Council approves $145,000 change order and $24,000 construction-engineering contract for local-road work
Summary
The council awarded a $145,000 change order to T & M Asphalt Paving and a $24,000 construction-engineering proposal to Hubbell, Roth & Clark to add road repairs to the 2025 local-road program, including work on Manistee and Gibson Drive.
The Wixom City Council approved a $145,000 change order to T & M Asphalt Paving Inc. for additional repairs under the 2025 local-road program and accepted a $24,000 proposal from Hubbell, Roth & Clark (HRC) for construction engineering services.
Public works staff said the additional work will address repairs on Manistee Avenue near the airline-trail crossing and on Gibson Drive, where a temporary gate and an emergency-vehicle easement have been added to allow alternate access while Pontiac Trail is closed later in July for an expected 6-to-8-week closure. "One of them is the Manistee... and the second one is Gibson Drive," Public Works staff member Mister Sikma said, noting that Gibson Drive work will include a temporary drive to maintain emergency access.
Staff also said the airline-trail crossing at ASD Street will be smoothed to eliminate a bumpy crossing and that the engineering scope for Gibson Drive is expected to be minimal, primarily inspection and a temporary driveway. Councillors asked that affected businesses (Country Corners) be notified once the construction schedule is finalized; staff said notification will occur after the schedule is set.
Vote: The change order and engineering contract were approved by voice vote. Funds will come from the local-road construction account (203-554-971.399) and the construction-engineering account (203-554-960.391).
