# Public Works & Transportation Committee Meeting - 11/10/2026

The City of Oxnard Public Works & Transportation Committee met on November 10, 2026. It approved the minutes of four prior meetings 3–0 and recommended that the City Council approve a first amendment to agreement 32600301 with North Hills Recycling. The amendment adds $650,000, bringing the not-to-exceed amount to $870,000, for engineered wood fiber, mulch, and bark purchases, delivery, and installation. Staff said the expanded amount will cover use by Parks in addition to special districts; playground wood fiber must meet an impact-attenuation standard. The Public Works Director clarified that the agreement uses purchase orders, not task orders, and that the staff report would be corrected. The committee’s recommendation passed 3–0.

The committee also recommended approval of agreement 32700243 with Pavico Construction for asphalt repairs at multiple locations, principally permanent paving after water-utility work. The stated contract amount was $246,008.47, with a $24,006.85 contingency and a not-to-exceed amount of $271,005.32; a further $12,003.42 was identified for engineering, inspection, survey, and project management. Staff noted a square-footage error in the report and said it would be corrected to match the contract exhibit. They explained that repair sites are grouped for bidding and economies of scale. This recommendation also passed 3–0. Public commenters raised concerns about recycled-water spending and street maintenance, but no related spending action was taken at this meeting.
