FOR THE 8880 PACIFIC AVENUE DEMOLITION AND ABATEMENT PROJECT, THE
8891 PACIFIC AVENUE DEMOLITION AND ABATEMENT PROJECT, AND THE 8870

HOMELESSNESS STATE OF EMERGENCY AND IN THE INTEREST OF PUBLIC
HEALTH, SAFETY, AND WELFARE IN THE AMOUNT OF $225,000
At its meeting of November 26, 2024, the City Council declared a local emergency caused
by conditions and threatened conditions of homelessness within the City of Stanton. The
Tina Pacific neighborhood has been particularly impacted by the state of emergency, with
transients and homeless individuals regularly trespassing and breaking into vacant units.
In fact, in two separate instances this year, one vacant unit and one garage has been
severely damaged by fires started by transients and/or homeless individuals. In addition,
calls for service specifically identified as homelessness-related have increased by 162
percent from 2023 to 2024 within the City, and the intensity and severity of complaints
from Tina Pacific residents in relation to homelessness-related issues has recently
increased. Pursuant to the local emergency declaration, and in her capacity as the City’s
Director of Emergency Services, the City Manager is requesting authorization to award a
contract for demolition for 8880 Pacific Avenue, 8891 Pacific Avenue, and 8870 Tina Way
which have a history of being broken into by homeless individuals, to prevent further
trespassing and vandalism and to preserve the public health, safety, and welfare of the
community.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
1. City Council declare the work proposed under this scope increase to be categorically
exempt under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), Class 1, Section
15301(l)(3); and
2. Authorize staff to exercise an exception to the standard procurement procedures in
the best interests of the City to preserve the public health, safety, and welfare of the
community; and
3. Award a construction contract to Integrated Demolition and Remediation, Inc., to
provide professional demolition and abatement services in the amount of $225,000;
and
4. Authorize the City Manager/Director of Emergency Services to bind the City of Stanton

and
5. Authorize the City Manager/Director of Emergency Services to approve contract
change orders with Integrated Demolition and Remediation, Inc., as needed and
