The Fullerton City Council is scheduled to award a $2.63 million construction contract for a major street rehabilitation project in the Sunny Hills, Twilight, and East Las Palmas neighborhoods during its June 2 meeting.
The item appears on the council’s consent calendar and would authorize a $2,629,464.70 contract with R. J. Noble Company of Orange, the lowest responsible bidder among nine contractors that submitted proposals for the project.

The Sunny Hills–Twilight–East Las Palmas Area Street Rehabilitation Project will rehabilitate approximately 2.8 miles of residential roadways and include repairs to deteriorated curbs, gutters, sidewalks, and driveway approaches, installation of Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) access ramps, sewer manhole upgrades, and localized sewer system repairs.

According to city staff, the streets were scheduled for rehabilitation following the completion of a recent water main replacement project in the area. Officials report that pavement conditions throughout the project area are generally poor, with some sections showing significant deterioration.

The project will use an asphalt concrete grind-and-overlay method, which staff selected after evaluating pavement conditions, traffic volumes, existing roadway structure, construction logistics, and available funding. Upon completion, the affected streets are expected to achieve a Pavement Condition Index (PCI) score of 100, indicating very good condition.

Funding for the project will come from a combination of road maintenance, sewer, drainage, and interagency reimbursement sources. To fully fund the project, staff is recommending several budget transfers and appropriations, including $2.329 million from the Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account (RMRA) and Senate Bill 1 transportation funds, $555,000 from the Sewer Enterprise Fund, and $8,000 from drainage capital funds.
An additional $63,000 in revenue and expenditure appropriations will be added to the project budget to account for reimbursement from the City of La Habra.

Part of the project area extends into La Habra city limits. In May, the Fullerton City Council approved a cooperative agreement designating Fullerton as the lead agency for the project. Under the agreement, Fullerton will oversee construction work within both cities, while La Habra will reimburse Fullerton for improvements completed within its jurisdiction.

The engineer’s estimate for the project was approximately $2.84 million. R. J. Noble Company’s bid came in roughly 7.5 percent below that estimate, which staff determined to be responsive and acceptable.

If approved, construction is expected to begin in July and continue through October 2026. City staff plans to notify affected residents and businesses before work begins and provide information regarding construction schedules and anticipated impacts.

The project has been reviewed under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and determined to be categorically exempt from further environmental review.

Because the item is listed on the June 2 consent calendar, it may be approved without discussion unless a council member requests that it be pulled for separate consideration.
