The 30-second brief
241 pre-RFPs (projects, hiring and grants) found in City of Palos Verdes Estates's meetings, most in public safety and parks & recreation. The latest, from Oct 20: At its October 20, 2026 hearing, the Planning Commission conditionally approved Miscellaneous Application M-016-26 for a non-standard encroachment for a walking bridge and driveway at 777 Via Del Monte. The approval is tied to later building permit and City Council steps for a license agreement, bonds, and recordation before final permits can be issued. The project still needs civil improvement plan updates, grading/drainage review, and encroachment permits, so there is follow-on work around plans, permits, and right-of-way compliance.
Capital Projects leads its tracked contracts and projects, followed by Public Works and Public Safety.
Latest awards: Pvp Transit for PVP Transit Shuttle Budgeted for City Tree Lighting ($600, Nov 2026) and Cali State Paving for council to Consider Cali State Paving Wall Amendment (Nov 2026).
