Council approves $39,000 city cost share for Harrison Road rehabilitation with MDOT
Summary
The council approved a cost-sharing agreement with MDOT for the Harrison Road rehabilitation from Grand River to Sagena: total project estimated at about $1.46 million with approximately $877,664 funded by FHWA and a $39,000 city share (15% contingency included); construction expected July–August.
The East Lansing City Council approved a cost-sharing agreement with the Michigan Department of Transportation for the Harrison Road Rehabilitation Project, which will rehabilitate Harrison Road from Grand River to Sagena.
Director Lacass told council the total project estimate is about $1.46 million, with roughly $877,664 funded by the Federal Highway Administration; the city's cost share presented to council was $39,000, which the staff said includes a 15% contingency. MDOT will hold the construction contract; the city is approving the cost-sharing agreement and authorizing the acting city manager to sign.
Council members asked about timeline and traffic management. Lacass said Consumers Energy must complete gas-main work first and the plan was for the city-managed work to take place in July and August with detours posted and the contractor aiming to finish before school starts. Councilmember Meadows and Councilmember Whan moved and seconded the motion to execute the agreement; the motion carried by voice vote.
Public outreach and coordination with MDOT and Consumers Energy were noted as follow-up tasks, and Public Works will provide updates as the schedule is finalized.
