City approves engineering services

Maintenance slated for Fenton Mill Pond dam

 Dan Brisson, DPW director, said the city’s engineering firm, OHM Engineering Advisors, is preparing bid specifications for concrete joint repairs, concrete spalling repairs, and concrete sealing for the Fenton Mill Pond dam. Maintenance also will address minor erosion concerns and different locations on the retaining walls on both sides of the dam.  “All proposed repairs are typical surface maintenance repairs that all concrete dams experience over time,” Brisson said.  The project has a preliminary cost of approximately $200,000, which the city will pay.  “We are planning on early summer bidding with a late summer/early fall project when water levels are traditionally at a seasonal low,” Brisson said.

Silver Lake Road to be rehabilitated

 The city was awarded $1,964,293 in federal and state funding for road surfacing.  Dan Brisson, Public Works director, said the total project is estimated to cost $2,507,600 with the city’s participation cost estimated at $543,307. Engineering for the project is covered by the MDOT agreement and the city will have to pay 100 percent of engineering costs.  The portion of Silver Lake Road westward from Poplar Street to be rehabilitated is 1.53 miles long. The project consists of asphalt milling and resurfacing, concrete curb, gutter and ramp repair, guardrail ends, pedestrian signals, signing and pavement markings.  Brisson recommended city council approve the resolution and to authorize the city manager to sign the MDOT contract and approve the city’s portion of the costs.
