EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The construction plans and specification have been completed for the South Glendale PMP Implementation Project. This project will upgrade street surfaces, pedestrian facilities, sanitary sewer lines, traffic striping and signing, and street lighting throughout the project area.
The intent of this item is for the City Council to adopt the project plans and specification and authorize the City Clerk to advertise for bids.
RECOMMENDATION
Approve the resolution to adopt the plans and specifications for the South Glendale PMP Implementation Project and direct the City Clerk to advertise for bids.
ANALYSIS
The Public Works Department (PWD) maintains a robust CIP that is guided by multiple action plans accepted or adopted by the city, as well as the PMP, that is certified and updated every three to five years; and was most recently updated in 2025 following a comprehensive and automated analysis.
The South Glendale PMP Implementation Project is part of the city’s annual effort to improve sidewalk conditions, enhance pedestrian safety and accessibility, and rehabilitate roadway pavements in residential neighborhoods. 5c2

The roadway pavement rehabilitation includes a range of treatment methods, including low-cost roadway maintenance strategies, standard street rehabilitation methods, and full-depth reconstruction practices. This project will prolong the service life of the pavement, prevent further deterioration, seal aged and cracked pavements, restore skid resistance, improve ride quality of the roadway, reinforce the street structural integrity, and extend or begin a new service life of the neighborhood’s streets.
Street resurfacing involves the rehabilitation of existing street pavement that has deteriorated beyond normal maintenance work. It typically consists of the removal of the top 2-inches of existing Asphalt Concrete (AC) pavement, followed by either the placement of 1.5-inches of Asphalt Rubber Hot Mix (ARHM) pavement wearing surface over a 0.5-inch to variable thickness AC leveling course; or the placement of 2-inches of ARHM pavement wearing surface. This method improves the ride of the roadway, the structural integrity of the pavement, and begins a new service life for the street.
Asphalt Rubber Aggregate Membrane (ARAM) Systems are used for the rehabilitation of existing street pavement that has deteriorated beyond normal street resurfacing methods. ARAM System III consists of the removal of the top 2-inches of existing AC pavement, followed by the placement of 1.5-inches of ARHM pavement wearing surface, over ½-inch AC leveling course, over a 3/8-inch ARAM surface. ARAM System IV consists of removing the outer six feet of existing AC pavement, followed by the placement of 1.5-inches of ARHM pavement wearing surface over a 3/8-inch ARAM surface. These methods improve the ride of the roadway, the structural integrity of the pavement, and begin a new service life for the street.
The project will also construct new compliant curb ramps, remove and replace damaged concrete pavements, including sidewalks, curb and gutter, driveways, cross gutters, improve street lighting, and install new traffic striping, pavement markings and signage.
Project Location
The project is located in Maintenance Districts 1 and 3 (see Exhibit 1).
Project Scope
Approximately 2.1 centerline miles of surface grinding and placement of ARHM; Approximately 2.4 centerline miles of surface grinding and placement of ARHM over AC leveling course and ARAM (ARAM System III);
Approximately 0.2 centerline miles of partial grinding and placement of ARHM over ARAM (ARAM System IV);
Selective removal/reconstruction of deteriorated pavement and placement of asphalt concrete and Portland cement concrete pavement; Selective removal, repair, and reconstruction of approximately 14,500 linear feet of damaged and/or new curbs and gutters, and 53,000 square feet of sidewalks, driveways, cross gutters, alley aprons, and local depressions; Construction and modification of 62 curb ramps to meet ADA guidelines; Adjustment of existing manholes, utility valves, and water meters to finished grade;

Sanitary sewer point repairs, lining, and manhole shelf repair; Removal and replacement of existing traffic striping and pavement markings; and Selective street lighting improvements.
Sanitary Sewer Improvements
PWD Wastewater Maintenance Services field crew clean and inspect the city’s wastewater infrastructure on a rotational basis. As part of the cleaning process, the field crews report observed deficiencies, damages, and needed repairs to the Engineering Division. Public Works Engineering then evaluates the damage and existing conditions, identifies remedies, and prepares the plans and specification for these repairs for bid.
Sanitary sewer improvements as part of this project include repairs to the existing sewer infrastructures that are broken, damaged, and/or pose maintenance issues. The three typical sewer improvements as part of this project are as follows:
1. Point repairs consist of the removal of the surface pavement, excavation to the depth below the existing sewer pipe, performing a temporary sewer bypass, replacing the broken or damaged portion of sewer pipe with in-kind pipe size and material, trench backfill, and finally, trench resurfacing. This work is performed on the damaged portion of the sewer main line which cannot be repaired using trenchless methods.
2. Cured-in-Place-Pipe (CIPP) lining is a trenchless rehabilitation method and consists of installation of a resin liner that cures to create a hard structural finish inside a damaged pipe. CIPP lining can either be performed in short segments or on the entire sewer main between two manholes depending on the frequency of the existing cracks in the sewer main.
3. Reconstruction of sewer manhole concrete shelves consists of a temporary sewer bypass, removal and replacement of the deteriorated sewer manhole concrete base, and construction of a new sewer manhole shelf and channel.
Competitive Bidding Process
To ensure competitive bids, the city will advertise this project on multiple plan holders’ websites, which publish project bidding documents, distribute the information to their extensive network of contractors, and construction industry contacts.
This 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 October 2026 and is scheduled for completion by May 2027.

STAKEHOLDERS/OUTREACH
8,840 notifications were sent to property owners and occupants along the project limits notifying them of the in-person and virtual community meeting on January 22, 2026 at 6:00 p.m. The in-person and virtual community meeting was also broadcast on the city’s YouTube channel. During the meeting, the public was informed of the project details, construction schedule, future city and contractor notifications, and the impacts of the construction work in their neighborhood. Participants also had the opportunity to phone in and provide their comments and/or ask questions regarding the project.
Additionally, approximately one month before the commencement of construction, staff will prepare a notification postcard containing essential project details including a link to the project website. The postcard will be sent by mail to the residences and businesses that will be affected by the construction. Moreover, the contractor will be responsible for distributing door hangers to the affected addresses. The door hangers will be provided one week prior to the start of any construction activity within the project area.
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 between $11,000,000 and $12,000,000, which was not included as part of the FY 2025-26 budget. Therefore, staff will request appropriations from the Gas Tax Fund (4020) and the San Fernando Corridor Tax Share Fund (4100) at the time of the contract award based on the bids received.
