Sidewalk Repair Rebate Program - 116 1/2 S DILLON ST - 90057

The project at 116 1/2 S Dillon St in Los Angeles is part of the City’s Sidewalk Repair Rebate Program, implemented to fulfill obligations under the Willits Settlement Agreement, which mandates the removal of ADA accessibility barriers on public sidewalks. The scope is strictly limited to addressing identified barriers and adjacent work necessary for compliance, ensuring pedestrian pathways meet federal ADA standards and local municipal codes. Included in the work is the removal of one street tree at the site, which required and received discretionary approval from the Bureau of Street Services, Urban Forestry Division, or the Board of Public Works. The project was determined exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under Class 1 and Class 32 exemptions, with environmental documentation, including technical memoranda on biological resources, cumulative impacts, and in-fill development analysis, completed and filed by the Bureau of Engineering. All work must adhere to the City’s Greenbook Standard Specifications for Public Works Construction and the Willits Sidewalk Repairs Regulatory Compliance Measures and Best Practices, with inspection and acceptance occurring at the project site by City authorities. The program operates on a cost-sharing basis, though specific financial terms, contract value, or invoicing mechanisms are not detailed. The City of Los Angeles Bureau of Engineering serves as the lead agency, with Nikki Zulueta as the primary point of contact, and all approvals, including tree removal and CEQA findings, were formally executed by April and March 2025, respectively. The project is not governed by federal acquisition regulations, lacks formal contract clauses or pricing structures, and is structured as an administrative rebate initiative rather than a traditional procurement contract.
