The City of Carson is soliciting proposals for professional construction management and inspection services for two capital improvement projects at Mills Park. Project No. 1636 focuses on site improvements, including a new playground, basketball and fitness courts with shade structures, permeable pavers, concrete walkways, expanded drainage, irrigation, turf installation, and fencing. Project No. 1795 involves building renovations, including a 1,400 square foot expansion for office space, public restrooms, and storage, as well as facade improvements, interior renovations, and the replacement of a wading pool with a new splash pad water feature. The selected consultant will provide full-scope construction management, inspection, and materials testing services for an anticipated five-year contract term. The procurement follows a qualification-based selection process where technical expertise is prioritized over cost. Evaluation is conducted in two phases, starting with a mandatory written submittal scored on firm qualifications, resources, project understanding, and presentation, followed by optional interviews. Proposals must be submitted electronically via PlanetBids by July 23, 2026, consisting of a technical submittal limited to 20 pages and a separate cost file. Key requirements include professional liability insurance with a five-year tail coverage endorsement and strict adherence to California labor and safety regulations. The City maintains final authority for project acceptance based on approved construction documents and the resolution of all punch list items.
