Mount Clemens OKs MDOT resurfacing contract for Wells Street; estimated cost $286,000
Summary
The commission authorized a Surface Transportation Program contract with MDOT (contract no. 22-5578) to resurface Wells Street, with an estimated total cost of $286,000; federal funds are expected to cover roughly 81.85% and the city's Major Streets Fund the remainder.
The Mount Clemens City Commission voted to adopt a resolution approving a Surface Transportation Program contract with the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) for pavement resurfacing on Wells Street (contract no. 22-5578).
Staff presented the project and materials, saying the contract covers resurfacing of Wells Street from northbound Gratiot to southbound Gratiot and that “the total cost for the repair of Wells Street is estimated at $286,000.” Staff explained that federal Surface Transportation Program funds are expected to cover approximately 81.85% of the eligible project cost and that the city’s Major Streets Fund would cover the remaining $53,005.46. The staff packet included the municipal resolution and a note that the city attorney had reviewed the contract.
A commissioner moved to adopt the resolution and authorize the city manager and the public-services director to sign the agreement; the motion was supported and passed on roll call. During discussion, commissioners asked whether adjacent sections of other streets could be included while work is underway; staff said the idea would be added to budget considerations and evaluated for potential cost savings.
Staff provided a technical clarification about eligibility: a staff presenter explained that a section of Welch Street is part of the National Functional Classification and therefore eligible for federal funds, while other sections of Welch are not part of that classification and would not be eligible for the same funding. The transcript contains varying spellings for some street names (Welt/Welch/Welds/Wells); the resurfacing contract materials and cost estimate in the staff presentation referred to Wells Street.
