CORPUS CHRISTI – Corpus Christi Mayor Joe McComb and the City Council awarded a $5.5 million contract for five residential streets to A. Ortiz Construction & Paving as part of the Residential Street Rebuild Program (RSRP).

The Residential Street Rebuild Program repairs select citywide, residential streets by extending the life and structural integrity of the existing pavements through rehabilitation or the replacing of failed pavement through reconstruction of the pavement to current City standards. The program also includes sidewalk repairs, ADA compliant curb ramps, and new striping and pavement markings. 

Funding for these projects was provided by Bond 2018 and Bond 2016. In May 2020, the City Council awarded $13.7 million in construction contracts as part of this program.
