Council approves $29,375 riprap stabilization for 7 Mile Creek tributary on Center Drive
Summary
The council accepted a contractor quote to place 235 tons of riprap at $125 per ton—total $29,375—to armor the outfall and banks of a Center Drive box culvert on a tributary of 7 Mile Creek; motion passed by roll call.
The Lansing City Council voted unanimously to accept a price quote from Linah Weaver Construction to install riprap bank stabilization along a tributary of 7 Mile Creek at the Center Drive box culvert.
Staff told the council the contractor is mobilized on the Center Drive sewer project and that adding soil stabilization and riprap at the outfall and along the stream bank will slow channel degradation. The accepted quote was $125 per ton for 235 tons installed riprap, for a total contract amount of $29,375.
Council members asked questions and visited the site; a council member thanked staff for arranging a site visit to address concerns. The motion to accept the quote was moved and seconded and passed by roll call with all members voting yes.
The motion authorizes the installation only; the work is part of the ongoing Center Drive sewer mobilization and was described as an opportunity to address a deteriorating channel condition while the contractor is on site. No further budget amendments were proposed on the record at the meeting.
