Repaving Set for DeAnza Street, Jurupa, Hidalgo Avenues

REDLANDS>> Street improvements are scheduled to begin on three residential streets – De Anza Street, Jurupa Avenue and Hidalgo Avenue – beginning Feb. 2, part of the City’s PARIS street resurfacing program. As pulverizing is scheduled to begin on all three streets Thursday, Feb. 2., parking will not be allowed on these streets between the hours of 7 a.m. and 4 p.m. Paving will take place beginning a week later on Monday, Feb. 9. No vehicular access will be permitted during the paving, which will take place between 7 a.m. and 4 p.m. Notices were hand delivered to all affected residences this week. No parking signs will be posted on the streets 48 hours in advance of construction. The contractor, Matich Corp., of San Bernardino, was awarded a contract in the amount of $8,739,532 on Sept. 20, 2016, for the PARIS 2015 Resurfacing Project and no General Fund dollars are used to fund this project. The project is designed and managed by the City’s Municipal Utilities and Engineering Department. The road work is part of the city’s street resurfacing program, the Pavement Management Program (PMP), adopted by the City Council in March 2012 and the Pavement Accelerated Repair Implementation Strategy (PARIS), approved by the City Council in September 2012. The PMP and PARIS together form a comprehensive infrastructure approach to address the city’s surface street rehabilitation, repair and maintenance needs. When fully implemented, the program will result in rehabilitation and repair of two-thirds of the city’s street infrastructure over a five-year period. The current 6-month phase of the project will include resurfacing of approximately 90 lane miles of streets throughout the city. Upon completion, the city will have completed nearly 200 miles of lane resurfacing, or approximately, 48 percent of the total PARIS project. Street paving work is coordinated with necessary water and sewer pipeline replacement to ensure more efficient use of city funds and resources and to extend the life of the pavement surface. The Pavement Management Program and PARIS projects will create approximately 1,100 jobs. All contractors, subcontractors, suppliers and professionals are required to carry a City of Redlands business license at each phase of the project.
