RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Recommendation
Adopt a resolution authorizing the Public Works Director to conduct in-house paving operations on behalf of the City and determining that the actions authorized by this resolution are exempt from CEQA.
Body
DISCUSSION:
The City roadway system is an essential component of the infrastructure the community depends on. Street repair work is consistently identified as a high priority through both community surveys responses and established City Council budget focus areas.
To maintain the street network, the City carries out paving work through two primary approaches:
• Capital Improvement Program (CIP): Projects are designed by the engineering team and then put out for bid to hire contractors to complete the construction work.
• City Operations Crews: The City has a skilled in-house paving crew that handles street maintenance such as grind-and-overlay.
Together, these efforts provide repair, maintenance, and construction services for the City’s road network. In 2025 approximately 41 lane miles of roadway were repaved and resurfaced. This work improved the City’s average pavement condition index rating for the overall network to 66. This rating is designated as an overall “fair” condition and just above the state average rating of 65.
Streets that have ratings in the mid to low 60’s are at risk of deteriorating rapidly because cracks and surface voids allow water to seep into the subgrade while vehicle traffic quickly degrades weakened areas. As roads deteriorate, repairs become more expensive. Continuing to invest in street maintenance to elevate conditions will improve durability, reduce the long-term investments in the roadway system, and better serve the community.
As outlined within the City Charter, the City Council may provide for City crews to complete large scale paving projects after the work is placed out to bid and it is determined that the City crew is more cost effective or if no bids are received. The paving work by the City crews is very cost-effective and is completed at a lower cost than past construction contracts have offered.
In December 2025, the Public Works Department issued a formal invitation for bids for Citywide Paving Services projects. The notice was posted for five consecutive days near the Council Chamber as required by the City Charter. The following streets were included in the project:
• Redwood Road (Carol Drive to Dry Creek Road)
• El Centro Avenue (Jefferson Street to City limits)
• Solano Avenue (Luke Drive to Orchard Avenue)
• Thompson Avenue (Browns Valley Road to City limits)
• West Lincoln Avenue (Solano Avenue to Lone Oak Drive)
• Linda Vista Avenue (Redwood Road to Lone Oak Drive)
• Buhman Avenue (Browns Valley Road to City limits)
• Partrick Road (Browns Valley Road (BVR west to east))
• Pear Tree Lane (Beard Road to Soscol Avenue)
• East Avenue (Silverado Trail to Clark Street)
• South Jefferson Street (Imola Avenue to End)
• Main Street (Fifth Street to Third Street)
• Imola Avenue East (Soscol Avenue to City limits)
• Napa Corporate Way (HW221 to Napa Corporate Drive)
• Napa Corporate Drive (City limits to Kaiser Road)
• Third Street (Seymour Street to End)
• Terrace Drive (Shurtleff Avenue to Coombsville Road)
• Shurtleff Avenue (Imola Avenue East to Peppergrass Street)
• Howard Lane (HW29 to End)
• Imperial Way (Soscol Avenue to Jordan Lane)
• Jordan Lane (Imperial Way to Lincoln Avenue)
• North Bay Drive (Wall Street to Jordan Lane)
• Wall Street (North Bay Drive to End)
• Old Sonoma Road (Oran Court to Walnut Street)
• Oran Court (Old Sonoma Road to Von Brandt Street)
• Von Brandt Street (Oran Court to End)
• Griggs Lane (Laurel Street to End)
• Gesford Street (Old Sonoma Road to End)
• Oak Street (California Boulevard to Montgomery Street)
• Montgomery Street (Third Street to Oak Street)
• Montgomery Street (Laurel Street to Pine Street)
• Seymour Street (Third Street to Oak Street)
• Monroe Street (Laurel Street to Pine Street)
• Monroe Street (Pine Street to End)
• Pine Street (Walnut Street to Jefferson Street)
• California Boulevard (Second Street to Laurel Street)
• Oak Street (California Boulevard to End)
• Stockton Street (California Boulevard to End)
• Laurel Street (California Boulevard to End)
No bids were submitted for the project. Staff recommend that the City Council authorize in-house City crews to complete the work for the Citywide Paving Services projects. Work is expected to begin by early April and continue through October, weather permitting. This list of projects is ambitious to complete in a single year and will likely extend to 2027. In 2025, City crews completed the entire list of streets approved by the City Council. To provide flexibility, a larger number of street segments were included for the upcoming year in case any scheduling conflicts arise within a project area or an extended dry, warm season allows paving work to continue later in the year.
FINANCIAL IMPACTS:
There is no additional funding required for the proposed action. Funding for the proposed work is available in the Paving Program’s (30230810) Budget.
CEQA:
City Staff recommends that the City Council determine that the Recommended Action is exempt from CEQA pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15301(c) which exempts the repair or minor alteration of existing streets, sidewalks, gutters, and similar facilities.
