The scope of work includes clearing, full concrete and asphalt construction, crack sealing, overlays, traffic striping, utility adjustments, and traffic control. The project will be funded through the RMRA/SB1 and Gas Tax budgets.
Background
As part of the City’s commitment to maintaining its streets, a Pavement Management Analysis (PMA) was conducted on November 24, 2021, to assess the Remaining Service Life (RSL) of all public streets. Based on this analysis, City staff developed a list of 35 locations, considering factors such as pavement condition, available funding, community input (via CRM), and coordination with planned infrastructure projects.
On June 26, 2024, the Mayor and the City Council approved Resolution No. 2024-142 of the Operating Budget of the CIP 2025-2029, which included the 35 locations list.
From this list, 14 locations have been selected for inclusion in the annual Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Program (RMRA)/SB1.
On July 3, 2024, the Mayor and City Council adopted Resolution No. 2024-146, authorizing the Director of Finance to amend the FY 2024/25 Capital Improvement Plan. This amendment includes supplemental appropriations of $5,787,126.00 from the SB1 Fund and $1,355,877.50 from the Gas Tax Fund, totaling an additional appropriation of $7,143,003.50 for the Street Rehabilitation – 14 Locations (Project No. 13630).
On December 19, 2024, Hilltop Geotechnical, Inc. issued a Pavement Design Report for the fourteen locations, which included a comprehensive pavement evaluation. The evaluation involved the exploration of both surface and subsurface conditions of the streets, conducted between November 6 and November 8, 2024.
On May 7, 2025, the Mayor and City Council awarded a Construction Agreement to Matich Corporation, in the amount of $4,750,755.00 for Pavement Rehabilitation at fourteen locations (Project).
The project includes the following locations:
• North Mayfield Avenue from West 8th Street to 10th Street (Ward 1) • North Western Avenue from 8th Street to Union Street (Ward 1) • East Gilbert Street from North Waterman Avenue to Canyon Road (to the Bridge) (Ward 2)

A Construction Agreement with Matich Corporation was awarded at the May 7, 2025, Mayor and City Council Meeting. Following the meeting, staff were informed that a City Council Member resides on one of the streets designated for improvements.
Out of an abundance of caution, it is recommended that the approval of the construction agreement be rescinded and reconsidered for approval, with the Council Member residing on one of the designated streets recusing themselves from voting on the matter.
