Sentinel staff report–
The City Council last month unanimously voted to approve a contract authorizing just under $3 million to go towards repaving portions of 19 heavily deteriorated residential streets in Citrus Heights.

The contract was awarded to All Phase Construction, whose bid came in roughly $50,000 to $300,000 less than five other bids the city received, according to a June 23 staff report.

The project, known as the 2022 Residential Street Resurfacing Project, will include pavement repair and repaving on the following streets:

  • Begonia Court (Shadycrest Way to End)
  • Beta Court (Summerplace Dr to End)
  • Gobi Court (Summerplace Dr to End)
  • Kersten Street (Grenola Way to Noreen Way)
  • Ketch Court (Birchglade Way to End)
  • Mel Court (Rinconada Drive to End)
  • Noreen Way (Grenola Way to Baranga Drive)
  • North Colony Way (Holly Drive to End)
  • Paco Court (Summerplace Drive to End)
  • Reglie Woods Court (Whyte Avenue to End)
  • Ridgeview Court (Parkview Way to End)
  • Rigging Court (Birchglade Way to End)
  • Shady Springs Way (Sunmist Way to Sunburst Way)
  • Shadycrest Way (Sandalwood Drive to End)
  • Sloop Court (Birchglade Way to End)
  • Sprig Oak Court (Lesser Way to End)
  • Verbena Court (Florabella Avenue to End)
  • Wachtel Way (Kenneth Drive to Old Auburn Road)
  • Whaler Court (Windjammer Way to End)

An additional street originally slated to be included, Wild Oak Drive, was removed from the list after city staff learned of a PG&E gas main project planned for the street next year. A staff report said approximately $200,000 will be re-allocated from the approved contract to cover the future resurfacing of Wild Oak Drive after PG&E completes its project.

The repaving project will also include installation of curb ramps where needed to comply with ADA requirements, as well as various concrete and drainage repairs. A timeline for starting the work has not been specified.

A staff report says the streets were selected “due to the level of deterioration in the existing pavement,” as ranked by a computerized pavement management system and staff inspections of the streets.

Funding for the project will come from the city’s Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account, as well as gas tax funds, federal Community Development Block Grant funds, and Stormwater Utility funds. Sacramento County will also contribute funding for a portion of Wachtel Way which borders the county.
