City Council - 9/16/25 - Agenda Item N2 - Award Mandalay Bay Seawalls West Hemlock Seawall Repairs

The City of Oxnard City Council approved the award of a public project agreement to Joe Heavy Construction Inc. for the Mandalay Bay Seawalls West Hemlock Street seawall repairs project. The contract value is approximately $2.43 million, with a total project budget of $2.59 million including contingency and engineering, inspection, survey, and project management costs. The project involves rehabilitating a 370-foot section of seawall identified by a marine engineering consultant to maintain structural integrity and extend its useful life. This repair effort also serves as a pilot program to test new repair methods and best management practices. The project is scheduled to begin in fall 2025, with community engagement planned to keep residents informed. Due to budget overruns of about $397,563, staff recommended reallocating funds from a related seawall footing project to cover the shortfall, minimizing impact on the overall seawall repair program.
