Bellflower staff gives timeline for Constitution Park design, RFP and construction
Summary
City staff told the council the Constitution Park project will return to RFP after re-engaging the original designer; bids likely in Jan–Feb 2026 with contract award around March and construction in April–May, targeting a summer/early-fall 2026 ribbon-cutting.
City staff updated the Bellflower City Council on the status of Constitution Park design and construction, telling members that delays resulted from issues with Edison (the property owner) and an expired contract with the original designer.
Staff said the designer’s contract to redo and finalize the plans was executed last week and that the office expects to have revised plans ready in about a month to six weeks. The project should go out to RFP in January or February, with a typical four-week bid period. Staff estimated an award in March and noted construction would likely begin in April or May, with a 90–120 working-day build and a projected ribbon-cutting in summer or early fall 2026.
Council members asked about coordination with the school calendar; staff said timing would align as best as possible with school schedules.
