Selective removal, repair, and reconstruction of damaged asphalt and Portland cement concrete pavements;
Installation of new ADA compliant curb ramps where none existed; and Modification and reconstruction of existing ramps to meet current ADA standards.
To ensure competitive bids, the city will advertise the project on multiple plan holders’ websites, which publish project bidding documents, distribute the information to their extensive network of contractors, and construction industry contacts.
The project will also be advertised in a local newspaper, the Glendale Independent, prior to bid opening, as well as on Bidnet Direct, which is a web-enabled data service to the public sector, for the dissemination of the building and construction project proposals to their large number of member contractors and consultants. Finally, the project bidding documents will also be posted on the city’s website.
The construction of this project is anticipated to begin in May 2026 and is scheduled for completion by December 2026.
STAKEHOLDERS/OUTREACH
The contractor will be responsible for distributing two distinct door hangers to the affected addresses. One set of door hangers will be provided two weeks prior to the start of any construction activity within the project area, while the second set will be distributed three days before construction begins.
Furthermore, outreach on this project continues to occur through social media and a dedicated project website that is hosted through the City of Glendale domain. The website familiarizes the public with the project and the project team, explains the scope of work and project locations, and provides the public with staff contact information for questions, discussion, and/or input.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact associated with this report. The current Engineer’s Estimate for the construction of this project is $6,000,000, which was not included as part of the FY 2025-26 budget. Therefore, staff will be requesting for new appropriation from the San Fernando Corridor Tax Share Fund (4100) at the time of the contract award based on the lowest responsive bid received from a responsible contractor.
The San Fernando Corridor Tax Share Fund is designated for improvements to San Fernando Road and its surrounding streets. This project qualifies for funding under this program as the proposed streets are located in the eligible area.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW (CEQA/NEPA)
The Project is categorically exempt from environmental review because of CEQA Guidelines §§ 15301
