BOARD ACTION REQUESTED:
Authorize the Supervisor and Clerk to enter into an Agreement with Stantec Consulting for engineering services to install a mid-block crossing at Whispering Springs Drive and Textile Road for a cost not to exceed $20,000.00, subject to Township Attorney approval
BACKGROUND:

This request comes via the Pittsfield Glen Homeowners Association, who have requested that the Township provide for safe pedestrian access to the Platt Textile Greenway. Working with the Washtenaw County Road Commission for viability, design, and access we are recommending proceeding with the engineering work for a cost not to exceed $20,000. The estimated construction cost, at this time, is about $95,000, which will need to be approved by the Board once the project has been bid for construction currently estimated for spring 2023.
