BACKGROUND
The Residential Street Rehabilitation Program is an ongoing CIP established to complete the regular resurfacing and repair of residential streets. The cyclical implementation of the program increases the life of the existing pavement and improves the ride of the streets. This program supports the City’s Strategic Plan Goal 3.1 to Rehabilitate City Roads and Critical Public Facilities.
The City is required to conduct a pavement condition survey every three years in order to meet the reporting requirements of GASB 34 and to qualify for use of Proposition C and Measure R Local Return funding for the rehabilitation of City streets. In 2020, streets were surveyed Citywide. On September 15, 2020, the City Council discussed the City of Redondo Beach 2020 Pavement Management System (PMS) Report and approved the residential streets that were recommended to be treated over the next few years to meet the City Council’s goal. The Project includes the streets selected for the final year of the 2020 PMS report. Funding for the 2020 report year-three streets (now known as Project Cycle 5, Phase 2) was first appropriated in FY 2023 to begin the project design process.
To minimize construction costs and disruption to residents, additional projects that were funded as part of the FY 2024-25 CIP, are near the selected residential streets, and/or require the same rehabilitation methods, have been added to the Project plans. These include the deferred maintenance streets identified in Districts 3 and 4, the portion of Emerald Street between Prospect Avenue and North Juanita Avenue, bulb-outs on Emerald Street at Irena Avenue and at Juanita Avenue, median island improvements at the intersection of Ripley, Huntington, and Perkins Lanes, Lilienthal Lane Improvements from Ripley Lane to Ives Lane, the portion of North Juanita Avenue between Emerald Street and Spencer Street, the alley east of Maria Ave between Del Amo Street and Diamond Street, and the alleys north of 190th Street and adjacent to Firmona Ave. A map of streets included in the Project is attached to this report.
On September 2, 2025, the City Council approved plans and specifications for the Project and authorized competitive bidding. Subsequently, eight bids were received and publicly opened in the City Clerk’s Office on April 8, 2026. After reviewing the bids, CalMex Engineering, Inc., with a bid of $3,477,163.25 was found to be the lowest responsible bidder with the lowest responsive bid.
If awarded, Project construction is expected to begin in June 2026 and be completed within 100 working days.
