Resolution to Approve a Contract with the Michigan Department of Transportation for the Plymouth Road Resurfacing Phase II Project ($1,299,868.00)
Memorandum
Attached for your review and consideration, please find a resolution to approve a contract between the City of Ann Arbor and the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) for the construction phase of the Plymouth Road Resurfacing Phase II Project. The agreement prescribes the cost sharing of the construction, as well as each party's rights and responsibilities, and is required for the project to receive its share of federal funding from the Surface Transportation Program (STP).
This project consists of a partial depth milling and repaving of the existing asphalt to improve the pavement conditions of Plymouth Road between Murfin Avenue/Upland Drive and Broadway Street. Also included in the project, is a slight narrowing of existing lane widths in order to install a 1.2 mile long westbound buffered bicycle lane to Maiden Lane/Moore Street.
Construction is expected to begin in July 2021 and be completed by September 30, 2021.
Completed plans were submitted to MDOT in January of 2021, and the project was advertised in March for a May 14, 2021 MDOT bid letting. This memorandum and resolution were prepared prior to the letting date, so bid prices were not available. MDOT will award a contract to the qualified low bidder and administer the contract. The City will act as the project engineer.
Budget/Fiscal Impact: The Engineer's estimate for the project's construction is $1,942,000.00. The estimated total cost of the project is $2,715,000.00. In total, the City will be receiving approximately $1,299,868.00 in Federal funds for this project. The federal funding will be used to fund participating construction expenses. The City will be funding its share of the construction costs and the design, construction engineering, and material testing costs.
