Council approves Measure S change order for street and concrete maintenance project
Summary
Council authorized change order No. 1 to the Measure S fiscal year 2025 streets and concrete maintenance contract, increasing work area after additional deterioration and making use of SB1 state funds; staff stated the change order uses Measure S contingency and SB1 funds.
The Crescent City Council on Tuesday authorized change order No. 1 to the fiscal year 2025 Measure S streets and concrete maintenance contract, after staff described additional pavement deterioration discovered since the project’s original scope and an opportunity to apply SB1 state transportation funds to some repairs.
Public Works Director Yeager described the maintenance effort as the first of two planned projects for the fiscal year: a smaller maintenance contract and a later capital improvement project. Yeager said original quantities for targeted asphalt repairs increased as field conditions worsened — one area planned at about 3,100 square feet rose to roughly 5,100 square feet, and another original estimate of 7,800 square feet grew to about 13,500 square feet — and staff used SB1 funds where permitted to cover larger repairs on A Street.
Yeager said concrete work — sidewalks, curbs and heaved panels — is underway in many locations and that approximately 80% of the concrete repairs remain to be completed pending favorable weather. He told the council that the maintenance contract’s contingency was established from Measure S funds and that the change order relies on a mix of Measure S contingency and SB1 funds already allocated for street maintenance.
Staff presented a change order total in the meeting and then read a more precise amount from their materials during the presentation. Council recorded a unanimous vote to authorize the city manager to sign the change order. The vote record shows: Council member Dooley — yes; Council member Greenough — yes; Mayor Pro Tem Wright — yes; Mayor Altman — yes.
No member of the public spoke against the change order. Yeager said staff followed best practices by prioritizing the worst pavement segments where funding did not permit wholesale replacement.
The council’s action authorizes the city manager to sign the change order with Tidewater Contractors, Inc., for fiscal year 2025 maintenance work; staff said they expect to use the project contingency and SB1 funds to cover the increased quantities and that concrete pours and asphalt paving have already begun.
