Green Township awards Hunts Road embankment contract, adopts capital ordinance for repairs
Summary
The Green Township Committee introduced a $267,000 capital ordinance for embankment work on Hunts Road and awarded the contract to Bob Viersma & Sons, Inc. for $256,580.50; the award is contingent on formal adoption of the ordinance at a later hearing.
The Green Township Committee on July 21 introduced a capital ordinance to fund embankment improvements along Hunts Road and moved to award the construction contract.
The ordinance (No. 2025-07) authorizes a total appropriation of $267,000 for the Hunts Road embankment work, with $92,000 from the General Capital–Capital Improvement Fund and $175,000 from the General Capital Fund balance. The Committee set the ordinance for public hearing on Aug. 18, 2025.
Separately, by Resolution 2025-128 the Committee authorized awarding the embankment contract to Bob Viersma & Sons, Inc., in the amount of $256,580.50. The award was expressly conditioned on the adoption of Ordinance 2025-07. The motion to award carried with Committeemembers James DeYoung, Michael Rose and Mayor Virginia Raffay voting in favor; Committeewoman Margaret “Peg” Phillips abstained.
Committee members had returned from a short executive session in which Hunts Road and related attorney-client and contract matters were on the agenda; the minutes record that action was anticipated following the executive discussion. The Committee will consider the capital ordinance and the associated contract at the next public hearing scheduled for Aug. 18, 2025.
Project funding and the award amount were recorded in the meeting packet and the resolution. No start date or construction schedule was included in the meeting record; the award remains contingent on the ordinance’s final adoption and any required contractor pre-award compliance steps.
The Committee's next regular meeting is set for Aug. 18, 2025, where the ordinance and related contract award will be publicly discussed and a final vote may occur.
