Analysis:
The City of Huntington Beach (the “City”) City-owned building located at 17732 Goldenwest Street (dba. and further “Park Bench Café”), is in Central Park East and is one of the City’s leased facilities. Park Bench Café’s roof is aged and has been subject to leaks. There is no drainage on the roof, which has led to pooling on the flat roof, and subsequently deterioration to the building’s wood siding.
Bids were opened on April 3, 2025; however, the Notice of Inviting Bids was not published in a daily, semi-weekly, or weekly newspaper published in the County or the City.
As a result of this, the Notice of Inviting Bids was invalidated due to noncompliance with Section 503 Publishing of Legal Notices, outlined in the City Charter. Staff will work with the City Clerk’s Office to correctly publish the Notice of Inviting bids to select a Contractor to complete the roofing and siding improvements.
Environmental Status:
This project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 15031c under Class 1 of the CEQA Guidelines, California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Chapter 3, because it has no potential to have a significant effect on the environment.
