Council awards $5.555 million contract to Onyx Paving for citywide street rehabilitation
Summary
Riverside approved awarding Bid No. 8168 to Onyx Paving (Yorba Linda) at $5,555,000 to deliver FY24-25 arterial, collector and residential street rehabilitation, including ADA ramp upgrades and alley milling reuse; councilors praised accelerated pavement work and funding sources such as Measure Z.
The Riverside City Council voted Jan. 6 to award a $5,555,000 construction contract to Onyx Paving Company for a multi‑location pavement rehabilitation and pedestrian facility improvement project covering fiscal years 2024 and 2025.
Public Works presenter Alex Ramirez said the bid package (Bid No. 8168) covers resurfacing and reconstruction on selected arterials and collectors — including Chicago Avenue, Canyon Crest Drive, Vine Street, Massachusetts Avenue and Dewey Avenue — as well as nearly 0.56 miles of minor residential streets and approximately 0.66 miles of alleyways. The scope includes asphalt milling material reuse, ADA upgrades to pedestrian ramps, curb and gutter repairs, drainage improvements and targeted streetscape and safety elements such as bollards at Alessandro Boulevard and Trotline Road.
Ramirez told the council the program is funded through a mix of state gas tax, county Measure A, and local Measure Z revenues; the lowest responsive bid from Onyx Paving was approximately 10% below the engineer’s estimate. "Onyx Paving's bid presents good value and allows us to continue accelerating our pavement program," Ramirez said.
Council members praised progress on the pavement program, citing miles paved in the previous year and public safety considerations. Council Member Connor moved to approve staff’s recommendation; the motion carried unanimously.
Next steps: staff will execute the construction contract and coordinate construction phasing and public notifications.
