Title
Resolution to Approve an Agreement with the Ann Arbor Public Schools to Construct Water Main Improvements at Tappan Middle School
Memorandum
Attached for your review and approval is a resolution to authorize an Agreement with the Ann Arbor Public Schools (AAPS) to construct Water Main Improvements at Tappan Middle School as part of the Vaughn St./ Nob Hill/ Copley Ave./ Harbal/Leaird Dr./ Yost Alley Water Main And First Street Sanitary Replacement Project.
In the event of a fire, it is necessary to have adequate fire hydrant coverage at the school in order to effectively address public safety. Fire hydrant coverage at Tappan Middle School is currently inadequate.
The City is replacing the water main in Copley Avenue this summer to provide adequate fire coverage for Copley Avenue residences. At AAPS’s request, this water main will be extended to provide flow to a new fire hydrant that will serve nearby Tappan Middle School. The AAPS and City anticipate that there will be a cost savings, increased efficiency and reduction of possible contractor conflicts if the City undertakes work for the AAPS to serve Tappan Middle School in conjunction with the water main replacement project;
The Agreement submitted with this resolution has been reviewed and approved by the Ann Arbor Public Schools.
