DISCUSSION:
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.
Current progress consists of improving site sewer, water, drainage and pipe installation work. In addition, construction of curb and gutter, pedestrian walkway and sidewalk, installation of bioswale, installation of new playground and shade sail, continued construction of restroom building, construction of fencing and gates, installation of site electrical, lighting and security and installation of irrigation. Change Order #1 provides design changes to the shade sail structure to provide a wider range of shaded area. Also, an addition of drywall to enhance stormwater drainage system.
