RECOMMENDATION
Adopt Resolution Number 25-4352 approving the Plans and Specifications for the Measure-T Fiscal Year 2025 project titled Street Measure-T Washington Street Pavement Rehabilitation, Project No. MT-3026, and authorizing staff to solicit bids for the project.
DISCUSSION/BACKGROUND
In November 2012, the voters of Napa County approved a ½-cent sales tax known as Measure-T, implemented July 1, 2018, to be used for maintenance, reconstruction, and/or rehabilitation of streets, sidewalks, and transportation infrastructure within the public right-of-way. At the December 7, 2021, Town Council meeting, Town Council adopted the 2022-2027 Measure-T 5-Year plan.
Up next for paving is Washington Street north from Yount Street to the north Town Limits and Webber Avenue from the Vine Trail connection to Yount Street. This is the MT 3026 Washington Street Rehabilitation project and will be one of the last projects to use Measure T funds. On November 5, 2024, the voters of Napa County approved a ½-cent sales Napa Valley Transportation Improvement Act, also known as Measure U, which continues a half cent transaction and use (sales) tax to provide supplemental funding for road previously known as Measure T.
The MT 3026 Washington Street Rehabilitation project is budgeted in the upcoming Capital Improvement Plan with MT-3026, as part of the Annual Street Maintenance and Paving Program which includes the rehabilitation of Washington Street and Webber Avenue. The current budget in the Measure T Fund for the project is $931,251.
The project site was determined through annual pavement condition inspections and coordination with upcoming projects to enhance the Washington Street corridor and improve mobility along in town including at the connection points to the Vine Trail on Webber Avenue. The Town contracted Pavement Engineering Inc. (PEI) to provide a design review for the MT 3026 Washington Street Rehabilitation project, approved by council on the February 18, 2025 council meeting. Construction plans and specifications were completed in May 2025.
The project consists of the rehabilitation in the form of grind and overlay on Washington Street and Webber Avenue with stamped brick pattern at crosswalks and on a pedestrian/ bicycle path on Webber Avenue. Town staff is anticipating the project construction to begin early Summer 2025 on a maximum 60-day work schedule, weather permitting.
