Lakewood Civic Center Corner Lot Development Project

The City of Lakewood is advancing the development of a 4.3-acre civic plaza and park on the Corner Lot in Lakewood, California, with the goal of creating a vibrant public space to host community gatherings, farmers markets, and special events. The project includes construction of a passive playground, a stage and performance area, full landscaping, a parking lot, public restrooms, a storage facility, and a trash enclosure. All work is to be performed onsite at 4900 Clark Ave, Lakewood, CA 90712, with key construction phases scheduled from April to April of the following year, beginning with demolition in early April 2025 and followed by building construction through mid-2026. Environmental compliance is central to the project, requiring adherence to California-specific standards including CalEEMod, CALGreen, CAAQS, and CEQA, with supporting technical evaluations for air quality, biological and cultural resources, energy, noise, and vehicle miles traveled detailed in seven appendices. Inspections are conducted on-site under the oversight of the City of Lakewood and the South Coast Air Quality Management District, with strict requirements for dust control, fugitive emissions, and architectural coatings governed by SCAQMD Rules 402, 403, and 1113, as well as ASTM D-2435 for soil testing. The contract vehicle is currently a forecast, with no formal solicitation number, contract value, or pricing data disclosed; no contract type has been specified, nor are there details on payment systems, accounting codes, invoicing methods, or designated contracting officers. While key project contacts are named—including Kevin Yamakawa as Principal Civil Engineer and Lindsay Buck as Staff Environmental Planner—the documentation lacks provisions for offeror certifications, representation statements, evaluation criteria, or special requirements. Proposal submissions must be coordinated through the State Clearinghouse, with both hardcopy and electronic formats required, though no deadline, file type specifications, or submission portal are provided.
