EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
On November 5, 2024, Redondo Beach voters approved Measure FP, authorizing the City to issue up to $93,350,000 in general obligation (GO) bonds to fund the replacement and rehabilitation of the City's Police and Fire facilities. The results of the election were certified on December 10, 2024, with 71.41% of residents voting in favor of the ballot measure.
On December 17, 2024, City staff provided a report to the Council on the next steps to begin implementing Measure FP in a timely and transparent manner. On February 27, 2025, the City issued Request for Proposals (RFP) No. 2425-004 for "Owner's Representative and Program Management Services for City Bond Measure (FP) Project Implementation to Reconstruct Fire Stations 1 & 2 and the City's Main Police Station and to Renovate the Police Annex Facility."
The City received 11 proposals, and an internal evaluation committee comprised of staff from the City Manager's Office and the Fire, Police, and Public Works Departments selected the four highest-rated firms to participate in an in-person panel/oral interview process during the week of May 12, 2025.
Ultimately, Griffin Structures, Inc. (Griffin) obtained the highest score in the evaluation process based on the firm's proposed approach and work plan, prior experience with project delivery for public safety facilities, and seasoned project team that has been active in the Southern California community for over four decades.
