Summary

Council unanimously awarded the Pavement Rehabilitation 2024 project (Measure H funds) to Mercer Fraser as the low bidder (~$2.25M), adding buffered bike lanes and bike facility extensions on multiple corridors.

The Eureka City Council unanimously approved the Measure H‑funded Pavement Rehabilitation 2024 project during the Sept. 17 meeting, awarding the contract to Mercer Fraser as the low bidder at approximately $2,250,000. Public Works Director described the work as repaving sections of Harris Street (from Broadway to H), H Street (Harris to Oak) and Myrtle Avenue (Fifth to Harrison) and noted inclusion of complete‑streets elements such as buffered bike lanes and an extension of the Myrtle Avenue bike facility.

Director of Public Works said five bids were received and Mercer Fraser submitted the lowest responsive bid. Council member Bauer pulled the consent item for clarification and moved approval; the council seconded and recorded a unanimous yes vote.

Staff noted the project approach is consistent with the city's complete‑streets policy and is financed through Measure H funds. The contract award will allow construction to move forward this season and advance planned bike‑friendly pavement improvements in the targeted corridors.
