Macomb council awards construction services to CMT for 2026 roadway projects; transcript records conflicting contract amount
Summary
Council approved a construction-services contract with design firm Crawford, Murphy & Tilley for the 2026 roadway improvement program; the transcript contains conflicting references to the contract amount ($189,000 and $89,000), which council and staff should clarify.
Macomb — The City Council unanimously approved awarding construction services for the city’s 2026 roadway improvement projects to Crawford, Murphy & Tilley (CMT), the design engineer on the program.
Public Works Director Alice Ortman told council that CMT designed the projects and is recommended to perform construction services; she said the overall roadway program budget is roughly $2.2 million and that CMT is the preferred construction services contractor. Council moved and approved the contract during the meeting.
The transcript contains two different figures tied to this item: an earlier staff presentation refers to a $189,000 contract amount, while the mayor’s motion to approve later in the discussion referenced $89,000. The council approved the measure on a roll-call vote. The council packet and staff procurement records should be consulted to confirm the correct contract amount before implementation.
The contract was presented as part of the city’s planned 2026 roadway program, which includes concrete work on Bayberry and HMA (hot-mix asphalt) work across the city. Staff noted the procurement follows the previously approved project budget and that a memorandum from the public works director accompanied the item in the packet.
Follow-up: staff implementation will be assigned to the Public Works Department to finalize contract terms and confirm the exact contract amount prior to processing payments.
