Grant FundingPublic WorksDetected May 13, 2026

During the May 13, 2026 meeting, the Town of Mecan reviewed its road tour findings and estimates from Brian Trebiatowski, noting that all roads need repairs and that there is a significant structure currently treated as a potential $1,000,000 bridge project. The town is coordinating with DNR and the Local Surface Transportation Program (noted as LSSIP) to potentially reduce this to a $48,000 culvert solution, and has decided to put most paving on hold until grant approval or disapproval is received. The board did approve specific work: $5,000 for patching and hot mix on all town roads, $12,500 for Riverview Drive (CTH C to Marquette County line), and $34,750 for Eagle Road (Soda Road to Shields Line), funded from the $167,000 road fund.This creates a near-term need for roadwork contractors, materials suppliers, and potentially engineering support, with a larger opportunity tied to the grant-funded culvert/bridge replacement once funding is confirmed. Vendors can engage around helping the town scope, design, and competitively price the culvert replacement and any additional paving once the grant decision is known.

Most paving is on hold until the grant decision that would change a $1,000,000 bridge approach to a $48,000 culvert; town currently holds 167000 in its road fund.
