Council authorizes $75,000 change order for mid‑block pedestrian crossing near Milford school
Summary
The city approved a $75,000 change order to construct a mid‑block pedestrian crossing on North Rehoboth Boulevard; the Milford School District will reimburse the city using CTF funds.
Milford City Council authorized a $75,000 change order to the city’s street rehabilitation contract to construct a mid‑block pedestrian crossing on North Rehoboth Boulevard, north of the intersection referenced in an MOU with the Milford School District.
Public‑works staff said the crossing includes a concrete median, curb ramps, a pedestrian refuge island, detectable warnings and signage. The change order will use the existing contractor (Eastern) under the city’s utility/street rehab contract; the Milford School District will reimburse the city for engineering and construction costs after project completion. Staff added the reimbursement is expected to be paid with CTF funds secured by legislators.
Council action: The council moved and seconded the authorization and approved the change order by voice vote.
Why it matters: The crossing is intended to improve pedestrian safety near the school; the city will front the construction cost and be reimbursed by the school district’s grant allocation.
Next steps: Public works will issue the change order to the contractor, proceed with construction scheduling and submit final invoices to the school district for reimbursement once work is complete.
