2021 Street Rehabilitation Project

May 2021 Update :

The City advertised and awarded the $3.3 million 2021 Street Improvement Project in February 2021, and to our delight, the low bid received was significantly under the original engineers estimate.   After the bid opening the City immediately began working with the State of California Housing and Community Development (HCD)  on expanding the scope of work to include areas that were not in the original eligible census tracts.  

The City was able to expand to other areas of the City because after the 2020 CDBG NOFA was released, the City completed a citywide income survey to determine low/moderate income (LMI) percentage for the entire City.  The results of the survey determined that approximately 73.58 percent of the Shasta Lake population are considered LMI, therefore the  entire City qualifies for Low Moderate Area (LMA) allowing the City to apply and receive CDBG funds citywide, not just eligible census tracts.   The City submitted a revised scope of work along with the income survey to HCD in March 2021, and received final approval in May 2021.

The following map contains the final scope of work for the 2021 Street Rehabilitation Project.  The City is pleased to expand the project.   This project is the largest street rehabilitation project the City has undertaken, and is 100% funded with grant dollars.  For more information regarding this project, please contact our City Engineer, Jeff Tedder at 530-275-7400.
