FILLING EMPTY SPACE The City Council is expected to enter into the construction phase of a project to replace interim landscaping with a permanent courtyard in areas impacted by the demolition of former police building additions to City Hall.

City staff is recommending Pima Corp. for the construction contract, which is in the amount of $217,200, with an emergency fund of $27,120.

On Dec. 16, 2003, the City Council approved the demolition of the former police building and replaced it with interim landscaping until a permanent courtyard could be designed, according to a city staff report.

On Jan. 10, 2006, ROD Buildings Inc. was hired to rehabilitate those areas impacted by the police building, including infill of non-original openings and installation of doors and windows at historic locations in and near the courtyard. It is anticipated that the restoration work will be nearing completion, prior to installing the interim landscape, according to a city staff report.

Pima beat out nine other contractors for the bid. Pima has successfully completed several other projects in the city, including repairs to pedestrian walkways to the beach, Santa Monica Airport landscaping, irrigation and drainage improvements, and traffic improvements for Sunset Park.
