EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Ardurra Group, Inc. (Ardurra) provides services to manage construction efforts to complete the Redondo Beach Transit Center Project. These services include contractor management, construction inspection, contractor and subcontractor payroll review, and geotechnical and materials testing services.
