Old Santa Monica pavements should get some attention tonight, with City Hall expected to purchase $265,000 worth of cement concrete for repairs from Standard Concrete Products, Inc.

The Street Maintenance Division of Environmental and Public Works Management Department expects to use the cement to repair sidewalks, driveways, curbs, gutters, additional emergency demands and the City’s alley revitalization projects. Half of the cement is estimated to be used for regular maintenance work, while the other half will go towards the alley projects, according to a city staff report.

Located in Santa Monica, Standard Concrete Products, Inc. receives a 1-percent bidding preference in the selection process for providers.
