Citrus Heights council approves Chamber grant, architectural contract and $8M road resurfacing program
Summary
On Aug. 27 the council approved a $25,000 Economic Development grant to the Citrus Heights Chamber, authorized an on‑call architectural services agreement with RMW Architecture & Interiors, and awarded an approximately $8 million contract for the 2025 road resurfacing project after staff presentations.
The Citrus Heights City Council on Aug. 27 adopted several resolutions that advance city infrastructure and economic programs.
Grant for Chamber: The council adopted a resolution approving a $25,000 grant from the Economic Development Support Fund to the Citrus Heights Chamber of Commerce to subsidize monthly luncheons, promote Leadership Citrus Heights and support other chamber programs. Megan Huber, economic development director, and Chamber executive director Sherry Merrick described membership growth and program plans; the council moved, seconded and approved the resolution by voice vote.
On‑call architectural services: The council authorized the city manager to execute a three‑year professional services agreement with RMW Architecture & Interiors for on‑call architectural and engineering services. Staff said RMW will provide immediate task orders including construction drawings for the Old Auburn Road building Field Haven will occupy (polished floor and ADA restroom). The contract selection followed a request for qualifications process and staff’s recommendation of RMW.
2025 Road resurfacing award: The council awarded the 2025 road resurfacing construction contract to Valley Slurry Seal International after staff outlined a pavement preservation strategy adopted in 2023 that prioritizes preservation over full reconstruction. City Engineer Leslie Bloomquist said the project covers 125 streets, includes preparatory ADA curb ramp and drainage work, and the low bid totaled just over $8 million; a contingency was included for unforeseen items. Council voted to adopt the resolution authorizing the contract.
These items passed by voice votes during the same meeting that approved the Field Haven lease pilot. Staff said construction scheduling for resurfacing will be coordinated with schools and that certain high‑volume roads may be scheduled in 2026 to avoid winter weather impacts.
