Members of the Northville City Council approved Director of Public Works Director Mike Domine's request for repairs to Yerkes Street in the city.
The repaving will be completed by Nagle Paving and the water main in the street will be replaced, a project that is shovel-ready, Domine explained. While the cost of the work was estimated at $833,943, council members approved a 15 percent contingency for a total of $959,035.
Nagle, the low bidder in the DPW 2022 bid for the Local Road and Water Main Replacement program, explained that the 6-percent increase from the 2022 contract is due to a rise in the cost of materials, labor, and benefits in the proposal.
Engineering consultants from OHM are reviewing the remaining 2023 construction projects and said the unit prices provided and total cost proposed are consistent with recent bidding seen throughout the region. Nagle Paving has an extensive background in construction projects throughout metro Detroit, specifically in Northville, officials said, including the completion of several projects, including the 2022 local street and water main replacement program.
