Memorandum
Attached for your review and consideration for approval, please find a resolution to approve a construction contract between the City of Ann Arbor and Eminent Excavating LLC in the amount of $4,499,212.00 for the South Maple, Arbordale and Sherwood Watermain Replacement and Improvements Project (RFP 26-17).
The project includes the installation of approximately 800 feet of water main within a public utility easement in the Surrey Park neighborhood off of South Maple Road to create a looped water main system. This improvement will enhance system reliability and increase water pressure in the area. The project also includes the installation of two check valves on South Maple Road to isolate the Surrey Park and Avant developments, creating an independent pressure district that will benefit from the recently constructed pump station serving the Avant development.
In addition, approximately 4,000 feet of water main will be installed along Arbordale Street, Sherwood Street, and Sherwood Circle to replace aging infrastructure. The existing water main has experienced 11 breaks over the past 18 years, making it a high priority candidate for replacement.
The project will also include stormwater system improvements, including the installation of curb drains, storm sewer infrastructure, and new stormwater structures. Roadway improvements will consist of street resurfacing, along with the construction of raised pedestrian crossings, speed humps, and ADA accessible curb ramps to help reduce vehicle speeds and improve pedestrian safety.
Project construction is scheduled to begin in May 2026 and be completed in November 2026.
