The week of June 18, 2023, herbicides will be applied to the Wixom and Sanford lakebottoms under the jurisdiction of the Wixom Lake Improvement Board (WLIB) and Sanford Lake Improvement Board (SLIB). The primary goal is large-scale management of the young trees that started growing on the lakebottoms after the May 2020 flood.
Application Areas:
Pull-ahead projects for Edenville Dam are out for public comment by EGLE. Contracting is in the final stages for installing the SCB (soil cement bentonite) cutoff wall in the embankments. This is planned to start this summer.
Four Lakes Task Force received construction bids from two qualified contractors in late April, as communicated in May ("Sanford Construction Bids Higher than Expected").
We believe the bids were higher than expected and therefore both have now been rejected. After the bids, FLTF requested qualifications from construction managers to consult in pre-bidding tasks, including repackaging the work into smaller divisions and perhaps performing construction management. We hope you join us for a webinar update on Thursday, June 8th from 3:00-4:30 pm. During the webinar, presenters will share construction and financing updates and answer questions.
