DATE:

February 24, 2021

BOARD ACTION REQUESTED:

Authorize the Supervisor and Clerk to enter into an Agreement with the Washtenaw County Road Commission for the installation upgrade of mast arms at the intersections of Textile and Maple and Textile and Lohr in an estimated amount not to exceed $294,460, subject to Township Attorney approval.

BACKGROUND:

Washtenaw County Road Commission is installing traffic signals at two intersections, Textile and Maple, Textile and Lohr. In effort to remain consistent with all other recent crosswalk and signalization, the road commission has offered to install the Mast Arm infrastructure rather than the standard wire span suspended from wood poles. However, the expense for this upgrade would be born by the township.
