An update on Phase 2 of the North Ocean Beach Gateway improvement project will be among items discussed at the next Ocean Beach Community Development Corporation (OBCDC) meeting Thursday, May 8 at 7 p.m. at the Ocean Beach Recreation Center, 4726 Santa Monica St.
The gateway project has suffered from time — and cost — delays involved with problems associated with securing a contractor in the competitive bid process.
Phase 2 of the project, at an estimated cost of $498,000, is for an ADA-accessible decorative walkway in pocket Entryway Park at Sunset Cliffs and West Point Loma boulevards.
Mark Nassar, the city’s public works director, in a recent email said Sea Pac Engineering, an L.A.-based firm with San Diego experience on naval and Camp Pendleton projects, is being considered as contractor for the job.
The construction job is expected to take 45 working days to complete, sometime in late June, from the date of the contract award.
Founded in 1993, the OBCDC is a nonprofit dedicated to promoting the vibrancy of Ocean Beach and has been instrumental in completing numerous projects enhancing the beach community’s unique character.
