Council approves piggybacking on township grinder‑pump bid; contractor name varies in packet
Summary
The village agreed to accept Commerce Township’s publicly bid grinder‑pump contracts and piggyback on the low bid (transcript shows contractor name as Cene/CE/CN). Council authorized accepting the price and using the township bid to permit installations and connection fees.
Village staff recommended that Wolverine Lake piggyback on Commerce Township’s publicly bid grinder‑pump and sewer connection contract because the township’s low bidder (identified in the packet as "Cene"; spellings in the packet/transcript vary) was substantially lower than the alternative. Staff noted that the contractor has experience with compact village properties and that work is generally a pass‑through cost to property owners.
Council moved and approved a resolution to accept the price increases and piggyback on the township bid using the low bidder as presented. Staff said residents who connect will pay actual tap and installation costs that the village will escrow and forward to the township/contractor.
What happens next: staff will implement the piggyback arrangement, post details about connection fees and timelines, and advise residents on the (currently closed) waiting list about future opportunities.
