Space Renovation at California Avenue and Sanborn Avenue Project

The City of Lynwood is undertaking a transformative public space renovation at the intersection of California Avenue and Sanborn Avenue in Los Angeles County, California, to convert a vacant, underutilized parcel into a vibrant, community-focused green open space. The project includes the installation of flexible mounded lawn areas, paved pedestrian pathways, seating benches, and exterior lighting to enhance safety and usability. Landscaping will feature native grasses and flowering shrubs to promote environmental sustainability, while decorative privacy fencing will replace existing fencing along the eastern and northern boundaries of the site. A community art mural will be integrated along the northern perimeter adjacent to a water tower, complemented by mosaic art installations and rotational public art displays that engage local artists and residents. The initiative aligns with CEQA Guidelines Sections 15303 and 15304, which categorically exempt the project from extensive environmental review due to its minor nature and adherence to established land use parameters. All work is to be performed on parcel APN 6173-012-900, and the project is administered by the City of Lynwood’s Department of Public Works, with Rita Montalvo serving as the primary point of contact. The procurement is classified as a forecast with no formal solicitation number, indicating it is not currently under active competitive bidding and may be proceeding under direct municipal authority or pre-approved funding. Financial details such as contract value, pricing, or cost breakdowns are not available, and no federal acquisition regulations (FAR) or related clauses apply, as this is a state-local initiative governed by California’s environmental and administrative procedures. Payment for associated environmental filing fees was processed through the City’s internal system via cash, check, or credit card, and no electronic invoicing systems like WAWF or IPP are utilized. The project does not include specifications for packaging, delivery, or logistics, nor does it define evaluation criteria, award methodology, or contractor requirements, as no competitive procurement process has been initiated. All documentation centers on environmental compliance, community benefit, and local implementation, with no federal subcontracting, socioeconomic, or labor reporting obligations referenced. The project is designed to serve as a neighborhood asset for recreation, social gathering, and cultural expression, with completion dependent on municipal scheduling and funding allocation rather than formal contract timelines.
