Redondo Beach approves Measure FP design-build agreements
Redondo Beach approved agreements on July 1, 2026, with Swinerton Builders and LPA Design Studios to advance the city’s Measure FP public-safety facility projects.
The two firms were selected to serve as the progressive design-build entity for the program. The council action moves Measure FP from planning into design-build implementation, creating a named team for the next phase of work on the city’s public-safety facilities.
Measure FP is a voter-approved public-safety facilities program. The projects are city infrastructure, not a private development, so the agreements represent a step in Redondo Beach’s effort to deliver facilities connected to public safety services.
What changed July 1
Before the action, the program was at the planning stage. The approved agreements now identify Swinerton Builders and LPA Design Studios as the firms responsible for the progressive design-build work tied to the Measure FP projects.
That is an implementation milestone, but it is not the same as completed construction. The public action confirms the agreements and the selection of the design-build team. It does not establish that construction has begun, that any facility is complete or that the facilities are open for use.
For residents, the immediate consequence is that the city can move forward with a designated design and construction partner rather than continuing without an identified team. The next phase is expected to develop the projects in greater detail as Redondo Beach works toward eventual construction.
Scope, cost and timing remain important next steps
The development announcement does not identify the approved contract amounts. It also does not fully specify the number or locations of all facilities, the final project scope or the dates when construction will be completed.
Those details will determine how residents understand the program’s financial size, the facilities included and the schedule for delivering them. They will also be important for evaluating the practical effects of the work as the city moves from implementation planning toward physical construction.
At this stage, the confirmed change is the city’s move into design-build implementation with Swinerton Builders and LPA Design Studios. The ultimate price, detailed scope and completion timeline still need to be established in subsequent city documentation.
What to watch next
Redondo Beach’s official legislative calendar identifies a City Council meeting for Aug. 4, 2026, along with related agenda materials. Those records provide the next scheduled public point for following additional council action and documentation concerning the city’s Measure FP program.
Future milestones will show how the selected team and the city translate the agreement into specific public-safety facilities. That includes the release or confirmation of project details, costs and schedules, as well as any later city action required before construction begins.
The July 1 approval therefore marks a clear transition for Measure FP: Redondo Beach has moved from planning toward design and eventual construction, while the program’s full scope, price and delivery schedule remain ahead.
