Council awards Sherman Street construction bid and authorizes MDOT contract signature
Summary
The council awarded the Sherman Street construction contract to Laser Corporation for $689,982.32 pending MDOT approval and adopted a separate resolution authorizing the city manager to sign the MDOT contract to receive a $250,000 grant for the project.
Caro City Council voted to award the Sherman Street construction contract to Laser Corporation for a bid of $689,982.32, pending final approval by the Michigan Department of Transportation.
Staff explained the project will be funded in part by an MDOT category B grant for $250,000; the city’s engineering costs are on the current year, while construction work and invoicing will be reflected in the next fiscal year. The manager said work would likely start in June after completion of related street work and school schedules, with bills arriving in July to be included in next year’s budget.
Council also adopted resolution 2026‑05 authorizing the city manager to sign MDOT contract 26‑5094, the formal agreement to accept grant funds and proceed with the project. The roll calls on both the construction award and the MDOT contract resolution carried by majority vote.
Next steps: pending MDOT concurrence, the manager will execute the contract and coordinate the project schedule with the awarded contractor, Row engineering and affected departments.
