Madison Heights approves contractor extension with Italia Construction and awards senior snow-removal contract
Summary
Council approved a one-year extension with Italia Construction of Washington Township for annual sidewalk and pavement restoration work in 2026 and awarded the senior-chore snow-removal contract to Allen's Landscaping (unit price $35 per lot) with Luxury Lawn & Snow named as contingency at $55 per lot.
Madison Heights City Council approved two procurement actions on the consent and bids sections of tonight's agenda: a contract extension for 2026 with Italia Construction (the city's longstanding sidewalk and pavement-restoration contractor) and the award of the senior-chore snow-removal contract to Allen's Landscaping and Lawn Services LLC.
Staff noted Italia has been the lowest qualified bidder for years and recommended a contract extension for the 2026 construction season. Council members praised the contractor's performance and noted that a previous request by Italia for a mid-contract price increase had been denied by the council; staff confirmed Italia returned as the lowest qualified bidder for the new award.
For the senior-chore snow-removal program (funded through the Oakland Livingston Human Services Agency), staff identified 72 qualifying residents and recommended awarding the work to the lowest responsible bidder, Allen's Landscaping, at $35 per lot for the 2025-26 snow season. The motion includes authorization to proceed with the next lowest bidder, Luxury Lawn & Snow, at $55 per lot if Allen's is terminated for nonperformance.
Both motions were moved, supported and approved by council voice votes.
