Inkster Council OKs $1.31 million contract to rebuild North River Park Drive

The Inkster City Council voted to authorize administration to approve a contract with Major Contracting Group Incorporated for the North River Park Drive reconstruction totaling $1,313,149.20, the council said on the record.

Council members stated the base construction amount is $1,238,820, plus a 6% contingency of $74,329.20, bringing the total to $1,313,149.20. The motion to approve the contract was moved and seconded and passed by voice vote.

During a brief discussion before the vote, a speaker asked for the construction timeline and the materials to be used. A speaker responding on the record said the projected completion is November 2025 and that the paving material will be asphalt.

The contract was presented as a construction item on the agenda and handled as a consent-style motion followed by discussion. The council did not record individual roll-call votes on the transcript; the motion was approved by a voice vote and the mayor noted the motion "passes."
