Chatham-Kent council is scheduled to discuss two street rejuvenations and one sewer separation, costing roughly $8.5 million.
The tender awards include repaving the Dufferin Avenue Bridge deck in Wallaceburg, modernizing its existing guard rails, and replacing the current concrete barriers.
The construction is projected to cost $1,949,248.83 plus another $74,000 for consulting and contract administration.
Staff said the bridge will be closed during construction, which is anticipated to begin this summer and be completed in December.
If approved, the municipality will also be spending $3,929,467 to rehabilitate Base Line Road from Centre Side Road to North Street near Dresden.
The tender would include cold-in-place pavement recycling. This process reclaims, rejuvenates, and replaces the current pavement into a base layer, then adds a layer of asphalt on top.
Staff says the results would add 15 to 20 years of service to the pavement.
If CK council passes the rehabilitation on Base Line Road, it would begin this summer and be completed by October 31, 2026.
A tender award for $2,675,900 will also be brought before council on Monday.
This contract would see phase two of the sewer separation on Selkirk Street in Chatham.
If approved, the existing combined sewer between Van Allen Avenue and Elizabeth Street would be removed. A new system would be installed on Selkirk Street and on Memory Lane.
The construction, beginning this summer and ending in November, would also include upsizing the water main and restoring the road.
CK council will discuss these construction projects at Monday's meeting.
