Infrastructure Projects

The City has been lining the sewer system in order to maintain its structural integrity, as well as, extend the service life of the pipe network. In January 2019, City Council awarded a five-year bid contract to LiquiForce/Granite to perform this work. Currently, the contractor has completed phase one of the project which included sewer inspection, cleaning, and measurement intake for the placement of pipe lining.

Project Scope and Overview
Pipe candidates for lining are determined each year based on rating criteria from the regular sewer inspections.

Following the voter-approved Capital Improvement Project Millage for Road/Infrastructure in November 2018, the City will commence its two-year project of road improvements to numerous local and residential streets.

Project Scope and Overview
The project includes the removal and replacement of various sections of concrete and curbs, as well as, rehabilitation of drainage structures throughout the City. Currently Public Works and the City’s consulting engineers, Hubbell, Roth & Clark, INC. (HRC), have completed the contract bid process and the pre-construction meeting is scheduled for late May. After this meeting, the City will provide a timeline of which City streets will have work done this calendar year. The project is scheduled to begin in summer 2020.

The City of Berkley conducted its bid process on the Sidewalk Replacement Program which is initially focused within the southwest section of the City. However, City administration decided it will delay the start of this program until further notice over concerns about financial hardships residents may face due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Scope of the Pilot Program is as follows:

• The replacement of sidewalk slabs (whether they are the result of tree root disturbance or not) within the southwest section of the City bordered by Greenfield and Coolidge to the west and east, respectively, and 11 Mile Road and Catalpa to the south and north, respectively. 

• This initial program includes those concrete slabs determined to be “immediate” (2 inches or more in vertical displacement), as determined by inspection and evaluation of this section, including City-owned facilities.
• If there are any major category (between ½ inch and 2 inches in vertical displacement) priorities adjacent to the immediate priorities, those slabs will be addressed at the same time.
