Memorandum
Attached for your review and approval, please find a resolution that approves a construction contract with Pamar Enterprises, Inc., in the amount of $1,822,523.01, for the Riverview Drive/Dover Place Sanitary Sewer and Water Main Extension Project.
This project includes construction of a new, 8" sanitary sewer in Riverview Drive to service parcels from Geddes Avenue to approximately 485 Riverview Drive. The project will also construct several sections of water main: a 12" water main to service properties located along Riverview Drive from Geddes Avenue to Huntington Place; a 12" water main along Huntington Place from Riverview Drive to Onaway Place; an 8" water main in Dover Place from Riverview Drive to its end; and, an 8" cross-lot water main adjacent to 505 Riverview Drive to a create a looping water main to the Geddes Ridge Subdivision located to the east of the project.
As background, two township residents petitioned the City for sanitary sewer and water service because their septic tanks and tile fields had failed or were in the process of failing. Further, a city resident along Huntington Place also requested the City to provide their property with city water service as well.
