FOR THE FISCAL YEAR 2025-26 ANNUAL SLURRY SEAL PROJECT IN THE AMOUNT OF $754,125 CEQA: Exempt Recommendation: Approve SUMMARY As part of the City’s annual Asphalt and Concrete Program, the Public Works Services Department (“PWSD”) is preparing to slurry seal various residential streets within Arcadia. The proposed area can generally be described as the residential neighborhoods in the northwest corner of the City (within City Council District 2). To ensure that the City is receiving the most competitive price and quality service for this work, the PWSD conducted a formal bid process, and Mission Paving and Sealing, 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 Mission Paving and Sealing, Inc. for the Fiscal Year 2025-26 Annual Slurry Seal Project, in the amount of $754,125, with a 10% contingency. BACKGROUND The PWSD is responsible for the maintenance and repair of approximately 147 miles of roadway within the City. The 2021 Pavement Management Program update assessed the condition of all City streets and assigned a numerical index between 0 and 100, which is used to indicate the general condition of pavement. The annual Slurry Seal Maintenance Program assists in extending the useful life of the pavement Award Annual Slurry Seal Project June 16, 2026 Page 2 of 3 and improves the overall appearance and safety of City streets. This program provides surface maintenance for all City streets and divides Arcadia into eight zones, with one zone being addressed each year as part of an eight-year cycle. Updates to the plan are conducted regularly to ensure that the program is effective and to identify street segments with unusual wear and tear. DISCUSSION The Fiscal Year 2025-26 Annual Slurry Seal Project will address approximately 16.5 miles of residential and arterial streets, as shown on the attached Project Location Map (Exhibit “A”). The project area includes streets north of the 210 Foothill Freeway from the west City Limits to Santa Anita Avenue. The work includes crack sealing, the application of an emulsified asphalt and sand coating, commonly referred to as slurry, and the re-striping of street centerlines, stop bars, and other safety striping. This process protects the asphalt pavement surface from weather, restores skid resistance, and provides an aesthetic improvement to the roadway. Unlike pavement rehabilitation projects, recycled rubber mix is not used for slurry sealing of streets due to the significantly higher cost of the material. It has also been determined that the emulsified asphalt sand coating material provides a strong barrier for several years and is best used on street sections with a higher Pavement Condition Index (“PCI”). Streets with low PCIs require more extensive rehabilitation, such as full pavement reconstruction. A Notice Inviting Bids was published in accordance with City Council Resolution No. 7483, and bid packages were provided to contractors that perform this type of work. On April 28, 2026, the City received seven sealed bids with the following results: Rank Firm Location Base Bid 1. Mission Paving and Sealing, Inc. Irwindale $754,125.00 2. American Asphalt South, Inc Riverside $784,195.85 3. Roy Allan Slurry Seal Inc. Sante Fe Springs $784,434.75 4. Pavement Coatings Co. Jurupa Valley $821,540.00 5. All American Asphalt Corona $827,730.00 6. Union Pavement Services, Inc. Jurupa Valley $894,470.00 7. Doug Martin Contracting Co., Inc. La Habra $915,509.00 Award Annual Slurry Seal Project June 16, 2026 Page 3 of 3 Bid documents were reviewed for content and the contractors’ background and recent projects were investigated. Based on this review, it has been determined that Mission Paving and Sealing, Inc. is the lowest responsive bidder for this work. Mission Paving and Sealing, Inc. has successfully completed similar work within budget for Arcadia as well as the Cities of Los Angeles, Seal Beach, Costa Mesa, Santa Ana, Murrieta, and Woodland Hills. ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS This project is considered a Class 1 exemption as defined in Section 15301(c) of the California Environmental Quality Act, since the project consists of the maintenance of existing public streets and does not involve expansion of the existing use. FISCAL IMPACT Funds in the amount of $1,350,000 have been budgeted in the Fiscal Year 2025-26 Capital Improvement Program for the Annual Slurry Seal Program. The total cost for this Project is $754,125, and a 10% construction contingency would bring the total cost to $829,537.50, which is within the adopted budget. RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the City Council determine that this project is a Class 1 exemption under the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”); and approve, authorize, and direct the City Manager to execute a contract with Mission Paving and Sealing, Inc. for the Fiscal Year 2025-26 Annual Slurry Seal Project in the amount of $754,125, with a 10% contingency.
