Loading...
Summary
Council approved a contract award to HMC (Troy) for the Hubbard Street water main replacement: $993,102.50 plus a 10% contingency (total not to exceed $1,092,412.75). Staff said construction should begin in mid‑May and the full road will be replaced in concrete.
The Wayne City Council voted April 21 to award the Hubbard Street water‑main replacement project to HMC of Troy, Michigan, for $993,102.50, with a 10% contingency for a project ceiling of $1,092,412.75, to be paid from the water and sewer budget.
City staff described the limits of the project as two blocks of Hubbard Street from Annapolis to Stellwagen and said the entire roadway will be replaced in concrete when the water main work is complete. “It was designed in house … we hope to have them begin construction by mid‑May. Hopefully, June 1 at the latest,” said Mike, a city staff member who briefed the council on the schedule.
Administration recommended the lowest qualified bidder, and council members moved to approve the award and contingency; the motion carried.
Why it matters: The project replaces aging water main infrastructure and includes full road restoration. The council approved a contingency to cover potential unforeseen costs.
What’s next: Staff expects to finalize award within two weeks and begin construction mid‑May; city staff will coordinate notices and traffic impacts with affected residents.
