PREVIOUS RELATED ACTION:
On January 5, 2026, City Council adopted Resolution No. 2026-01 to amend the FY 2025-26 CIP Budget by creating a new project “Complete Streets Quick-Build Park Avenue and Orange Grove Avenue,” Project No. 428-68601, accepting SCAG grant funds in the amount of $151,671 and appropriating those funds to the Project.
On May 26, 2026, during a Special Meeting, City Council adopted the FY 2026-27 CIP Budget, appropriating $163,677 from the Cannabis Community Benefit Fund (Stiiizy) to the Project, effective July 1, 2026.
DISCUSSION:
The “Complete Streets Quick Build – Park Avenue and Orange Grove Avenue,” Project No. 68601, will implement improvements to enhance safety and mobility for pedestrians, bicyclists, and motorists along the project corridor. The Park Avenue and Orange Grove Avenue corridors were identified as priority locations for quick build interventions due to documented safety concerns, high pedestrian activity, and its role as connectors between residential neighborhoods, schools, parks, and commercial areas. The particular details of the Park Avenue and Orange Grove Avenue Project were subject to a robust public outreach process from general community meetings to focused stakeholder discussions. Quick-build projects use materials such as pavement markings, delineators, curb extensions, and other traffic-calming elements to improve roadway safety.
In January 2026, City Council approved the creation of a new CIP Project and adopted Resolution No. 2026-01 to accept and appropriate SCAG grant award funds of $151,671 into the FY 2025-26 CIP Budget. Subsequently, SCAG amended the grant award, increasing the total funding to $193,307 (Attachment No. 3). Accordingly, the recommended FY 2026-27 CIP Budget amendment includes an additional increase in revenue estimates and appropriation of $41,636 to fully reflect the updated grant award. While the increased SCAG funding offsets a portion of the project costs, additional local funding is needed to fully fund construction and project contingency. Staff recommends appropriating $295,375 from the Cannabis Community Benefit Fund (Stiiizy). The proposed use of these funds is consistent with the purpose of the fund by investing in public infrastructure improvements that enhance neighborhood safety, accessibility, and quality of life. The Project will provide community benefits through improved pedestrian crossings, traffic-calming features, bicycle facilities, and other roadway enhancements designed to create a safer and more comfortable environment for all users.
The recommendation for award of a construction contract to Pavement Coatings Co. was conducted in accordance with the City’s Purchasing Ordinance. On June 15, 2026, the City issued an Invitation for Bids - IFB# 2026-25 “[Construction] Complete Streets Quick-Build - Park Avenue and Orange Grove Avenue.” The solicitation was sent to 828 potential bidders, with 57 firms downloading the IFB, resulting in the City receiving two proposals when the bidding period closed on July 9, 2026.
