Title
Resolution to Award a Contract for Plymouth Parkway Park Wetland Restoration to Fonson Inc. ($97,687.50) and an Appropriation of Funds ($107,687.00) (8 Votes Required)

This memorandum and resolution requests approval to award a contract to Fonson Inc. for the Plymouth Parkway Park Wetland Restoration in the amount of $97,687.50.
This project involves removing excess soils from an existing wetland that filled in during an embankment collapse of the Ann Arbor Rail Road along Plymouth Road in July of 2011.
