Boards and Commission: Parks and Recreation Commission - July 27, 2026

The City of Manhattan Beach Parks and Recreation Commission met on July 27, 2026, to discuss several ongoing and upcoming projects and community programs. A key procurement-related update was the Pay and Play project, where the demolition contract was awarded to UBD Incorporated, with the bid expected to be formally approved by the City Council on August 4, 2026. The demolition is estimated to cost under $200,000, with an additional $30,000 for grass and fencing installation. The project timeline includes contract finalization, insurance and bond collection, and a pre-construction meeting, with demolition anticipated to occur around October. The commission also received updates on other capital improvement projects such as marine fencing, Manhattan Heights park enhancements, and Veterans Parkway fence repairs, with contracts awarded and insurance collection underway. Additionally, the commission discussed community outreach plans, park amenities improvements, and senior programs, but no new contract awards or RFPs were announced during this meeting.
