City Hall – Front Entrance Pergola Replacement

Project Overview

The City of Lompoc is replacing the aging timber pergola that frames the main entrance to City Hall. The existing structure has reached the end of its service life and now detracts from both visitor safety and the building’s architectural character. Our goal is to install a new pergola that replicates the original silhouette and proportions while meeting today’s structural and durability standards.

Design Intent

We are seeking a qualified contractor who can mill, assemble, and finish a like‑for‑like cedar or redwood system. The finished piece must blend seamlessly with the Mediterranean‑revival façade, withstand coastal weather, and require minimal maintenance over the next 20 years.

Why Bid

This is a high‑visibility project at the civic core of Lompoc, offering the selected vendor prominent exposure and an opportunity to showcase craftsmanship on a signature municipal asset. Contractors with a track record in boutique exterior woodworking, historical replicas, or custom entrance features are encouraged to submit qualifications and preliminary schedules.

The City of Lompoc’s Civic Center was conceived as both a functional government hub and a central civic plaza. Thousands of visitors; residents paying utility bills, business‑license applicants, jurors, students on field trips, and guests attending evening Council meetings enter through the single front entrance pergola every week. The pergola that frames this entrance is therefore more than a decorative element; it is a visual gateway that signals “public welcome”.
