Staff recommends that the City Council approve this Progress Payment #6 to DOJA, Inc. of Ontario, CA

This project involves enhancing Zela Davis Park, a 0.5-acre underutilized park in the City of Hawthorne. The initiative aims to transform the existing space into a versatile, climate-resilient community area. This will be achieved through the installation of a new playground, a picnic area featuring shade structures, exercise equipment, a half court, walking paths adorned with mosaic art elements, perimeter fencing, restroom building, California native plants, bioswale, and various sustainable elements. All activities will be conducted in accordance with the specified Plans and Specifications to ensure the successful completion of the improvements.

The project is still in progress with demolition and grading completed, as well as a curb ramp constructed and light posts installed. Installation of the new playground equipment has begun as well as footing sfor a new fence and continued work on the restroom building.

This project is a result of the City working closely with funding and regulatory agencies to support and improve our infrastructure. This project will enhance the quality of life in the City, creating publicly accessible and usable open space.
