Sentinel staff report–
The Citrus Heights City Council on Thursday unanimously approved a contract for repaving sections of at least 14 streets in various parts of the city.
The council awarded the contract to Goodfellow Bros. CA, LLC, as the “lowest responsive and responsible base bid,” out of a total of nine bids received. Goodfellow’s bid was $1.3 million, while the remaining bids ranged from just under $1.5 million to as high as $1.8 million.
The council approved Goodfellow’s bid, along with an additional $48,000 for a recommended additive, an additional 15% contingency of about $200,000, and construction management costs of about $135,000, for a total of $1.68 million.
According to a staff report, funding for the project will come almost entirely from SB-1 gas tax funds, with $1.6 million coming from the SB-1 tax and another $80,000 from other gas tax funds. No funding is coming from the city’s General Fund.
According to a staff report, streets included in the city’s 2021 Residential Street Resurfacing Project are:
- Blowing Wind Way
- Carol Avenue
- Celestial Way
- Covewood Court
- Creekmont Way
- Daly Avenue (from Tupelo Drive to Birchglade Way)
- Flaming Arrow Drive
- Forbs Way
- Glass Slipper Way
- Hatfield Court
- Maidstone Way
- Picnic Court
- Scribner Avenue
- Three Sisters Court
The staff report indicates additional streets could be added, as the city has budgeted $2 million for residential street resurfacing in fiscal year 2021-2022.
The report says streets were selected for resurfacing based on results from a recently updated pavement management system and staff inspection of streets, with the program prioritizing roads based on factors including “surface and structural condition, traffic volume, costs and historical repairs.”
Roads in this round of repaving were specifically chosen “because of the level of deterioration in the pavement,” the report said.
The project will also include installation of wheelchair ramps as necessary to meet ADA requirements, along with various concrete, drainage, and roadway repairs, as well as widening where needed to accommodate traffic safety, according to the report.
