Hawaiian Gardens council unanimously awards $1.18 million arterial street contract to Onyx Paving
Summary
The Hawaiian Gardens City Council voted unanimously Feb. 25 to award a $1,182,000 contract to Onyx Paving Company for Arterial Street Improvement Project 116. The project uses CDBG funds, meets Section 3 preferences, and requires an additional $95,691 from unallocated CDBG funds to cover estimated costs.
The Hawaiian Gardens City Council voted unanimously on Feb. 25 to award a $1,182,000 contract to Onyx Paving Company of Yorba Linda for Arterial Street Improvement Project 116.
In a staff presentation, the Public Works Director said the project covers two street segments (Carson Street from Pioneer Boulevard to Norwalk Boulevard, and Pioneer Boulevard from Carson Street to 221st Street) and includes cold milling of existing asphalt, an asphalt rubber hot‑mix overlay of full street width, crack sealing, replacement of damaged curbs and gutters, new sidewalks and ADA‑compliant curb ramps, refreshed striping and vehicle‑detector‑loop replacement, and installation of Class 2 bicycle lanes on Carson Street.
Staff reported seven bids were received following a January bid advertisement; Onyx Paving was the lowest responsive bidder. The project is funded primarily with Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and multiple special‑use sources. Staff reported estimated project cost of $1,555,410, available funding totaling $1,459,719, and the need for an additional $95,691 to fully fund the project; staff said that unallocated CDBG funds from a prior year project will be used to cover the shortfall.
The staff report noted that the contract is subject to Section 3 preferences and that Onyx Paving met the program’s bidding requirements. A council member moved to approve the award, a second was received, and the council approved the contract by roll call (yes: council members Depalo, Farfan, Vargas, Mayor Pro Tem (as recorded), and Mayor Del Rio; no: none). The motion carried.
The council did not identify a contract start date during the meeting. The Public Works Director said staff would be available to answer implementation questions and finalize the funding coordination with finance.
What happens next: staff will finalize contract documents, complete the funding transfer using unallocated CDBG funds as described, and coordinate project scheduling and public notices before work begins.
