Board votes to re-solicit bids for Huron Pointe sediment-removal special assessment district
Summary
After a single bid received on May 7 exceeded the petition estimate by more than 20%, the board voted to re-solicit bids for sediment removal from the Archer/Lakeshore canal and accepted further public input.
The township clerk told trustees the township had been working with Archer/Lakeshore canal residents on a special-assessment district (SAD) to fund sediment removal. Homeowners had initially identified a preferred contractor but permitting delays and contractor insurance/staffing issues prompted Wade Trim to prepare a request for proposals. One bid received on May 7 exceeded the cost estimate in the petition by more than 20 percent and public comment was heard.
Trustee Brian Batkins moved and Clerk Adam Wit seconded a motion to re-solicit bids; the motion carried.
The board did not record a detailed vote tally in the minutes for this motion. Next steps are to reissue the RFP and report back to the board with any new bids and updated cost estimates before final assessment decisions.
