Project Background
The City of Lomita’s 2022-2027 CIP Master Plan includes replacing the water main pipeline and reconstructing the street on Narbonne Avenue from Pacific Coast Highway (PCH) to the southern end of the City, which borders the City of Rolling Hills Estates.
The design calls for constructing approximately 1,600 linear feet of 8-inch-diameter PVC water pipeline to improve flow, pressure and fire protection. This new water main will replace the existing 1928 6-inch and 8-inch water mains.
For the street reconstruction portion of the project, this segment of Narbonne Avenue south of PCH is badly broken up and has a poor Pavement Conditions Index (PCI) score of 22. This project will rehabilitate the pavement by removing the top layer of asphalt by grinding and overlaying with new asphalt concrete and asphalt rubber hot mix. The project also includes upgrading all curb ramps to current Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) standards, as well as revised roadway striping for bicycle lanes.
The Narbonne South Water Main Replacement and Street Reconstruction project is slated to receive state funding from the Coronavirus Response and Relief Supplemental Act of 2021 (CRRSAA) through the California Department of Transportation in the amount of $59,808 as documented in the attached memorandum from the California State Transportation Agency in the staff report from the April 16, 2025, City Council meeting. This CRRSAA fund will be used to partially fund the design of the street portion only.
The design contract was awarded to David Evans and Associates Inc. (DEA) on December 20, 2022, for $173,861 plus a 15% contingency of $26,079. The design is expected to be completed by the end of May 2024. The costs for the street reconstruction and water main replacement portions will be tracked separately.
