SUBJECT:2026/27 COLLECTOR STREET PAVEMENT IMPROVEMENTS (STATE AVE)
COUNCIL ACTION FORM
BACKGROUND:
The Collector Street Pavement Improvements Program is an annual program for the
reconstruction or rehabilitation of concrete streets in the Capital Improvement Plan (CIP). The
2026/27 program location is State Avenue from Mortensen Road to Arbor Street. State
Avenue is anticipated to undergo full-depth concrete replacement with curb and gutter.
Storm water will be directed to the ditches along State Avenue with curb cuts or let-down
structures. Additionally, a concrete shared-use path will be constructed along the west side of
State Avenue within the existing right of way. The shared-use path will be separated from
State Avenue and built west of the roadway ditch.
The reconstruction of State Avenue was prioritized to address roadway needs prior to
the completion of Fire Station #2. The project was moved up during the CIP
development to be completed during 2027.
Staff initiated a Request for Proposals (RFP) process for professional services for the design
and development of plans and specifications for the project. Proposals for this work were
received from 11 engineering firms on May 29, 2026. The proposals were evaluated on their
qualifications according to the following criteria: Project Understanding, Project Approach,
Design Team/Key Personnel, Previous Experience, and Cost.
The evaluation scores are as follows:
