Fraser — The Fraser City Council on Monday passed Resolution 2025‑013 authorizing the city manager to execute MDOT contract 25‑5205 for Klein Road resurfacing between Utica and Garfield.

The item authorizes the city manager to enter into the agreement after MDOT opened bids and awarded the work to the low bidder. The low bid was $453,975.64; staff corrected a packet typo and said the city’s share is 18.15 percent, which comes to just under $150,000 — the amount the city had budgeted for the work.

Council Member Shornack asked whether the resurfacing would overlap other nearby projects; staff said MDOT and the city have attempted coordination but final contractor scheduling was not yet available. The council approved the resolution and authorized the city manager to sign the MDOT agreement.

Why it matters: The resurfacing is an MDOT‑led project with a local cost share; council approval allows the city manager to finalize the contract and schedule work.

What’s next: The city manager will sign the agreement and MDOT will schedule the resurfacing; staff said they will monitor contractor timing to reduce overlap with other nearby road work and school schedules.
