6/12/13 - Bids for the Pinckney road project have come in over the estimated price. That's according to Village President, Linda Lavey, who spoke at Monday nightâs council meeting. Despite the increase in cost, the council will continue with the road work as planned. The project includes basic paving and resurfacing for parts of North Howell, Rose, and Depot Streets. One segment will also include an extended sewer line where there was not one before and five service leads will be replaced. Lavey says while the village council has not officially contracted with Wolverine Engineering, they are âdoing business with them and itâs working out well so far.â Had the project been bid out earlier in the spring, it wouldâve been cheaper, but Lavey says the roads were on the councilâs list of streets to maintain in this budget year and costs will go up 3-5% if they wait another year. The councilâs budget is only slightly altered now that they have a union with the Pinckney Police Department in order to cover things the contracted requires. Lavey says this is ânot unexpectedâ and they are ârolling with itâ. Once construction begins, two-way traffic will be maintained under control. (DK/JK)
