Summary
The board authorized the supervisor to negotiate a contract with the Spicer Group (Petoskey office) for geotechnical review and to design repairs for a drawdown system slope failure, and approved up to $1,000 for advance field review work; the motion passed by roll call.
The St. James Township Board on June 2 authorized the supervisor to negotiate a contract with the Spicer Group (Petoskey office) to perform a geotechnical review of a drawdown system slope failure and to prepare design work for repairs.
The motion, made by Cole and seconded by Peirano, directs the supervisor to negotiate the contract subject to the board’s review and approval and authorizes expending up to $1,000 for advance field review of the site and related township records. A roll-call vote was recorded as Cole Y, Clerk Julie Gillespie Y, Peirano Y, and Supervisor Welke Y; the motion carried.
The record states the negotiation and design contract will be subject to subsequent board review and approval. The meeting minutes do not include the firm’s proposed fee, a project schedule, or a final contract; they specify only authorization to negotiate and an advance $1,000 expenditure for field review and records research.
Next steps in the minutes indicate the supervisor will negotiate terms with the Spicer Group and bring the proposed contract back to the board for approval.
