New Marina del Rey Parking Structure Projec

The County of Los Angeles Department of Beaches and Harbors is pursuing the construction of a new two-story, three-tier parking structure on the east side of Marina del Rey Parking Lot 4 in the unincorporated community of Marina del Rey, California, with the west side of the site remaining as a surface parking lot, forming a unified facility. The project, approved by the Regional Planning Commission on September 24, 2025, includes a Coastal Development Permit, Conditional Use Permit, Mitigated Negative Declaration, and a Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program to ensure environmental compliance. The parking structure will operate 24 hours a day to meet public demand, particularly during special events at Burton Chace Park, and will feature a digital sign installed on the front of the existing Marina del Rey Visitor Center. Geotechnical investigations, including soil sampling, boring logs, and laboratory testing for Atterberg limits, direct shear, consolidation, and corrosivity, are required to support foundation design and construction planning, with compliance mandated under the Los Angeles County Noise Control Ordinance, which limits construction noise to 85 dBA. Performance standards for soil compaction require at least 90% of maximum dry density, with 95% for sandy soils, and imported soils must meet a minimum R-value of 20 after pre-delivery sampling and approval. Air quality standards must conform to SCAQMD thresholds, such as NOx emissions not exceeding 100 lbs/day during construction, and backfill material must be a sand-cement slurry with one to two sacks of cement per cubic yard and a maximum slump of five inches. Inspection and acceptance activities are overseen by the County of Los Angeles Department of Beaches and Harbors, with the construction contractor responsible for implementation and mitigation measures, including noise control, air quality management, and archaeological protections. The project’s construction timeline began with demolition on August 22, 2024, and site preparation followed, though no definitive overall performance period or contract value has been disclosed. The contracting office is located at 13837 Fiji Way, Marina del Rey, CA 90292, with Sean Sackett, Capital Projects Section Manager, listed as the primary point of contact. No federal acquisition regulations or contract clauses are applicable, and no solicitation number, contract type, or pricing details are provided, indicating this is a local government initiative governed by state and county permitting and environmental review processes rather than federal procurement regulations
