$2.19M construction contract approved for Dewey Drive, Van Maren Lane project

By Sara Beth Williams–
The Citrus Heights City Council on Wednesday awarded a construction contract for an enhancement project on Dewey Drive and Van Maren Lane.

At a July 10 City Council meeting, the City Council unanimously approved the award for a $2.19 million construction contract to JPB Designs Inc.

Construction for the Dewey Drive/Van Maren Lane project will extend from Auburn Boulevard at Van Maren Lane, south to the city limits at Connemara Circle, and include pedestrian, bicycle, and vehicle enhancements, such as intersection accessibility upgrades, storm drain upgrades, traffic calming elements, bicycle safety upgrades, resurfacing, and new roadway striping.

On June 27, the city opened bids for the Dewey Drive/Van Maren Lane Enhancement Project, and after evaluation, the city determined that JPB Designs, Inc. submitted the “lowest responsive and responsible bid” at $2.19 million.

According to the city, there is no fiscal impact as funding for the project has been allocated from several department funds and grants, including $1.05 million from the Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account, $390,000 from the Community Development Block Grant, $250,000 from the Stormwater Utility Fund, nearly $433,000 from Measure A Maintenance funds, and $400,000 from the gas tax. Construction is anticipated to begin in Fall 2024.
