Staff Report No. 26-PW-031
Honorable Mayor and Members of the Hermosa Beach City Council
FISCAL YEAR 2026–2027 CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM STUDY SESSION
(Public Works Director Joe SanClemente)
Recommended Action:
Staff recommends City Council:
1. Review and provide comment on the proposed Fiscal Year (FY) 2026–2027 Capital
Improvement Program (CIP) including proposed project scopes of work, project
funding, sequencing and priorities, and the deferred and unfunded future project
list (Attachment 1, Attachment 2, Attachment 3, and Attachment 4);
2. Review and provide comment regarding the Additional Matters for City Council
Consideration outlined in the report; and
3. Receive and file the FY 2026–27 Capital Improvement Program Study Session
Report.
Executive Summary:
As part of the budget development process, this Capital Improvement Program (CIP)
Study Session is being held to provide an opportunity for City Council to review and
provide staff with recommendations on the proposed CIP, including the project scopes of
work, project funding, sequencing and priorities, for next fiscal year. The FY 2026-27 CIP
was reviewed at the May 5, 2026 Joint Parks and Recreation and Pub lic Works
Commission meeting, where Commission unanimously approved staff’s
recommendations for further consideration by City Council.
With the exhaustion of many one-time funding opportunities, fewer resources are
available for capital investment, increasing competition between operating and
infrastructure needs. The CIP is structurally underfunded, and projects are now being
completed at a rate faster than the CIP fund can be replenished – with annual spending
now averaging approximately $8M – $12M, but only approximately $4.7M in new funds
for FY 2026-27. The City can no longer rely on one-time or external funding to sustain its
capital program, and identifying stable, ongoing funding solutions will be critical to
maintaining infrastructure and long-term fiscal sustainability.
Meanwhile, the Public Works Department CIP workload is completely full for the next two
years and is primarily focused on critical infrastructure and time sensitive projects, with
no capacity to take on new projects. Many projects on the CIP are not fully funded, and
Page 4 of 129
City of Hermosa Beach | Page 2 of 24
each year staff makes recommendations to allocate available funds to advance
necessary phases of projects that align with staff workload for the year so that critical
projects can continue to move forward. With constrained staffing and funding resources,
that means the City will have to make tough choices each year regarding what can be
reasonably delivered while considering the highest priorities and future needs.
Background:
This meeting provides an opportunity for City Council and the community to discuss and
provide feedback on proposed Fiscal Year 2026–27 CIP. Project discussions assist staff
in refining individual project scopes, funding allocations, priorities, and aligning staff
capacity with agreed upon priorities.
Fiscal Environment and Implications for the CIP
The City’s CIP has historically been funded through one -time resources and external
funding rather than ongoing, dedicated revenue. Unspent General Fund balances, post -
COVID carryforwards, American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds (approximately $4.6
million), and vacancy savings have been used to advance capital projects and address
infrastructure needs. While this approach allowed the City to maintain investment without
establishing a permanent funding source, it was not sustainable.
These one-time resources are now largely depleted or declining. Year-end surpluses have
diminished, ARPA funds have been fully expended, and vacancy savings are decreasing
and unreliable as a long-term strategy. As a result, the funding model that has historically
supported the CIP is no longer viable.
The CIP has also relied on State and County funding. While important, these sources are
limited, competitive, and subject to changing requirements and funding cycles. Often the
eligible uses for these funding sources do not align with the City’s greatest needs and can
be time-consuming for staff to administer. They cannot be scaled to meet the City’s full
infrastructure needs and do not provide a consistent or predictable funding stream,
creating uncertainty in project delivery.
At the same time, cost pressures are increasing and significant capital needs remain
unfunded. Deferred maintenance is driving higher long-term costs, construction inflation
continues to escalate project expenses, and major projects —including the City Yard
replacement and future Pier repair or reconstruction—remain unfunded.
These challenges are compounded by a structural imbalance in the General Fund, with
expenditures outpacing revenues.
The CIP is structurally underfunded under the current model. Projects are now being
completed at a rate faster than the CIP fund can be replenished. The City can no longer
rely on one-time or external funding to sustain its capital program, and identifying stable,
Page 5 of 129
City of Hermosa Beach | Page 3 of 24
ongoing funding solutions will be critical to maintaining infrastructure and long-term fiscal
sustainability.
Key Challenges for Project Delivery
In addition to funding constraints, there are a number of factors that should be considered
for the programming and delivery of the FY 2026-27 CIP and beyond:
Public Works Department CIP workload is completely full for the next two
years with no capacity to take on new projects. Most of the projects currently
programmed in the CIP are necessary to ensure public safety, are under strict grant
or regulatory timelines, or are addressing deferred maintenance needs. Several
projects have reached a critical stage and simply can no longe r be deferred – for
example, the Pier, City Yard, and the Dry Wells project, to name a few. With
constrained staffing and funding resources, that means the City will have to make
tough choices each year regarding what can be reasonably delivered while
considering the highest priorities and future needs. Some projects may only be
able to receive partial funding each FY to keep them advancing in a timely manner.
The Public Works Operations and Maintenance (O&M) team plays a critical
role in the planning and advancement of all CIPs. The O&M workload remains
heavy (and over capacity) due to high demand for work orders (10–12 per calendar
day), special event support, special projects, as well as regular maintenance
activities. O&M workload demands directly impact capacity to deliver the CIP.
The workplan for FY 2026-27 remains highly sensitive to staffing levels and
changes in that workplan based on a wide range of demands (planned and
unplanned) placed on our small engineering team and evolving complexity of each
project as it advances through the process. The engineering department currently
has one engineering vacancy, with hiring and retention remaining challenging in
what continues to be a competitive market for engineers across the public and
private sectors. Outside consultants are often used to help advance complex
projects in a timely manner, and fill vacancies, but must be done in an efficient and
responsible way given constrained funding resources. Any vacancy, or new
project(s), or infrastructure emergency, will delay the projected schedule for
programmed projects.
Major planned, unplanned, and potential projects in the coming year will
require significant staff resources and present risk to the delivery of the
overall CIP in the coming year:
o The City Yard Project will require a substantial time commitment from Public
Works across the department – including both engineering and O&M staff
– to advance planning and design and eventually the preparations required
to potentially relocate off -site to facilitate environmental remediation and
construction;
o Maintaining staffing levels across the department;
Page 6 of 129
City of Hermosa Beach | Page 4 of 24
o Grant funded projects schedules are less predictable, and can be
constrained, with some anticipated to start in FY 2026 -2027 (e.g., CIP 143
PCH/ Aviation);
o Major contract negotiations and readvertisement of soon-to-experience
maintenance services will impact O&M and Engineering staff (i.e., County
Beaches and Harbors beach maintenance, landscape services, trees care,
storm drain cleaning, janitorial, sewer cleaning). These efforts require deep
evaluation of scopes of work and updates to better meet the service needs
of the community and timely advertisement to ensure service continuity;
o Roll-out of online permitting will require significantly dedicated staff time in
coordination with other City Departments to develop, advance, and
troubleshoot;
o Large upcoming third-party projects will require substantial coordination and
oversight, including: LA County Sanitation Districts Sewer Rehabilitation
Project, Caltrans’ Resurfacing of PCH, and Cal Water’s main replacement
along Hermosa Avenue from 25th Street to 35th Street, and potentially other
unplanned utility projects;
o Other non-CIP Special Projects requiring Public Works oversight and
support (e.g., Hermosa Beach Little League improvements to Clark Field,
dog park, etc.);
o Unplanned special events;
o Major storms, natural disasters, or other infrastructure emergencies; and
o Other unplanned work.
Joint Commission Meeting
On May 5, 2026, the Parks and Recreation and Public Works Commissions
(Commissions) held a Joint Meeting to discuss the FY 2026-2027 CIP. Following a
detailed staff presentation, public comment, questions, and discussion, t he Commissions
unanimously approved staff’s recommendations for the CIP including proposed scopes
of work, project funding, sequencing and priorities, and deferred and unfunded future
project lists.

Page 7 of 129
City of Hermosa Beach | Page 5 of 24
11 CIP projects, with an estimated construction value of $13.7M, are earmarked
for completion by the end of this FY, including 8 projects complete as of May 19,
2026, and 3 projects in the close-out phase; in addition, 3 projects are also under
construction and expected to either be complete or reach substantial completion
prior to the end of the FY and 2 projects (CIP 107-Slurry Seal and CIP 504-
Playground Equipment Improvements) were advertised for construction on April
30, 2026;
Prepared a comprehensive structural assessment and detailed cost -benefit
analysis for the Municipal Pier and currently finalizing permitting and design for the
current round of high priority structural repairs;
The Greenwich Village North Underground Utility Assessment District project went
out to bid, awarded a contractor, issued bonds, assessed the district, and put
shovels in the ground to underground utilities long sought to be removed by the
community; and
Substantial advancement on numerous other CIP projects.
These projects were also completed amidst other unplanned emergencies that diverted
staff time to address – such as urgent removal of 26 trees in City Parks to protect public
safety in July 2025, removal of the Vetter Windmill assembly on July 24, 2025 following
a structural inspection and assessment that identified safety concerns ; emergency sink
hole repair on Valley Drive near Valley Park in August 2025; emergency full closure of
Parking Structure C in November 2025 due to structural concerns; and partial closure of
the end of the Pier in January 2026 due to safety concerns.
The Public Works Department remains committed, and focused, on delivering critical high
priority projects in the CIP. Historically, Public Works delivered about 4 CIPs per fiscal
year—the completion rates have nearly tripled since FY 2023–24.

CIP 605 Facilities Conditions and Needs Assessment (Civic Center)—the Civic
Facilities Project Advisory Group presented to Council the Consideration and Direction
on Recommendations from their findings based on regular advisory group meetings at
the July 22, 2025, City Council meeting. Council voted to receive and file
recommendations from the City Manager’s Civic Facilities Project Advisory Group.
CIP 617 Civic Center Charging Stations—Staff coordinated with Southern California
Edison to install 20 new level 2 charging stations at parking locations along Bard Street.
The project was completed in June 2025, with project close-out through July 2025.
CIP 633 Base 3 Electrical Repairs and Upgrades—This project included the upgrades
to the building’s electrical system, including removal of existing electrical service panel
and replacing it with a new 120/240V, 3W, 400A main service board, installation of 4”
galvanized rigid conduit and weather head per SCE requirements, installation of new
receptacles, extend existing conduits to new receptacles, remove existing light fixtures
and install new ones, coordination with SCE for inspection and final connection in
response to urgent needs at those facilities. The project was completed in December
2025, with project close-out through January 2026.
CIP 603 South Park Slope and Irrigation Repairs— The project included the demolition
of existing irrigation system, shrubs and ground covers and installation of new irrigation
system, approximately 4,400 square feet of new turf -sod, approximately 3,000 new
shrubs, and 2 new trees. The contract was awarded to the lowest responsible and
responsive bidder in the amount of $393,273 and well below the engineer’s estimate for
the project. Staff also successfully applied for, and received, a reimbursable grant in the
amount of $99,145 from the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California (MWD)
through its turf removal program and $189,849 from the State of California as a part of its
2018 Parks Bond Act Per Capita Grant Program. The lower than anticipated construction
costs, combined with the grant funding, allowed for significant cost savings on the
project and the release of $1,242,184 from the CIP fund balance. The
project's construction phase began on April 14, 2025 with substantial completion taking
place in October 2025. The project remained in closeout through May 2026 largely related
to the grant administrative requirements and reimbursement process.
CIP 689 Clark Building Renovations—The project completely renovated the existing
facility including a new commercial kitchen and new bathrooms and was opened on
August 19, 2025, with project close-out completed in December 2025.
Page 10 of 129
City of Hermosa Beach | Page 8 of 24
Projects for which construction was completed in FY 2025–26 and are currently in the
close-out phase, include:
CIP 421 Annual Sewer Improvements—The $3.7M project constructed approximately
5,000 linear feet of new sewer pipe, installed 25 new maintenance access holes, installed
50 new maintenance access hole frames and covers, and reconstructed approximately
20,000 square feet of pavement, and performed other related sewer maintenance work
throughout the City. Construction was completed under the original budget in April 2026
and is under project close-out.
CIP 630 Community Center Gas—This project includes replacing an existing 4-inch gas
main line and extending the new gas lines through the roof into different areas of the
building to feed and connect to various existing appliances and equipment along with
abandoning existing gas lines. During the course of construction, additional
environmental testing and remediation was required at some roof penetration locations.
The project has also required extensive coordination with SoCalGas. The cost for the
project including added scope through change orders is $319,038. The anticipated
completion date is May 2026 with project closeout through June 2026.
CIP 699 Parking Structure (Lot C) Improvements —The project included elevator
refurbishment and high priority structural repairs originally identified a 2021 structural
assessment of the facility. Due to staffing constraints at the time, the design of repairs
advanced slowly and required supplemental structural inspections and testing to ensure
the project addressed all high priority concerns. The project’s construction
documents were updated and advertised for construction in January of 2025 and awarded
at City Council on May 13, 2025, for a total authorized construction budget of $2,002,542.
Construction commenced in October of 2025.
The updated scope of work for this project focused on addressing the parking structure’s
structural deficiencies, aged lighting fixtures, and included concrete repairs, crack sealing,
waterproofing and traffic coatings, replacement of guardrails and barrier systems,
electrical upgrades, sump pump replacement, and other necessary repairs to maintain
the facility in optimal condition. During construction, additional structural deficiencies were
identified, including compromised post-tensioning tendons, which required further
investigation, temporary closure of the facility, and implementation of additional repairs.
To minimize future disruptions, staff incorporated additional structural repairs originally
anticipated for a future phase into the current project.
Staff also took advantage of the temporary closure to complete a comprehensive
repainting of the structure through a contract change order in the amount of $240,873,
which was presented to the City Council on January 13, 2026, bringing the total
authorized construction amount to $2,243,415. Construction was completed in April 2026
and is under project closeout.
Page 11 of 129
City of Hermosa Beach | Page 9 of 24
Projects under construction and anticipated to reach completion or substantial completion
prior by the end of FY 2025–26 include:
CIP 164 Hermosa Avenue Green Streets—The Enhanced Watershed Management
Program identifies installation of distributed National Stormwater Best Management
Practices (BMPs) as a requirement of the 2012 Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System
permit. The project was advanced to bring the City toward compliance with requirements
for trash and bacteria Total Maximum Daily Load.
The project includes installation of approximately 4,500 linear feet of permeable concrete
gutter in the southern part of the City and planting of 37 trees on Hermosa Avenue. The
project was designed through a contract managed by the City of Torrance for work in
Hermosa Beach, Manhattan Beach, Redondo Beach, and Torrance. The project was
advertised for construction on January 16, 2025, bids were received on February 19,
2025, and the City of Torrance City Council awarded the contract at their May 2025
meeting with a total contract award of $7,738,584, shared between the
cities. Construction for the overall project began in July 2025, with construction within
Hermosa Beach commencing on February 9, 2026. Project completion, including punch
list items is expected by late May 2026 with final project close -out and grant funding
reports are anticipated by the end of September.
CIP 619 Kelly Court Renovations—The project was originally proposed to renovate and
resurface the pickleball courts; however, during the design phase, the scope was
expanded to include upgrades to the adjacent tennis and basketball courts to meet
current clearance, safety, and accessibility standards. Planned improvements
include relocating light poles and fencing, expanding the concrete slab to accommodate
proper spacing, and replacing aging court equipment such as posts, nets, and
backboards. Under the implementation of CIP 619, all courts will be resurfaced
and restriped to meet current recreational design standards. As of April 16, 2026, the
basketball courts have been resurfaced and re-opened to the public. Staff anticipates
awarding a completion contract at the May 26, 2026, City Council meeting for the
completion of the tennis and pickleball courts resurfacing which had unforeseen existing
pavement conditions that required additional specialized repair prior to resurfacing;
construction is anticipated to be completed by August 2026.
CIP 626 CDBG Improvements—CIP 626 is a critical project for the department due to
requirements related to CDBG funds as the City’s receipt of future funds is
contingent upon timely completion of projects. The project includes construction of 12
ADA-compliant curb ramps and approximately 500 square feet of new sidewalk along
Monterey Boulevard between 2nd Street and 8th Street. The Engineering Division
completed the design for the project in- house and advertised it for construction in January
2026. The construction contract was awarded in April 2026. Construction started on April
Page 12 of 129
City of Hermosa Beach | Page 10 of 24
27, 2026, and is anticipated to be completed in May 2026 with close-out ongoing through
September.
Projects which have progressed significantly in FY 2025–26 include:
CIP 106 Annual Paving and CIP 115 City Sidewalks Improvements—This project
includes pavement rehabilitation, reconstruction of damaged concrete improvements,
and re-striping along approximately 1.5 miles of roadways, including Aviation Boulevard
(from Harper Avenue. to Pacific Coast Highway), Monterey Blvd (from Pier Avenue to
Manhattan Avenue), 2nd Street (from Valley Drive to Hermosa Avenue), and various
residential segments.
The City Sidewalk Improvement project (CIP 106) is being combined with CIP 115 for
greater design, bidding, and construction efficiencies and will consist of reconstruction of
damaged sidewalks, curb and gutter, as well as upgrading of curb ramps to current
accessibility standards at various locations. The project will also include crosswalk
striping and the installation of Rectangular Rapid-Flashing Beacons (RRFBs) at the
intersections of Ardmore Avenue at both Longfellow Avenue and 25th Street.
Anticipating significant impacts on businesses, traffic flow, and parking, staff will phase
the project construction to minimize impacts. The City will also implement a
comprehensive project communication plan using various methods to raise awareness.
The project is currently in the design phase by the City’s engineering staff and is expected
to go out for bid in August 2026.
CIP 107 Slurry Seal—This project involves crack and slurry sealing approximately
230,000 square feet across various city streets. For cracks between ¼ inch and 1 inch
wide, sealing material will be applied. Cracks exceeding 1 inch will be patched with
asphalt. Following the crack seal, an asphalt slurry seal will be applied to bond with the
aged surface to extend the overall lifespan of the city’s roadways. The Project was
advertised for construction on April 30, 2026, and the construction is anticipated to begin
in summer 2026. The total project budget is $450,000. Slurry seal has not been performed
by the City for many years and was reintroduced to the CIP in FY 2025-26 as a
preventative maintenance treatment to extend the lifespan of the asphalt pavement.
CIP 111 Electronic, Gateway, and Wayfinding Signage—The project includes the
evaluation, and potential installation, of gateway signage, downtown wayfinding signage,
and a digital monument sign in front of the Community Center. Recommendations will
include potential locations, preliminary design, and order of magnitude cost estimates for
final design, sign fabrication, and installation for final consideration by City Council. The
electronic sign will also require approvals by Caltrans and the Planning Commission. The
project is largely funded by a donation of $500,000 from former Mayor Chuck Sheldon
and his wife Missy, which are intended for the design and installation of the digital
Page 13 of 129
City of Hermosa Beach | Page 11 of 24
monument sign, while any unused funds may be directed towards the gateway si gnage.
The City previously received a $50,000 contribution for the electronic sign from the
Chamber of Commerce in 2014; the Chamber has since indicated that these funds could
be redirected towards the downtown wayfinding signage. Staff is preparing preliminary
designs, and further evaluating permitting requirements, and anticipates bringing an item
to Public Works Commission in mid-2026.
CIP 113 City Wide Multi-Space Meters Deployment (Pier Avenue and Lot D)—The
project includes the installation of multi-space meters along Pier Avenue and Parking Lot
D. The CIP will include the purchase of new multi-space meters, engineering drawings
for ADA and vehicle code compliance, demolition, and construction activities. During the
December 9, 2025, City Council meeting, a contract with Flowbird America was approved
to provide replacement meters for the Beach Parking Lots and provide meters as needed
for ongoing parking projects, including CIP 113. Public Works engineering staff is actively
preparing the design plans and anticipates advertising the project for construction in
Summer 2026 with construction starting in Fall 2026.
This CIP is part of the City’s larger efforts to modernize the City’s parking system and best
utilize the limited parking available in Hermosa Beach. Most of the existing infrastructure
is at least 10 years old and rated in poor or very poor condition during a citywide
evaluation in June 2023. The newer equipment will yield ongoing operational cost savings
due to the reduction in number of parking meters, elimination of transaction fees paid by
the City, and preparation for citywide automated license plate reader (“ALPR”)
enforcement. Recent updates to the Parking 2.0 Roadmap presented to City Council at
the January 14, 2025, meeting include the citywide rollout of mobile payment options as
of August 2025, electronic parking permitting, and electronic citation issuance and
payments as of April 2025.
Staff are preparing to rollout the new Community Service Officer (“CSO”) vehicles
equipped with ALPR equipment in May 2026 in order to better manage the Beach Parking
Lots, permits, time limited zones, and data collection to continually improve the parking
system in Hermosa Beach. CIP 113 will be the test case for how the City will remo ve
single space meters and replace with multi-space meters citywide in an effort to make
parking easier to use, more efficient, and reduce operating costs for the City long term.
CIP 114 - Greenwich Village Underground Utilities project—This project, valued at
approximately $4M consists of undergrounding the existing overhead utility lines located
along Hermosa Avenue from 25th Street to 35th Street. The project is under construction.
CIP 143 PCH / Aviation Mobility Improvement Project—This project would advance
conceptual designs for complete street project elements to improve mobility, accessibility,
and safety along the Pacific Coast Highway (PCH) and Aviation Boulevard corridors in
Hermosa Beach. The Project builds off the 2014 PCH-Aviation Beautification Final
Page 14 of 129
City of Hermosa Beach | Page 12 of 24
Concept Plan and the 2015 Project Study Report (PSR) that was prepared by the City
and Caltrans in 2015 and would advance the project to the next phase: the Project
Initiation Document (PID) and Project Approval & Environmental Document (PA &ED). The
PSR includes various options for enhancing landscape along PCH, potential utility pole
undergrounding on PCH, pedestrians and bicycle enhancements (possible bike lanes on
Aviation and enhanced bike crossings across PCH), intersection safety enhan cements,
and other safety improvements along the corridors.
The City applied for additional grant funding from the South Bay Cities Council of
Governments (SBCCOG) to cover the initial project costs for the planning and
environmental review phases of the project. Grant funding for the project was approved,
now approximately $4.8M in total and will be administered through Metro. Metro staff is
developing the funding agreement in coordination with Caltrans and City staff is
anticipated to bring an item to City Council in Summer 2026 for consideration of approval
of the funding agreement. While the project is being administered through Metro, it will
require significant staff resources over a multi-year period and will need substantial
additional funding for design and construction should it continue through the process.
CIP 193 Hermosa Ave Safety Improvements Project—This project consists of
implementing various roadway safety improvements along Hermosa Avenue between
Herondo Street and 25th Street. The City has been approved by the South Bay Cities
Council of Governments (SBCCOG) for $482,000 in grant funds for the planning and
design phase of the project pending completion of a funding agreement with Metro . The
agreement is being prepared and staff anticipates bringing an item to City Council in
Summer 2026 for consideration of approval of the agreement. Should the project move
forward, it would include evaluating options to enhance pedestrian safety at 5
intersections by constructing curb extensions and parking daylighting to enhance
pedestrian visibility, accessibility improvements at intersections and bus stops,
modification to the center median, such as median closure and restriping spaces to
enhance/add parking as well as conversion to multi -space meters, and consideration of
bicycle accommodations along Hermosa Avenue. These items would be discussed at
Public Works Commission and brought to City Council for approval before advancing
design.
CIP 438 Stormwater Dry Wells—This project will install a number of dry wells to help
capture and infiltrate storm water runoff. The project is required per the City’s Watershed
Management Plan (WMP), approved by the State Water Resources Control Board (Water
Board). Failure to complete the project would likely result in significant fines and
increased regulatory oversight. A formal request for a time extension on pollutant
reduction goals has been submitted by the Beach Cities Group to the Water Board which,
if approved, would extend the City’s compliance deadline to 2031.

The City’s original MWP had a total estimated cost range of $12.5M - $27M for the
Greenbelt Infiltration project, which was cancelled by City Council due to objections from
community members living in the vicinity of the proposed project. The City’s current WMP
recommends using dry wells as they are more cost effective and logistically manageable
than a large regional infiltration project and allow much greater flexibility for siting. It is
anticipated that a revised project may cost approximately $4M in order of magnitude. In
March 2026, Council approved a contract for the City to retain Geosyntec to assist the
City with a revised feasibility analysis to help find the most efficient way of implementing
the project, further define costs, and assist the city with submitting a grant application for
Safe Clean Water (Measure W ) funds to pay for design costs in partnership with City of
Redondo Beach in Summer 2026. Should the City not be successful, when a potential
award is announced in early 2027, staff recommends that the City expeditiously advance
with a phased project to work towards compliance with whatever stormwater funding the
City has available.
CIP 504 Playground Equipment Replacement Project– This project budgeted at
$450,000 will provide playground enhancements in three City Parks. Work will include a
full replacement of the two-to-five-year-old play structure with a new unit that has
integrated shade and a new rubberized mat at Valley Park. Repairs will also be made to
the existing 5- to 12-year-old structure and incorporate an integrated shade sail. Seaview
Park will receive a full replacement of the existing play structure with a new unit with an
integrated shade sail and rubberized mat. South Park will receive a replacement
rubberized mat at center playfield area. City has utilized a cooperative purchasing
agreement to procure the playground equipment and has advertised a bid package for
the installation of the equipment on April 30, 2026, with installation in mid- to late-August
2026 after students return to school.
CIP 615 City Yard Renovation—This project is for the design, permitting, and
construction of a new City Yard facility at 555 6th Street. The existing facility has far
exceeded its useful life and is in poor condition with a growing urgency for extensive
repairs and renovation to ensure continued use and efficient delivery service. Staff is
actively working on advancing the project and retained the services of an experienced
Owners Representative (OR) in January 2026, that will be responsible for coordinating
the advancement of the overall project and assisting the City with developing a clear
schedule and budget and advising the City on a project delivery method. Advancement
of architectural programming and environmental assessment is necessary to determine
an order of magnitude cost for any potential renovation and the necessary environmental
remediation. Working with the OR, staff engaged the services of one of the City’s on-call
architects (IDS Group) to lead the architectural programming effort and held a kick -off
meeting on April 6, 2026. IDS is actively working on evaluating existing operations. The
City team issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) for CEQA and environmental services
on February 19, 2026, received proposals on March 16, 2026, and anticipates bringing a
contract to City Council for consideration at the May 26, 2026, meeting. Staff anticipates
Page 16 of 129
City of Hermosa Beach | Page 14 of 24
bringing an item to City Council in Summer 2026 to further discuss the project including,
but not limited to, project delivery options.
CIP 623 Municipal Pier Structural Inspection and Evaluation—CIP 623 includes the
full detailed inspection of the Pier structure and the design and construction of the high
priority repairs that must be completed by 2027.
At the May 13, 2025 CIP Study Session, staff provided Council with a preliminary update
on the findings of the assessment report that indicated the need for substantial repair
work with a rough order of magnitude cost of $6.7M over the next 5 years, including $3.7M
of high priority repairs within the next 1 to 2 years to address high priority repairs; however
only $3.7M was available at the time to fund the first phase of improvements. These initial
results were used to identify and advance the design and permitting of the high priority
repairs, which are now at the 75% design level and staff is actively working to finalize the
design package, which may be subject to special cond itions following the conclusion of
permitting efforts with the Coastal Commission. The project scope includes replacement
of 4 concrete deck panels, structural strengthening of 14 deck panels, and crack injection
and spall repair for approximately 35% of d eck panel soffits. Pending receipt of final
permits, staff is anticipating advertising the project by Spring or Summer 2026, with start
of construction targeted to begin as soon as October 2026 as the repairs must be
completed as soon as possible. Concurrent with design development efforts, staff also
applied for several grants but were not successful due to a high volume of competitive
applications and limited funding availability.
At the March 24, 2026, City Council meeting, staff presented the results of the final
structural inspection report and cost-benefit analysis to guide the City in near- and long-
term decision making. The assessment determined that the Pier is in poor to serious
structural condition and will require reinspection and repair every 5 years for the
foreseeable future as the structure continues to age in a highly corrosive marine
environment. A new Pier is estimated to cost approximately $58.6M (in 2032 dollars) and
would save the City more than $100M in lifecycle costs if replaced. Due to the extensive
planning, environmental review, and permitting requirements, the replacement process is
expected to take at least 6 to 8 years before construction could begin. Council would need
to provide direction on the potential for replacement by the end of 2026 to possibly break
ground by 2032 or provide direction by no later than 2030 to break ground by 2036. The
timing of the decision would impact whether the City will need to start reserving funds for
the next round of repairs slated in 2030 that would need to be budgeted in the FY 2027-
2028 budget. Council directed staff to bring the proposed pier replacement project options
to the Public Works Commission for further analysis.
CIP 635 Community Center Windows—This project includes evaluation of windows
replacement for the entire facility to address deferred maintenance needs. The existing
windows present safety and security concerns due to poor conditions. The City’s
Page 17 of 129
City of Hermosa Beach | Page 15 of 24
architectural design consultant completed a preliminary needs assessment study with an
order of magnitude cost estimate for budgeting purposes. This project is currently funded
for design and permitting only; additional funding will be required for installation once
costs are further defined. Staff will continue working on developing a scope of services
for the design and permitting phase.
CIP 685 Real Time Crime Center—This federally-funded project consists of the
installation of various security cameras and associated infrastructure throughout the City
to enhance and augment the Police Department’s existing security cameras and viewing
software. The City has entered into a Funding Agreement with the Federal government
and is currently in the process of receiving approval to ensure its materials meet the terms
and conditions of said Agreement. Given recent changes to the federal government’s
staffing levels and recent federal government shutdowns, coordination with the City’s
federal counterparties remains a challenge.
Proposed FY 2026–27 CIP
As part of the annual budget cycle, staff conducts a detailed review of each CIP project
to refine project scopes and cost estimates. Staff also evaluates the CIP as a whole,
including new project requests, grant- and funding-related timelines, public safety needs,
and/or regulatory requirements against available funding and staffing levels. The resultant
holistic and careful review is necessary to properly sequence and deliver the projects in
a timely manner.
While staff made significant progress on many of the projects in the CIP this past year,
staff identified several high priority projects that require funding in the upcoming fiscal
year and beyond – as they were either not fully funded (e.g. previously funded only for
design and no construction funds) or deemed underfunded as a result of rising costs
and/or greater understanding of the scopes of work following design development. With
limited funding for FY 2026-27, staff is recommending numerous funding transfers across
the CIP to free up general fund dollars as much of the CIP utilizes various restricted
funding sources. Notable changes to CIP funding include, but are not limited to, the
following:
CIP 106 Annual Street Improvements - $1.16M increase (continued need to
enhance pavement conditions)
CIP 113 Citywide Multi-space meter deployment - $150k increase (additional
construction funding required; previously underfunded.)
CIP 193 Hermosa Avenue Safety Improvements - $372k transfer (formerly CIP 193
Pedestrian Crossing Safety Improvements and has been renamed and merged
with CIP 102 Bus Stop Safety Improvements. This funding is anticipated to be
replaced with Measure MSP funds through Metro).
Page 18 of 129
City of Hermosa Beach | Page 16 of 24
CIP 423 Annual Sewer - $2.29M increase (to address construction funding needs.
This amount also includes $300k in paving funds to enhance paving conditions on
certain road segments beyond simple trench repair).
CIP 438 Stormwater Drywells - $1.18M increase (should staff not be successful in
securing Safe Clean Water program grant funds for this project, this partial funding
will allow the city to advance a first phase drywell design and construction to meet
state stormwater mandates and avoid potential fines. It is anticipated that
approximately $ 5M - 7M is needed for the overall construction cost).
CIP 610 Fort Lots of Fun Park Wall and Gate Improvements - $175k increase to
more adequately cover construction; previously underfunded.
CIP 611 Parking Structure C Phase 2 Improvements - $25k increase (required to
more adequately fund design; previously underfunded).
CIP 615 City Yard Renovation - $1M increase (to cover anticipated costs in the
coming FY as the project remains underfunded).
CIP 623 Pier Structural Repairs - $975k increase (to cover anticipated increase in
costs for construction).
CIP 625 Citywide ADA Improvements - $77k increase (to cover anticipated cost to
design the project; the project remains underfunded with no construction funds).
CIP 635 Community Center Windows - $76k increase (to cover anticipated cost to
design and permit the project; the project remains significantly underfunded with
no construction funds - $2.3M additional is required).
With limited funding and staffing resources to deliver projects, staff recommends moving
two projects to the Deferred and Unfunded Future Project list:
CIP 621—Comprehensive Downtown Lighting – this project only has $142,284
available to advance conceptual design only and remains underfunded to advance
any final design of construction.
CIP 618 —Tsunami Siren – the funding is tied to a FEMA grant which is largely
insufficient to advance the project or at the desired location.
The adjustment to the CIP would allow staff to focus on delivery and necessary funding
for numerous high-priority projects, while adding two new projects that have grown in
urgency to address deferred facility maintenance:
CIP 636 —Civic Center Roof Repairs
CIP 637 —Lawn Bowling Roofing
The proposed FY 2026–27 CIP Budget would include 24 projects, of which 22 are carried
over from FY 2025–26 and 2 projects are new. The new projects, and other recommended
project deferrals and budget adjustments, would result in a CIP budget of
$23,227,292 (Attachment 1).
Page 19 of 129
City of Hermosa Beach | Page 17 of 24
While the CIP budget has grown significantly in recent years, it was largely a function of
projects being added faster than they could be completed. FY 2026 -27 is anticipated to
show a marked decrease in overall funding as staff has been aggressively working to
eliminate CIP backlog and CIP funding is no longer keeping up with the rate of
expenditures. The Public Works Department is now spending approximately $8M to $12M
on CIPs, but is only anticipated to have approximately $4.7M of new funds for FY 2026 -
27; the majority of those new funds are restricted to specific uses.

The CIP is one of many components of the City’s overall budget and staff is working
through department budget requests and will have a full picture of available funding, and
whether further adjustments to the CIP are necessary, in advance of Budget adoption;
therefore all estimates provided in this report are preliminary and subject to change.
Attachment 2 details an estimated schedule and sequencing for the delivery of the
proposed FY 2026–27 CIP considering projected engineering project management staff
capacity in labor hours versus the time commitment required to advance each project
through design and construction. Several projects have fixed schedules in order to meet
grant-specific and/or regulatory timelines and other high priority safety needs.
With 24 projects in the FY 2026-27 CIP, staff workload will remain extremely heavy
for the next two fiscal years, and beyond, with no capacity to take on new projects
as staff continues to work through a backlog of projects carried over from past years,
address urgent deferred maintenance needs with other priority projects likely to
be identified in the future.
The dates in the schedule are tentative and subject to revision depending on any
future unplanned work, staffing levels, or as other Council priorities
are identified throughout the year. Requests to advance one particular project over
another will have a direct impact on the timing of other projects. Staff recommends a
continued focus on prioritizing deferred maintenance and safety projects such as building
maintenance, sidewalks, sewer, storm drains, and paving during FY 2026–27 over
enhancement projects. Continued investment in basic foundational areas will help reduce
future maintenance and capital costs.

Attachment 3 details the Five-Year CIP for FY 2026–27 through FY 2030–31 and the
Deferred and Unfunded Future Projects list. This includes over nearly $60M in unfunded
needs for currently programmed or recurring projects identified on the 5 -year CIP, plus an
additional $90M to $221M for projects not currently programmed but listed on the
Deferred and Unfunded Future Projects list – notably this list was amended to include
potential future reconstruction costs of the Pier roughly estimated at $58.6M (in 2032
dollars).
Project Summary Sheets are provided in Attachment 4 for projects recommended to be
programed for FY 2026-27 and the Deferred and Unfunded Future Projects.
Additional Matters for Council Consideration:
1. Projects recommended to be moved to the Deferred and Unfunded Future
Project list:
CIP 621 Comprehensive Downtown Lighting – the FY 2025-26 CIP set aside a
$142,284 budget to cover preliminary design only and remains underfunded for
any resulting final design and construction, which could be substantially higher for
lighting upgrades or new lighting. Therefore, staff is recommending deferral of this
project and replacement with 2 lower cost supplemental budget requests for further
consideration:
i. LED Streetlight Conversion – replacement of the existing induction lights at
the 28 street light poles along Pier Avenue with a light emitting diode (LED)
retrofit lights. The new lights can be purchased for approximately $15,000
and installed by City crews. The new lights will enhance lighting levels, save
on energy costs, and allow City crews to more readily address street light
outages as the existing induction lights are essentially obsolete and difficult
to source replacement parts. Staff is currently testing an LED light in front
of 439 Pier Avenue (Stecca Taverna) and has ordered 2 additional test lights
to further evaluate different color temperatures.
ii. Palm Tree String Light Installation – installation of string lights on the palm
trees within the center median of Pier Avenue. In recent years the lighting
on the center palms has been limited to during holidays, but this
supplemental would keep them installed year long. Staff has identified LED
rope lighting that are capable of different color settings. The lights could be
purchased for approximately $14,000 and installed by City Crews. Based
on prior efforts lighting these Palms, staff anticipates that this will require a
recurring funding commitment to replace lights and address work orders
associated with lights not functioning properly. The installation of these
lights could also be considered by City Council to proceed as a public-
Page 22 of 129
City of Hermosa Beach | Page 20 of 24
private partnership, through an agreement with the City and another non-
profit entity, such as the Chamber of Commerce. The Private Partner would
determine and install the lighting and ensure proper ma intenance with a
licensed and insured contractor.
CIP 618 Tsunami Siren – The City was originally awarded an approximately
$75,000 FEMA grant through CalOES as a passthrough to install a tsunami
warning siren at the Community Center (this includes $75,000 from FEMA and a
$25,000 City match for a total of $100,000. This location was originally identified
as it was anticipated that Los Angeles County would implement the Beach
Emergency Evacuation Lights System (BEELS) system along the beach and this
location would provide expanded capacity. Staff learned from the County that
installation of the BEELS system in Hermosa Beach is facing significant delays
and there is no clear timeline for implementation. Staff also determined that the
cost of installation of the BEELS system at the Community Center would likely cost
more than $400,000 and is not fully covered by the grant. The Community Center
is also not the ideal location for a standalone siren given its distance from the
beach – installation of a secondary system, would not meet the greatest need.
As part of the FY 2025-26 budget process, staff had identified an alternative siren
system, independent from BEELS, at three locations along our beach in an effort
to deploy warning devices on a faster timeline until a more robust BEELS system
could be deployed, but would cost upwards of approximately $160,000 for
equipment and installation plus ongoing wireless communication costs – this
option would not be able to use the current FEMA funding.
Staff recommends removing this project from the CIP and continue efforts to
coordinate with CalOES on future plans to deploy the BEELS system and possible
outside grants to cover the cost of a future project.
2. New Project Added to Deferred and Unfunded Future Project List:
Vetter Windmill – In July 2025, staff completed a comprehensive structural
inspection and evaluation of the windmill, which identified serious structural
concerns. On July 24, 2025, the City used a crane to address the immediate
hazard by removing the windmill assembly. The engineering report found that the
support holding the approximately 1,800-pound windmill unit atop the wooden
tower is corroded, posing a serious risk that high winds or land movement could
cause it to detach. Additional structural issues were also identified. Staff have since
contacted experts familiar with the restoration and construction of windmills and
obtained costs estimates for that work. The windmill assembly, which largely dates
back to the early 1900’s, aside from some more recent refurbishments, could be
fully restored, but the existing wooden structure and foundations would need to be
Page 23 of 129
City of Hermosa Beach | Page 21 of 24
fully replaced. The restoration, design, and construction for this effort is estimated
to cost between $400,000 and $500,000 to complete. Staff is recommending that
this item be deferred given the high cost for replacement and constrained
workload.
3. High Priority Projects Remain Underfunded:
Staff is proposing to advance high priority projects while funding critical phases to
keep projects moving; however, several projects remain underfunded and the
Deferred and Unfunded Future project list continues to grow each year. While staff
will continue to actively pursue grant funding to advance critical projects, grants
cannot be relied on to advance the City’s highest priorities. Grant programs are
generally very restrictive and often do not align with the City’s greatest deferred
maintenance need. Staff has applied for several grants in the past year, but were
not successful due to a high volume of competitive applications and limited funding
availability. The City is also at a competitive disadvantage as many grants give
preference to disadvantaged communities for which the City of Hermosa Beach
generally does not qualify. Grants can also be time intensive to administer and
generally extend the delivery period for a project , especially when federal funding
is involved.
There are several underfunded projects in the CIP that will require additional
funding; however, staff recommends giving priority to the following in the near-
term:
i. City Yard – The full cost of the City Yard project is not well defined and is
very roughly estimated in the order of magnitude of around $20M but is
subject to change. Staff is actively advancing architectural programming
and environmental work so that a more defined scope of work and budget
can be determined for the project for consideration b y City Council. Staff is
recommending $1M increase to the FY 2026-27 budget for the CIP to cover
ongoing costs to advance these efforts and reserve funds for future
abatement needs. The City yard has far exceeded its useful life and is in
poor condition with a growing urgency for extensive repairs and
renovation to ensure continued use and service delivery and must move
forward in a timely manner.
ii. Paving – the CIP includes 2 paving projects and staff is recommending an
increase in funding levels for those projects by $4.3M for FY 2026-27. Staff
anticipates creating a new paving project(s) in FY 2027-28 which will require
at least $3.1M in construction (excluding design and inspection costs) just
to maintain current pavement condition levels based on the most recently
Pavement Management Program (PMP) plan (2024) or a higher amount to
enhance condition. Continued investment in roadways will be critical to
Page 24 of 129
City of Hermosa Beach | Page 22 of 24
reducing long-term deferred maintenance costs. Staff has two projects this
FY and also recommending an increase in the Public Work maintenance
budget to allow for enhanced efforts to perform crack sealing by city crews.
Resurfacing will require a continued funding commitment each year.
Staff recommends creating a new resurfacing project in FY 2027 -28.
iii. Community Center Windows – The Community Center Windows
throughout the facility are in very poor condition and presents an ongoing
safety concern. Staff has completed a preliminary needs assessment and
determined that project could cost upwards of $2.5M to complete; however,
due to limited funding resources is only recommending funding to advance
the design and approvals process for the windows during FY 2026-27, with
a goal of returning either at mid-year or as part of the FY 2027-28 budget
cycle to request construction funding once the costs and design are more
clearly defined. This project is growing in urgency and cannot continue to
be deferred.
iv. Pier – The current round of repairs is slated to begin in 2026 and will only
address the highest priority structural needs that must be addressed by
2027. The Pier is in poor to serious condition. Replacing the pier could
save the City more than $100M in lifecycle costs but will require
approximately $58.6M and take at least 6 to 8 years after a decision is made
to advance before construction could begin. A decision would need to be
made by the end of 2026 to advance with planning efforts, otherwise, the
City will need to begin reserving funds in FY 2027-28 for the next round of
repairs that would need to be completed by 2030. Continued dedication of
funding for the Pier will be required in the near -term regardless of any
decision to reconstruct or replace the Pier in the future.
v. Dry Wells – This project is required per the City’s Watershed
Management Plan (WMP), approved by the State Water Resources Control
Board (Water Board) and must be advanced to avoid potential fines.
Staff recommends continued focus on advancing this project in a timely
manner.
4. Special Projects Impact on CIP Delivery:
The Public Works Department CIP workload is completely full for the next two
years with no capacity to take on new projects and the workplan for FY 2026-27
remains highly sensitive to staffing levels and changes in that workplan. The
addition of projects outside of the CIP, such as Hermosa Beach Little League
Improvements at Clark Field, or a potential dog park, or evaluation of new special
events, directly reduce the availability of Public Works staff (both engineering
and operations and maintenance) to work on other projects and limit overall
service delivery. While the advancement of these types of projects by non-profit
groups may reduce the City’s capital investment for the project, it does not
Page 25 of 129
City of Hermosa Beach | Page 23 of 24
eliminate the design review and oversight role and will compete with other
needs. The actual impact on overall CIP delivery will largely depend on actual
timeline for advancement, completeness of design prepared by third party
designers, fund raising, and Council direction on priority versus other projects. The
addition of these projects, or others in the future, may r equire reconsideration of
priorities in the CIP.
Ongoing Budget Process
As a reminder to City Council and the community, there are several upcoming meetings
in which the CIP and Preliminary FY 2026–27 Budget will be discussed prior to final
adoption; these meetings are in addition to the City Council Budget Study Session that
was held on April 28, 2026, the Joint Parks and Recreation Commission review of the FY
2026-27 CIP held on May 5 ,2026, and Department Budget Presentations at the May 12,
2026 City Council meeting. The community is invited and encouraged to provide feedback
in advance of each meeting:
May 26, 2026—City Council Budget Discussion
May 28, 2026—City Council CIP Study Session
June 9, 2026—City Council Budget Hearing
June 16, 2026—Planning Commission – CIP General Plan Conformance
June 23, 2026—City Council Final Budget Hearing / Adoption of the FY 2026 –27
Budget
Fiscal Impact:
The proposed FY 2026–27 Capital Improvement Program identifies an overall budget of
$23,227,292 which includes $8,020,170 of requested additional funds for the CIP for the
2026–27 Fiscal Year. Of the $8,020,170 of requested additional funds, $4,703,618 is new
revenue funds that the City is receiving with the remaining funds being carried out over
the prior fiscal years or released of CIP project budgets in the current fiscal year. A
majority of the new funds are from restricted use funding sources.
The funding is allocated in the following project categories:
Street + Highway Improvements: $8,074,820
Sewer + Storm Drain Improvements: $5,378,296
Park Improvements: $863,789
Public Building + Ground Improvements: $8,910,387
Staff also identified several other future projects and subsequent phases of current
projects and added them to the Deferred and Unfunded Future Project list, including more
than $60M in unfunded needs for currently programmed or recurring project needs, as
identified on the 5-year CIP, and an additional $90M to $221M of other unfunded needs
Page 26 of 129
City of Hermosa Beach | Page 24 of 24
for projects not currently programmed but identified on the Deferred and Unfunded Future
Projects list.

Hermosa Beach’s street network currently has a Pavement Condition Index (PCI) 68, which is a decline
from 2021's PCI of 70. A minimum of $3.1 million in construction (excluding design and inspection costs) is
needed on an annual basis to maintain or improve the City's roadway conditions. Current priorities focus
on major arterials and collectors with the lowest PCI score roadways to improve overall pavement
conditions. Continued investment in paving will reduce City’s long-term deferred maintenance costs and
improve PCI.
Maintenance
Regular resurfacing is necessary to reduce recurring maintenance needs and long-term costs.

CIP 107 Slurry Seal Improvements
Scope of Work
This project involves crack and slurry sealing approximately 230,000 square feet across various city
streets and restore street striping. For cracks between ¼ inch and 1 inch wide, sealing material will
be applied. Cracks exceeding 1 inch will be patched with asphalt.
Justification
Following the crack seal, an asphalt slurry seal will be applied to bond with the aged surface to
extend the overall lifespan of the city’s roadways. These improvements provide a protective surface
layer that will last for approximately 5 to 7 years. Slurry sealing, including crack sealing, will help
reduce long-term maintenance costs and increase the street’s Pavement condition Index (PCI)
value.
Maintenance
Extends the lifespan of roadway surface reducing lifecycle costs.

CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM (CIP) STUDY SESSION
Fiscal Year 2026-27
May 28, 2026
Page 95 of 129
•Purpose –Fiscal Year (FY) 26–27 CIP Study
Session: scopes, funding, and align staff
capacity with priorities.
•Staffing & funding are constrained. No
capacity for new projects.
•Deferring projects is no longer sustainable.
•Many projects are not fully funded.
•Tonight is part of larger budget discussions
for FY 26-27.
Overview
Page 96 of 129
Fiscal Environment and Implications
•CIP funded through one-time unspent General Fund
surplus, masked by ARPA COVID funds and vacancies.
•Funds declining or exhausted due to project
completion.
•No projected surplus in FY 2025–26 to replenish CIP nor
ongoing funding source in place.
Bottom Line: The historical CIP funding model has ended.
Page 97 of 129
Fiscal Environment and Implications
•Heavy reliance on State/County funds → unpredictable timing and
funding available for only specific projects.
•Cannot scale to meet full infrastructure needs or major projects.
•Major unfunded projects: City Yard, Pier, other infrastructure needs.
•Competing with operations: ~$3.2M structural deficit; one-time
funds needed for budget.
Impact: project delays, cost escalation, and infrastructure
deterioration.
Bottom Line: CIP requires stable, ongoing funding—not one-time or
external sources.
Page 98 of 129
Key Challenges for Project Delivery
1.CIP workload is completely full for the next two years with no capacity to take on new projects.
o Projects reaching critical state (e.g., Pier, City Yard, Dry
Wells, Community Center Windows, etc.).
2.The PW Operations and Maintenance team plays a critical role in the planning and advancement of all CIPs.
3.Workplan remains highly sensitive to staffing levels.

1.City Yard - poor condition with a growing urgency for
extensive repairs
2.Paving - continued funding commitment needed
(new project FY 27-28)
3.Community Center Windows - growing in urgency
(safety/security)
4.The Pier – poor to serious condition
5.Drywells – project is required to avoid fines
Additional Matters for Commission Consideration

4. Special Projects Impact on CIP Delivery
•PW has no capacity to take on new projects.
•Special Projects (e.g., Little League improvements to
Clark Field, Dog Park, new special events, etc.) will
impact CIP delivery.

other needs.
