The City of Ann Arbor is seeking a qualified contractor to execute a multi‑phase streetscape and utility upgrade along North University Avenue and Thayer Street. The work includes complete reconstruction of pavements, installation of new water‑main, sanitary‑sewer, and storm‑sewer infrastructure, installation of lighting, traffic‑control devices, ADA‑compliant sidewalks, landscaping, and associated site‑work. The project is heavily phased with numerous “no‑work” windows to accommodate university events, the Ann Arbor Summer Festival, and other municipal activities, and it carries $3,000 per day liquidated damages for missed milestones.
• Roadway, curb, gutter, and sidewalk removal and new HMA/Concrete construction.
• Utility installation: new water mains, sanitary and storm‑sewer pipes, manholes, and related structures.
• Traffic‑control planning, temporary detours, signage, and lighting (30‑ft poles with LED fixtures).
• Landscaping, tree/shrub planting, planter walls, and erosion‑control measures.
• Strict wage requirements (prevailing‑ and living‑wage), extensive safety and insurance mandates, and a $6.5 M estimated construction cost.
