In addition to awarding a bid for replacing tile in the courthouse’s first floor bathroom, the Sanilac County Board of Commissioners met this afternoon to discuss authorizing a vehicle purchase to aid the circuit court’s juvenile division.
During the regular meeting, commissioners awarded Graves Carpentry, LLC the first floor women’s bathroom tile project, with costs not to exceed $11,200. They also authorized the purchase of a vehicle by the circuit court’s juvenile division, with the cost of that vehicle not to exceed $42,545.
In addition, the commissioners approved MDOT for consent to grade and reconstruct the sidewalks in front of the county courthouse, along M-46. Buying the rights to the sidewalk for $700 as part of the deal, the commissioners’ approval is another step forward for the city of Sandusky’s major street projects with MDOT.
Last week, the Sandusky council heard from City Manager Dave Faber that the city’s project is receiving a $2.6 million grant and loan forgiveness. Faber noted that the project will include improvements on M-46 from Maple Valley Street to the west limits of the village of Carsonville, with that portion of the project, and the courthouse’s front sidewalk grading work, slated to begin in March 2024.
At the Finance and Administration meeting, District Two commissioner and county park board chairperson Roger Ballard asked the board to award an almost $465,250 work bid to Nicol and Sons of Cass City for work on the Evergreen Park Sewer Extension Project. A majority of the project’s funding would come from the county’s ARPA fund, with the rest being taken from the parks millage fund.
In addition to that project, Commissioner Ballard asked for immediate action on approving a change order for the Forester Park Playscape Project to keep it on schedule. The change order, which saves the county almost $5,000 on the project, will see the park staff completing site restoration and the excavated materials being left onsite.
