Sidewalk Repair - Bureau of Street Services (StreetsLA) Package No. 67

The City of Los Angeles Bureau of Street Services (StreetsLA) is undertaking Package No. 67 to repair sidewalks at six designated locations across multiple council districts in compliance with the Willits Settlement Agreement, which mandates the removal of Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) access barriers. The scope is strictly limited to eliminating identified barriers and making adjacent adjustments necessary for compliance, ensuring pedestrian pathways meet federal accessibility standards. The project includes the removal of two street trees—at 248 N. Windsor Blvd and 5127 E. Coringa Dr.—which requires separate discretionary approval from the Urban Forestry Division and was conditionally approved by the Bureau of Engineering pending final authorization, which was granted on June 3, 2026. The City determined the project qualifies for a categorical exemption under Public Resources Code § 21080.25 because it involves only minor repairs within existing rights-of-way, does not increase vehicle capacity, and does not exceed a $50 million statutory threshold, thereby waiving the need for a full California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) review. Work is being performed by city forces only, with no external contractors involved, and inspections occur on-site at each location to verify ADA compliance, with acceptance formalized upon completion. The project is funded through municipal resources under a broader exemption window spanning January 1, 2023, to December 31, 2029, and while no formal contract value is specified, costs are understood to be within the capped exemption limit. No federal acquisition regulations or standard procurement clauses apply, as this is a purely local, internally administered public works effort. Point of contact for administrative matters is Hector Banuelos, Street Tree Superintendent I, with no identified contracting officer, technical representative, or formal solicitation number in use.
