Summary
Council approved a $137,004 general‑plan consultant contract, awarded a $213,002 pedestrian‑safety construction contract with contingency, and approved a GTRANS asset‑management software contract totaling $156,500 (plus multi‑year maintenance), with total project cost around $584,006.50 for the software project.
The Gardena City Council on Jan. 27 approved several staff‑recommended contracts affecting planning, pedestrian safety and the city transit operator.
Council approved a two‑year contract to Kimley‑Horn & Associates to prepare an amendment to the General Plan community resources element (open space/conservation) required by state law. Staff said the award followed an RFP and evaluation process; the recommended contract amount was $137,004.30 from the general fund. The motion to approve was made by Council member Tanaka, seconded by Mayor Pro Tem Henderson and passed 5‑0.
On a separate item, the council awarded a construction contract for the pedestrian safety improvement project (FY 24–25, Phase 2, job #545) to Miramar General Engineering in the amount of $213,002.60 with a 20% construction contingency ($43,000). The work covers concrete replacement, curb/gutter, sidewalks, curb ramps and tree work in Maintenance Zone 3; staff estimated a February 2026 start and March 2026 completion. Councilmember Francis moved and Councilmember Tanaka seconded approval; the motion passed 5‑0.
The council also approved a firm fixed‑price software contract for GTRANS (the city transit operator) with Mainstar Inc. for asset and maintenance management at a contract price not to exceed $156,500 for year one (implementation, licenses, hosting and training). Staff presented an additional five years of maintenance and licensing proposed at $75,000 per year (years 2–6, $375,000 total) and a 10% project contingency, bringing the total authorized project amount to $584,006.50. Staff said federal capital funds are obligated for the purchase and that subsequent maintenance costs will be considered in future operating budgets. The council approved the contract on a motion by Mayor Pro Tem Henderson, seconded by Council member Tanaka (vote 5‑0).
