Construction Timeline
Work on the project began with curb ramp and weed-spraying work on June 1, 2026. We expect pavement grinding work to begin on June 8, with pavement work to begin on June 9. We expect to complete the final tasks (utility work and striping) in mid-August. However, weather conditions (temperatures, wind, humidity, etc.) and any other unplanned logistical challenges can delay the expected schedule.
Construction crews will post signs and door hangers at least 3-5 days prior to any grinding, paving, or slurry activity.
Which Streets Are Included?
Streets for the 2026 Pavement Rehabilitation Project were selected based on pavement conditions, rather than targeting entire specific neighborhoods. Thus, the streets to be resurfaced in 2026 are scattered throughout Moorpark.
Portions of the following streets will be rehabilitated as part of the 2026 Pavement Rehabilitation Project (see link above to see the portions).

How Are Streets Selected?
The City commissioned a Pavement Analysis Report from IMS Infrastructure Management Services, who drove a truck with downward-facing lasers on every City-maintained street in Moorpark to identify pavement conditions and microfractures in the roadway that cannot be seen by a human eye. IMS then assigns a Pavement Condition Index (PCI) score for every roadway segment on a scale of 0 to 100. PCI scores correspond to the following:
| Category | PCI Range | Description |
| Excellent | 85-100 | Like new condition. Requires little to no maintenance. |
| Very Good | 70-85 | Minor cracking, raveling, and other non-load associated distress. Requires routine or preventive maintenance. |
| Good | 60-70 | Minor to moderate cracking and low severity load associated distresses such as alligator cracking and rutting. Requires surface treatments with localized repairs and overlays. |
| Fair | 50-60 | More extensive and severe longitudinal and transverse cracking, as well as moderate severity load associated distresses. Requires localized repairs or major rehabilitation. |
| Marginal | 40-50 | Localized high-severity alligator cracking and rutting. Requires major rehabilitation. |
| Poor | 25-40 | A greater extent of severe alligator cracking and rutting. Requires major rehabilitation. |
| Very Poor | 0-25 | Extensive and severe alligator cracking, more extensive and deeper rutting, and potholes. Requires major rehabilitation. |
Prior to the 2026 Pavement Rehabilitation Project, the Citywide average PCI score was 68 ("Good" condition).
Selecting streets to rehabilitate is not as simple as just identifying the lowest-scoring streets. When selecting which streets to work on, City officials must decide between slurry projects (resurfacing) or major rehabilitation (full repaving, including the roadway base). Slurry projects cost only 10-15% compared to major rehabilitation projects. However, slurry projects can only be applied when the roadway is in good (or better) condition. Long-term, the most cost-effective approach is to slurry roadways before they become too distressed to be eligible. The 2026 Pavement Rehabilitation Project includes both slurrying and major rehabilitation, but is mostly slurrying.
2026 Pavement Rehabilitation Project Cost
The construction contract for the City's 2026 Pavement Rehabilitation Project is a low-bid contract. Plans and specifications for the project were approved by the City Council on February 18, 2026. Bids were opened on March 26, 2026, with bids coming in between $2,429,654 and $3,353,717.
The City Council awarded the construction contract to Pavement Coatings Co. on April 15, 2026. Including a 10% project contingency and associated inspection and construction management services, the total estimated cost of the 2026 Pavement Rehabilitation Project is $2,953,920.
The City receives between $800,000 and $950,000 annually in SB 1 gasoline taxes, depending on gasoline prices and economic conditions. These funds can only be used for street and road maintenance, such as pavement rehabilitation. In addition to these funds, the City can utilize its General Fund revenues for pavement rehabilitation. However, the General Fund also funds other things such as parks and recreation programming, law enforcement, the Active Adult Center, and other core services.
Status of the 2027 Pavement Rehabilitation Project
Even before the 2026 Pavement Rehabilitation Project has been completed, City staff is in the process of soliciting bids for another Pavement Analysis Report to be completed following the 2026 project. The City issued a Request for Proposals for an updated Pavement Analysis Report on September 3, 2026, with proposals due on October 1, 2026.
Once updated PCI scores are calculated, selection of streets to be rehabilitated in 2027 can be completed.
