Mount Clemens OKs $341,000 Market Street resurfacing with federal funds
Summary
The City Commission authorized MDOT contract 15‑5199 for Market Street resurfacing (North Mount Clemens to North Avenue), a project estimated at $341,000 with about 81.85% funded by the Federal Surface Transportation Program; decorative crosswalks and A/V recording ($26,700) are not eligible for federal participation and are the city's responsibility.
The Mount Clemens City Commission authorized the city manager to execute MDOT contract 15-5199 on July 6 to resurface Market Street from North Mount Clemens to North Avenue.
City staff (speaker 7) said the project's estimated total cost is $341,000 and that 81.85 percent of the eligible project cost will be covered by the Federal Surface Transportation Program; the city's major streets fund will cover the remaining eligible costs. Staff flagged one portion of the work (labeled "Part B" in the contract) — decorative crosswalks and audio/visual recording of the construction area — as ineligible for federal participation and estimated that element at $26,700, which the city must pay.
A commissioner asked staff to clarify the contract language identifying which costs are eligible for federal participation; staff explained that Part B is excluded from federal funds and is shown separately in exhibit materials. The motion authorizing the contract passed by roll call vote.
What happens next: With authorization in place, the city will coordinate with MDOT and the selected contractor to schedule preconstruction activities and begin work; the city finance staff will allocate the non‑federal portion from the major streets fund and account for the $26,700 Part B items.
