Description

This project involves the reconstruction of existing stairways adjacent to the Hacienda at Leo Carrillo Ranch Historic Park. The work includes rebuilding the stairs with new materials that maintain the historic look and feel while complying with current codes, using flat stones instead of uneven rocks, and replacing handrails. The contractor must provide and install temporary railings due to extended lead times for permanent railings, then later remove the temporary railings and install the permanent ones. The City prefers phased construction to keep at least one stairway open but may allow temporary closure of all three stairways if it significantly reduces schedule or costs while maintaining safe pedestrian access.
