Lawndale council approves $50,421.29 in ARPA funds for city hall and public-works repairs
Summary
The council authorized $50,421.29 in ARPA funding and a fourth contract amendment to cover emergency repairs to the men's restroom and a broken lobby sliding door; staff said the overall facility project remains within the original budget and is expected to finish in February 2026.
Public works assistant engineer Nabi Siddiqui told the City Council on Jan. 5 that the public works and city hall facility needs project — awarded in May 2024 to Developer General Contracting — remains on schedule to complete by February 2026 but incurred emergency repairs outside the original scope.
Siddiqui said the emergency work included a collapsed pipe in a men’s restroom and a deteriorating lobby sliding door that could not lock. Staff recommended using available ARPA funds to cover the additional costs and requested authorization to approve the fourth amendment to the Developer General Contracting agreement in the amount of $50,421.29.
"We are requesting that we use the ARPA funding that is available for this in the amount of $50,421.29," Siddiqui said. Councilmember Pat Kearney moved to accept the staff recommendation and Mayor Pro Tem Shirley Cuevas seconded; the motion passed unanimously.
Staff told the council the project has remained within the original overall budget for its original scope, and the requested appropriation covers specific emergency repairs. The expectation is the remaining work will be completed by the end of February 2026.
