The City of Melvindale is accepting proposals for ENGINEERING SERVICES/GRANT ADMINISTRATION FOR CDBG
FUNDED SANITARY SEWER LINING PROJECTS 1 and 2, in the City of Melvindale, Wayne County, Michigan
Expanded Project 1 Description:
The City of Melvindale’s project as shown in the project location map includes sanitary sewer lining for six streets
or easements – Robert Street and City Boundary Easement, Robert and Harman Easement, Harman and Hanna
Easement, Hanna and Wood Easement, Coleman Street, and Oakwood Boulevard Alley. The entire City of
Melvindale is over 51% LMI population. These sewers were originally installed in the 1940’s.
The proposed project is cured-in-place pipe lining. Cured-in-place sewer lining is a trenchless technology that
forms a new pipelining into an existing one. The new lining provides a strong durable material that fixes
structural damage and leaking joints. The newly lined pipe not only seals the pipe from incoming groundwater,
but also creates a smoother surface allowing for greater flow capacity. Higher flow capacity and sealed sewer
pipes significantly reduces the surcharge flooding backups into surrounding buildings.
The project lines 12,992 linear feet of sanitary sewer lines and includes 509 sanitary sewer lead reinstatements.
Here is the breakdown of each street.
Robert Street and Western City Boundary Easement – 1,259 Linear Feet (8 inch diameter)
Robert and Harman Easement – 3,294 Linear Feet (8 inch diameter)
Harman and Hanna Easement – 3,348 Linear Feet (8 inch diameter)
Hanna and Wood Easement – 2,834 Linear Feet (8 inch diameter)
Coleman Street – 310 Linear Feet (10 inch diameter), 895 LF (12 inch)
Oakwood Blvd Alley – 1,052 Linear Feet (8 inch diameter)
There will be a total of 600 Mineral Deposit Removals, 80 Service Lead Protrusion Cuttings, and 509 Service Lead
Reinstatements for all streets/easements listed above.
