Pre-RFPInfrastructure & MaintenanceDetected Jun 11, 2026

The June 11, 2026 Bertrand Charter Township Board agenda lists establishment of a “Lighting Special Assessment District” under New Business, indicating the township is considering formalizing a funding mechanism for roadway or neighborhood lighting. This type of district typically precedes design work, fixture selection, installation, and ongoing maintenance arrangements for public lighting infrastructure. Because this is at the agenda/discussion stage, no vendors, scope, or technology choices appear to be set yet, suggesting the township is in early planning for how to implement and fund lighting improvements.Vendors in outdoor lighting, LED conversions, poles and fixtures, photometric design, and maintenance services could assist the township in defining costs, service levels, and implementation options that align with a special assessment model, as well as help staff prepare for any subsequent procurement or bid process once the district parameters are approved.

Scope details (number of lights, geography, or technology) are not specified yet; this appears to be the funding/structuring step before procurement.

The council will consider easements over existing stormwater infrastructure on private property in advance of the West Basin project. The agenda ties the easements to a named future infrastructure project, which is a strong signal that design and right-of-way coordination are still being lined up.

Public Updates

The agenda included a parking plan and associated site improvements at the National Register listed Cooch House. The item was scheduled for the October 20, 2026 hearing and shows planned work around an existing historic site, but no vendor or dollar value was named. A seller would need to track the preservation review and any later site-work procurement tied to the approved concept.

Budget Planning

The committee planned an update on the sliding gate for C&D at the transfer station and specifically asked about determining funding required versus revenue gained. That frames the gate as a cost-benefit and budget question, not a completed purchase. A vendor or contractor should track this as an early funding discussion before any procurement.
