Board approves CT construction‑management contract to move Granada Park permitting forward

The board voted to approve a proposal from CT construction management to help shepherd the Granada Community Park through remaining design, traffic counts and coastal permitting.

Staff described recent updates from BKF (lighting plan and revised engineering drawings), an in‑progress traffic study that will add weekend counts and the need to bring a construction program manager on early to prepare permitting and phasing. Directors said the firm’s size (about 30–35 people) and prior coastside experience make it a practical choice for the district’s needs.

The motion to approve the CPM proposal passed unanimously (voice vote recorded as 5 in favor). Staff said CPM’s immediate tasks include expedited onboarding, validating costs and supporting the coastal development permit application expected to be filed by late May. The board’s action is intended to keep the park project on the permitting schedule and to produce staffing and budget support for future phases.
