Oak Park adopts MDOT contract for 9 Mile Road rehab after receiving federal and state aid
Summary
Council adopted a resolution approving MDOT contract 24-55-93 for 9 Mile Road rehabilitation (Cloverlawn to Greenfield). The project has $766,512 in federal aid and a $900,000 state earmark; engineer's estimate is $1,665,600 and ADA ramp upgrades will be included.
Oak Park’s City Council voted March 3 to adopt an MDOT contract and authorize city signatures for the 9 Mile Road rehabilitation project between Cloverlawn and Greenfield Road.
City engineer Cara Grissimer told the council the project will be publicly bid through MDOT and that the city secured $766,512 in federal aid and a $900,000 state legislative earmark through Senator McMorrow’s office. “Based on the engineer's estimate, this project is currently estimated at $1,665,600,” Grissimer said. She recommended adoption of MDOT contract 24-55-93, subject to final review by the city attorney and authorization for the mayor and city manager to sign.
Grissimer said the work will remove existing asphalt by milling and replace it with new asphalt, and that the city will perform required ADA ramp and truncated-dome improvements while work is concentrated within the traveled way to avoid extensive curb work.
Council members thanked Senator McMorrow and discussed ADA requirements. The resolution adopting the MDOT contract passed unanimously on a roll-call vote.
Staff said construction engineering costs and any additional construction-phase expenses will be brought before council later in the process.
