DISCUSSION:
The City issued Granite the notice to proceed with construction on July 7, 2025, and construction on the project began on July 14, 2025, in portions of northeastern Goleta.
Granite has completed all work except for slurry seal treatment and striping on Hollister Avenue between Cath edral Oaks Road and Elderberry Drive, and microsurfacing treatment and striping on Storke Road from Hollister Avenue to Bollay Drive, and on Hollister Avenue from Camino Real Marketplace to Storke Road . This work is proposed in early 2026 when weather conditions meet minimum specifications.
Due to favorable bid results and increased project efficiencies, the City is able to expand the scope of this year’s paving program to include additional streets for paving . Table 2 shows the proposed additional streets. See Attachment 1 for an updated 202 5 Arterial Pavement Project Map with the proposed change order streets.
Table 2: Proposed Additional Streets for the 2025 Arterial Pavement Project Location
Additional
Streets
Pacific Oaks Road (Hollister Avenue to Phelps Road)
Calle Real (Salisbury Avenue to Rochester Way)
Verdura Avenue (Carlo Drive to Vega Drive)
Additional Storke Road Rehabilitation (Hollister Avenue to Bollay Drive) An increase in the contingency budget would be required to rehabilitate the three additional streets . When the project was awarded, staff requested a contingency of approximately 15% of the contract amount. Staff is requesting to increase the contingency budget to approximately 20 % of the original contract amount to rehabilitate the three additional streets.
