Delhi trustees approve $28,400 engineering contract for 2026 sidewalk program
Summary
The township approved a $28,400 proposal from Hubbell, Roth & Clark to prepare design documents, solicit bids and administer construction for the 2026 Sidewalk Improvement Program, which includes sidewalk repairs, ADA ramp replacements and sidewalk gap infill.
The Delhi Charter Township Board approved an engineering proposal on Jan. 20 to advance its 2026 sidewalk maintenance and gap-infill program.
Trustee Matt Lincoln moved and Trustee DiAnne Warfield seconded a motion to approve a proposal from Hubbell, Roth & Clark, Inc. (HRC) for design, bidding and construction-phase services for the 2026 Sidewalk Improvement Program. A roll-call vote was recorded with seven ayes and no nays.
Township Manager Tracy L.C. Miller outlined the program in a Jan. 13 memorandum: the 2026 plan includes a mixture of sidewalk repairs (a 50/50 cost-share program with property owners), replacement of Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) ramps and construction of new sidewalk segments to close gaps in the network. Miller told the board the township budgeted funds for ADA ramp replacements and the 50/50 program and that the HRC contract would allow design documents and a bid package to be prepared so the work can proceed this construction season.
HRC’s written proposal, attached to the board packet, lists a scope of services that includes preparing contract documents, bidding assistance, construction administration and material testing. HRC proposed a not-to-exceed fee of $28,400 for those services, allocated between design, construction administration and testing. The proposal states HRC will prepare specifications and solicit bids in February and administer construction.
The board approved the contract by unanimous vote. Trustee Lincoln made the motion to approve the HRC proposal and Trustee Warfield supported it; roll-call was recorded Ayes: Montemayor, Warfield, Ford, Hope, King, Lenard and Lincoln; Nays: none.
The township memo indicates the total program budget for 2026 was larger — with several line items allocated to repairs, ADA work and gap infill — and that the HRC fee is intended to be the engineering component to solicit and manage bids for construction. Miller said the ADA ramp replacements often serve as a “backfill” if there are not enough property-owner projects to fully use the planned budget for 50/50 repairs.
HRC’s proposal states the firm would complete the contract documents in about three weeks and anticipated opening bids in mid-March 2026, with construction to follow under separate contract award based on the competitive bid results.
