Council awards $1.95M street-preservation contract; rejects one slurry-seal bid
Summary
Riverside City Council approved award of the FY24–25 street preservation project after Public Works recommended rejecting one bid as nonresponsive; staff said the project will preserve roughly 11.6 miles of streets at an estimated contract of $1,949,270.65.
City staff presented the fiscal year 2024–25 Street Preservation Project to the City Council on Feb. 3 and the council approved a construction contract award for the pavement-preservation work.
Public Works’ presentation said the project uses state gas tax, county Measure A and the city's Measure Z funds to preserve about 11.6 miles of streets (9.5 miles receiving localized resurfacing and slurry seal; 2.1 miles receiving a cape seal). The department said preservation is more cost-effective than full resurfacing and noted the project targets streets with pavement-condition-index scores near 60 to extend life before expensive rehabilitation is required.
Staff recommended rejecting the bid submitted by Roy Allen Slurry Seal as nonresponsive and awarding bid number 8167 to the bidder listed in the staff report at an amount reported in the meeting record as $1,949,270.65. Council members asked technical questions about crack repair and slurry sweeping; staff confirmed contractors are required to sweep daily and address loose sand after application. The council moved and voted to approve staff recommendations and award the contract.
The contract award was approved by voice vote. The staff presentation and council discussion included a map of locations and a reminder that the public project map is available for transparency. The agenda minute record shows the motion carried and staff was authorized to execute the construction contract and make minor non-substantive changes as needed.
Note on transcription: the bidder name in the transcript appears as "Union Payment Services Incorporated of Aruba, California," which likely reflects a transcription error in the meeting record. Reported contract amount and the recommendation to reject Roy Allen Slurry Seal are recorded in the council presentation.
