6. Discussion and Background
The Main Street Slurry Seal and Resurfacing Project is designed to upgrade the pavement on Main Street from Memory Lane to the northern City of Santa Ana city limit and approximately 250 feet of Town and Country east of Main Street. Main Street is an existing six-lane major arterial located on the border of the City of Orange and City of Santa Ana, lying partially in Orange and partially in Santa Ana. Project improvements include grinding localized areas of the existing asphalt concrete pavement and repaving the street with asphalt concrete base course, applying a slurry seal over the entire project area, adjusting surface utility covers, replacing traffic loop detectors, traffic striping, curb and gutter, and ADA ramps.
The City of Orange was approached by the City of Santa Ana to enter into this cooperative agreement to ensure project continuity, as the project lies within the limits of both jurisdictions. The project design was prepared and completed by the City of Santa Ana and reviewed by Public Works staff prior to advertisement for construction.
On June 26, 2025, the City of Santa Ana received the project bids. The lowest bidder was All American Asphalt, at a total bid of $792,572.50. The City of Santa Ana will pay for approximately 89% of the project cost, with the remaining 11% to be paid by the City of Orange. Staff recommends that the City Council approve the Cooperative Agreement with the City of Santa Ana.
