All bidders, from highest to lowest bidder, must adhere to MDOT state guidelines for road construction. Road life expectancy is 15 to 20 years, especially when you consider the harsh winters and resulting plowing/salting as well as the fact that Michigan allows a higher truck load limit on our roads when compared to other states.

The concrete repairs done this summer on 13 Mile from Groesbeck to Gratiot (under RCMC jurisdiction) were completed through the ARRA (American Reinvestment and Recovery Act) economic stimulus program and were done as a temporary repair until funding for a full resurfacing project can be obligated.

The section of 13 Mile from Gratiot to Little Mack falls under the city jurisdiction.
