gardens City, Los Angeles County, California","taxId",71956,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6279286,"Hawaiian Gardens accepts completion of catch basin screen installation project; releases retention timeline to follow",119,1777000,1896000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2624802-7f6e38ad94b96e1b0468af9421b8eb79&start=1777&end=1896","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2624802-7f6e38ad94b96e1b0468af9421b8eb79/thumbnail_1777000.jpg","/articles/6279286/Hawaiian-Gardens-City/Los-Angeles-County/California/Hawaiian-Gardens-accepts-completion-of-catch-basin-screen-installation-project-releases-retention-timeline-to-follow","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6279286-81e24622e30c5aa907b0623bc190d5b5/orig.mp4?Expires=1778918078&Signature=cX5YCxAIBXEi0x8yOY8aPLhllxJTjLrgLnwjRJ5Yf4eAFjL0z2TG6G-MZ9AX7Vn052toLzmiRPV5fDyzskKSmvKgfa57IMVTm7iPEZOGQomZlLJSe2d1nh4hvW632Qb3ZjZxxzMeoR8KyLvskb7rBBQ0iiHoQWMmK2vWaam98XZCoxrG0RGdl-oNdefX5~82InBnW-t3zHmh5Xc3UB-usvkJ4oJ~3rJffXqRpiv3fvnbDEVs25PiQm~65idHB61S1TpX228hP3C4~SG4ne8CV3lbyVy7rBBhmdexlNJkqkpmvYhRuZmw9MWdsPMiCPBhybI321gJxEpnctRtEc~UsA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Hawaiian Gardens City Council on March 12 unanimously accepted construction work completed by United Stormwater Inc. for the citywide catch basin connector pipe screen inserts installation project and authorized the city clerk to file a notice of completion.

City staff told the council the project scope included mobilization, traffic control, cleaning existing catch basins and furnishing and installing connector pipe screens (CPS) and Wingate automatic retractable screen (ARS) inserts in city‑ and county‑owned catch basins. Staff said approximately 18 catch basins were selected for the project.

Staff reported the city received two sealed bids and that the lowest responsive bidder was United Stormwater with a bid amount of $189,997. The staff report said the contract was awarded by council on April 24, 2024, construction began in mid‑September 2024 and the contractor completed work in January 2025. Staff recommended accepting the project as complete, authorizing the city clerk to file the notice of completion and releasing retention within the timeline set by public‑works specifications.

A motion to accept the project and authorize the city clerk to file the notice of completion passed on a unanimous roll call: Council Member Farfan — yes; Council Member Roa — yes; Council Member Vargas — yes; Mayor De Pala — yes.

The draft plan, funded in part by a $370,000 Active Transportation Program (ATP) Cycle 6 grant and commissioned by the city in March 2024, outlines a network of proposed bike facilities intended to improve safety, expand affordable travel options and increase connectivity within Hawaiian Gardens and to neighboring jurisdictions.

Tool Design Group principal Roger Palayo told the council the plan could help the city “unlock a lot of transportation funding grants” once adopted, and described the draft network and outreach to date. Project manager Leila Singer Burke said the plan’s goals are safety, equity and connectivity and emphasized bilingual outreach and engagement across age groups. \"Safety ... is a huge priority for your community,\" Singer Burke said, summarizing survey responses.

The consultant described three facility types proposed in the draft: conventional bike lanes, buffered lanes and separated bike lanes (with vertical separation), plus neighborhood bicycle boulevards aimed at slowing traffic on residential streets. The draft highlights improvements or upgrades on corridors including Norwalk and Carson, a proposed buffer on Civic Center Drive, conventionally striped lanes on other identified streets, and a recommendation to study the Artesia‑Norwalk storm drain/channel as a potential linear walking and biking facility.

Consultants said community outreach included two community advisory committee meetings, events at a city car show and National Night Out, visits to a senior center and teen centers, a parent meeting at Hawaiian Elementary (conducted primarily in Spanish) and door‑to‑door outreach to about 20 businesses on Norwalk and Carson. According to the presentation, more than 70% of survey respondents rated improving safety for people who bike as their top priority, and roughly 75% of respondents agreed with the consultant’s draft network recommendations.

Council members asked about the data behind the network. The consultant said the team had not performed a citywide time‑of‑day bicycle count but had relied on community feedback, mapping of high‑activity destinations and 10 years of crash data. \"In the 10‑year period, there were about 44, a little more than 40 crashes with bicycles in the city,\" the consultant said, and noted that some of the most serious crashes occurred on Norwalk and Carson.

Council discussion also noted that the Artesia‑Norwalk channel is Los Angeles County flood control property and that any conversion to a trail or linear park would require partnership with the county and further study of crossings and environmental review. The consultant said placing the corridor on the city’s bicycle plan would make the city more competitive for outside funding to study and design crossings and other improvements.

Council voted unanimously to receive the draft and direct staff to return the plan for final adoption in June 2025. The vote was recorded as: Council Member Farfan — yes; Council Member Roa — yes; Council Member Vargas — yes; Mayor De Pala — yes.

Next steps listed by the consultant include a final phase of outreach, incorporating council and public comments, prioritizing candidate projects for grant applications and returning a final plan and recommended priority projects for council approval in summer 2025.","The City Council reviewed a draft bicycle master plan prepared by Tool Design Group, accepted the draft for comment and directed further outreach. The plan, funded by an ATP Cycle 6 grant, maps proposed facilities on Norwalk, Carson and along the Artesia‑Norwalk channel and emphasizes safety, equity and connectivity.","actionData","errors"]
