Fairfield approves Grey Road water-main replacement; road closure of up to 90 days planned
Summary
Council authorized a contract to replace nearly 7,000 feet of aging iron water main on Grey Road; the city said the contractor will close the road for the work but the closure will not exceed 90 days and outreach to impacted residents is planned.
Council authorized the city manager to execute a contract with Rack and Balour Excavating for the Grey Road water-main replacement project.
According to staff, the project will replace nearly 7,000 feet of deteriorating, roughly 50-year-old iron piping along Grey Road, from the curve near John Gray to the area by Lake Michigan Monastery. Council approved emergency passage and suspended further readings so work can start as soon as possible; staff indicated a desire to begin in October to complete the job before winter.
City staff said the contractor will close Grey Road for the work and that the city has specified the closure will not exceed 90 days. Officials also said a preconstruction meeting and neighborhood outreach will occur once a schedule is solidified.
Council adopted the ordinance to award the bid to Rack and Balour Excavating and authorized the city manager to execute the contract; details on the contract value and precise start date were not specified at the meeting.
