Menlo Hotel Project

The Menlo Hotel Project is a proposed six-story, 57-room hotel to be constructed on a 17,424-square-foot vacant lot at 11410 Menlo Avenue in Hawthorne, California, with a total floor area of 47,584 square feet and a floor-area ratio of approximately 2.73:1. The building will include a lobby and valet parking service on Level 1 with 13 mechanically stacked parking spaces, Level 2 will house an additional 44 mechanically stacked parking spaces and a storage room, Levels 3 through 5 will each contain 19 guest rooms, and Level 6 will feature indoor amenities such as a fitness center, lounge, hospitality flex space, and administrative areas, alongside an outdoor rooftop terrace with landscaping and limited hours of operation until 10:00 p.m. Vehicle access is designed with one ingress and two egress driveways along Menlo Avenue, and a porte-cochere adjacent to the lobby will accommodate guest drop-off and pickup. The site is zoned for urban infill development and qualifies for a categorical exemption under CEQA Guidelines Section 15332 due to its location within an urbanized area, existing infrastructure support, and minimal environmental impact. The project is being advanced by ZS Development, with the City of Hawthorne serving as the lead agency for environmental review and permitting. The City of Hawthorne is the sole government entity associated with the project, acting as both the approving agency and the point of contact for public and applicant inquiries, with Maria Majcherek, Senior Planner, listed as the primary liaison. No federal procurement contract structure is present; rather, the documentation reflects a state-level environmental review process under CEQA, including filings such as a Notice of Exemption and a California Department of Fish and Wildlife No Effect Determination. There is no formal solicitation, contract number, pricing, evaluation criteria, or FAR clause structure applicable to a federal acquisition. No payment office, accounting codes, invoicing procedures, contracting officer representatives, or federal contractor representations such as UEI/CAGE codes or socioeconomic certifications are identified. The only monetary reference is a $75 environmental filing fee unrelated to contractor compensation. The project remains in the pre-construction phase with no defined period of performance, delivery schedule, or estimated contract value. Compliance is limited to adherence to local zoning, building codes, ADA standards, and CEQA requirements, with no additional federal contractual obligations or inspection criteria specified beyond
