New Chicago Avenue Resurfacing Project

The County of Riverside Transportation Department is undertaking the resurfacing of approximately 1,350 feet of New Chicago Avenue, stretching from East Florida Avenue/State Highway 74 to Lincoln Avenue, within the community of Valle Vista. This project involves full removal of the existing asphalt pavement and reconstruction with hot mix asphalt, along with the rebuilding of asphalt dikes, concrete cross gutters, and spandrels to restore the road’s structural integrity. Additional work includes relocating existing utilities, restriping the roadway with new pavement markers and reflectors, removing and replacing traffic signs, and reinstalling traffic inductive loop detectors. The road, classified as a Local Road under the County’s General Plan, is currently two lanes wide with widths ranging from 27 to 53.5 feet and is being improved within its existing footprint without any right-of-way acquisition. The project is exempt from full environmental review under CEQA Section 15301(c) as it constitutes maintenance of an existing facility and is covered under the Western Riverside County Multiple Species Habitat Conservation Plan, with mandatory migratory bird nesting surveys required between February 1 and September 1. All work must comply with County transportation standards and engineering practices. The project is administered via internal work orders, including ZD10066C and ZD50060C, with funding traced to an ACRN of 537280-20000-3130500000 and processed through a journal voucher system rather than formal federal or state procurement mechanisms. There is no publicly listed contract value, solicitation number, or formal bidding process documented, and no contract clauses, evaluation factors, or offeror certifications are included in the materials. Payment and oversight are handled internally, with Lisa Ann Wadley serving as the Contracting Officer’s Representative and Frances Segovia as the primary point of contact for project planning. Proposals are to be mailed to Mail Stop #2136, Attention: Lisa Wadley, though no submission deadline or formal proposal requirements such as format, page limits, or electronic portal instructions are specified. The project is forecasted as active with a posted date of November 18, 2025, but no period of performance, delivery schedule, FOB terms, or contract type are defined in the documentation.
