DATE: August 16, 2022
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Paul Cranmer, Public Works Services Director
By: Mohideen Buharie, Assistant Engineer
SUBJECT: CONTRACT WITH ONYX PAVING COMPANY, INC. FOR THE FISCAL
YEAR 2021-22 PAVEMENT REHABILITATION PROJECT IN THE
AMOUNT OF $1,727,000, WITH A 10% CONTINGENCY
Recommendation: Approve
SUMMARY
As part of the City of Arcadia’s (“City”) Capital Improvement Program (“CIP”), the Public
Works Services Department (“PWSD”) is preparing to rehabilitate the asphalt pavement
on various streets in the City. The streets were identified in the Pavement Management
Program as the streets that most need to be rehabilitated based on their usage and the
Pavement Condition Index (“PCI”). To ensure that the City is receiving the most
competitive prices and quality service for this work, the PWSD conducted a formal bid.
Onyx Paving Company, Inc. submitted the lowest responsive bid.
It is recommended that the City Council approve, authorize, and direct the City Manager
to execute a contract with Onyx Paving Company, Inc. for the Fiscal Year 2021-22
Pavement Rehabilitation Project in the amount of $1,727,000, with a 10% contingency.
BACKGROUND
The PWSD is responsible for the maintenance and repair of approximately 147 miles of
paved streets within the City. As part of the City’s Pavement Management Program, the
condition of all City streets was inspected and rated on a scale of 0-100, with scores
below 40 generally being considered a street that has failed. Scores between 40 and
60 are poor/fair in nature. This rating is called the Pavement Condition Index (“PCI”) and
it is used to help determine which streets require asphalt pavement rehabilitation.
According to the Citywide Pavement Management Program, the following street
segments are most in need of being repaved:
• Elevado Ave. from Grand View Ave. to Virginia Road - PCI of 43
• Ontare Rd. from Santa Anita Ave. to Cul-de-sac - PCI of 35
• Old Ranch Rd. from Colorado Blvd. to County Arboretum boundary - PCI of 43

• Wisteria Ave. from Holly Ave. to El Monte Ave. - PCI of 49
• Elkins Pl. from Elkins Ave. to Highland Oaks Dr. - PCI of 43
• Rosemarie Dr. west end of Rosemarie Dr. to Holly Ave. - PCI of 35
• Cortez Rd. from Balboa Dr. to Portola Dr. - PCI of 37
It should be noted that PCIs alone do not determine which streets should be repaved;
for instance, the City also takes into consideration streets that have high traffic volume.
It is also more cost-efficient to repave streets prior to their PCIs lowering to very poor
condition. The current range of PCI for the specified streets requires grind and overlay
rehabilitation, but if the PCI of these streets drop to a lower condition, they would
require more extensive rehabilitation such as full pavement reconstruction. Full
reconstruction costs are much higher than grind and overlay work. A copy of the
Project Location Map detailing the segments listed above is attached as Exhibit “A”.
DISCUSSION
The project involves the repair of any localized potholes and failed pavement, grinding
the edges of the pavement adjacent to the gutters to transition the new pavement to the
existing gutter, replacing broken curb and gutter as necessary, and installing new ADA-
compliant curb ramps at the intersections. The new pavement surface will utilize
recycled rubber in the pavement mix to help reduce future cracking and to add strength
to the asphalt pavement. The rubber in the pavement mixture also reduces road noise.
Following the repairs, the condition of these street sections will be raised to a PCI of
100.
A Notice Inviting Bids was published in the City’s adjudicated newspaper and bid
packages were provided to contractors that perform this type of work. On July 28,
2022, the City Clerk’s office received seven bids with the following results:
