The Piedmont City Council approved the low bid from Maguire & Hester for the 2025 pavement-rehabilitation project and authorized an overall construction budget of $1,510,085. The contract covers resurfacing on ten roadways, base repairs and gutter work, and the re-striping of about 32 additional streets with modern thermoplastic materials.

Public Works Director Daniel Gonzales explained the selection approach: the city clusters nearby streets to reduce contractor mobilization and obtain better pricing and efficiency. "We tend to cluster roadways. We want to cluster roadways if possible because the less movement a contractor has to do ... the price gets passed along to us," Gonzales said during his presentation. The project includes placement of roughly 2,000 tons of hot-mix asphalt, targeted dig-outs where sub-base repair is required, and 18 ADA-accessible ramp upgrades.

Staff estimated the program will incrementally raise the city's pavement condition index (PCI) by several points for the included corridors. Funding sources identified in the staff discussion include state pavement funds (SB 1), Measure BB county funds and vehicle-registration fees. The council approved the construction award and CEQA categorical-exemption finding by unanimous roll-call vote.
