Huntington Park council approves contracts for towing extension, Keller Park and sewer maintenance; committee appointments confirmed
Summary
Council approved a four-month towing contract extension to allow an RFP, awarded the Keller Park renovation contract after a rebid and approved a sewer maintenance/CCTV contract; council also confirmed several regional committee appointments.
Huntington Park'9s City Council moved through several agenda items Wednesday night, approving short-term and capital contracts and making committee appointments.
Towing contract extension: Council approved a four-month amendment to the city'9s towing contract, starting April 1, so staff can start an RFP process. The amendment was moved and seconded from the dais and passed on a roll-call vote.
Keller Park renovation: Staff said the original bid for the Keller Park renovation (CIP 2022-04) was over budget and was re-advertised after council appropriated additional funds. A low bidder was found unresponsive; staff recommended the next responsive low bidder, Golden Sun Enterprise Inc. Council voted to award the contract.
Sewer system maintenance and CCTV inspection: Council approved an award to National Plant (a Long Beach-based firm) after staff said the RFP produced four bids. The new contract expands service from a one-third city annual cleaning cadence to full-city annual cleaning and adds CCTV of approximately 10% of the system to inform CIP planning. Staff acknowledged the contract increases near-term costs; council asked about overlap with county sanitation and current vendors, and staff said there is no overlap and the company will coordinate with county sewer operations.
Committee appointments: During the reorganization portion of the meeting council confirmed or adjusted delegates and alternates to regional bodies including California Contract Cities Association, Gateway Cities Council of Governments, Metro Service Council assignments, Gateway Water Management Authority (staff appointments), Hub Cities consortium, independent cities finance authority and LA County Library District. Some assignments were confirmed by consensus and roll call; a motion to change a delegate required a formal roll call and passed where noted.
What'9s next: Staff was directed to return with finalized contracts and negotiated terms where appropriate. The meeting moved to closed session on legal matters at the end of the agenda.
