DOW intends to engage in the Chesapeake Avenue Area Water Line Improvements project, CIP Number 690236-100154. This project provides for general rehabilitation of the Chesapeake Avenue area water line distribution system including replacement of water mains which have exceeded their useful life and construction of new lines to eliminate poor fire flow capabilities and poor water quality. The project work will occur in the Chesapeake Avenue, Virginia Avenue, and Eighth Avenue areas.
A portion of the project work also includes resurfacing streets in the DOW project area. Clinton Township requested resurfacing of some of their nearby streets be included in the project, which DOW has agreed to do if Clinton Township will reimburse DOW for the cost of that work. Clinton Township has agreed to reimburse DOW the cost of the work to resurface the Clinton Township streets. This amount is currently estimated to be $28,895.00 plus the cost of construction administration and inspection. DOW will invoice Clinton Township after the work is completed.
