  • Geotechnical Eng Services Award to Soil & Materials Engineers And
    CITY of NOVI CITY COUNCIL Agenda Item 8 June 16, 2014 SUBJECT: Approval to award Agreements for Geotechnical Engineering Services for Public Projects to Soil & Materials Engineers and Testing and Engineering Consultants for a period of three years with the option of two one-year extensions, as recommended by the Consultant Review Committee, with an effective date of June 16, 2014. SUBMITTING DEPARTMENT: Departmen~lfPublic Services, Engineering Division 'f.,'fC... CITY MANAGER APPROVAL: ~ BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Since 2009, the City has contracted for civil engineering consulting services for public infrastructure projects using three pre-qualified engineering consultants. In a similar manner, staff is proposing the use of pre-qualified geotechnical consultants. The City current seeks proposals for geotechnical engineering each time it is required for a project, and entails field and laboratory testing of most materials typically used in civil construction. The geotechnical engineering consultants work closely with staff and the civil engineering consultant to provide technical expertise in both the planning phase and construction phase for public infrastructure projects. The use of pre-qualified consultants for engineering consulting has streamlined the engineering award process and provides a steady, consistent amount of work so that each firm can routinely provide qualified staff dedicated to Novi. The goals of the geotechnical pre-qualification would be the same. The Engineering Division completed the process to recommend two pre-qualified geotechnical consultants to be utilized for the planning and construction phases of public infrastructure projects. The attached Request for Qualifications was advertised publicly on January 17, 2014 to solicit two pre-qualified geotechnical engineering consultants.

  • Meijer Doubles Down on the Big Box Building Smaller Is Not the Way to Get Bigger for the Family- Owned Retailer — Yet by ADRIENNE ROBERTS
    August 21, 2016 Meijer doubles down on the big box Building smaller is not the way to get bigger for the family- owned retailer — yet By ADRIENNE ROBERTS Photo by Meijer While Meijer still sees stores as large as the one that opened this month in Flat Rock (shown here) as central to its future, it is looking for new locations in cramped urban areas and mulling what a smaller store might look like. Meijer is still betting big on the big box. Competitors such as Wal-Mart and Target are experimenting with smaller stores in an effort to draw millennials and fit stores into more compact urban footprints. But the pioneer of that type of superstore still sees stores the size of three or four football fields, like one that opened in Flat Rock earlier this month, as central to its future. That's not to say Meijer isn't hedging its bets. Company officials say it is looking for new locations in urban areas and taking another run at what a store about half the size of a typical Meijer might look like. One thing the company says isn't happening, though, is a rumored store in the district surrounding the new Little Caesars Arena in Detroit. The privately held, family-owned retailer, based in Walker — with revenue of $16.1 billion according to Forbes — was being courted to open a smaller store to fit into the Woodward Square area of The District Detroit, which immediately surrounds the forthcoming Little Caesars Arena in downtown Detroit, Crain's reported in January.

  • The Dynamics and Impacts of Retail Supermarket Decentralization in Detroit, Michigan
    THE DYNAMICS AND IMPACTS OF RETAIL SUPERMARKET DECENTRALIZATION IN DETROIT, MICHIGAN By Timothy F. LeDoux A DISSERTATION Submitted to Michigan State University In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Geography – Doctor of Philosophy 2013 ABSTRACT THE DYNAMICS AND IMPACTS OF RETAIL SUPERMARKET DECENTRALIZATION IN DETROIT, MICHIGAN By Timothy F. LeDoux This dissertation integrates a social ecological framework with GIS, historical records, survey data and multivariate statistics to examine the transformation of the tri-County Detroit, Michigan food environment from 1970 to 2010. It documents how patterns of retail supermarket decentralization combined with a racially selective residential suburbanization process to create an uneven food environment characterized by a city-suburb dichotomy in which the predominately African American city of Detroit was devoid of national and regional supermarkets and the predominately-White suburbs were awash in stores. It shows how these disparities were further exacerbated by a massive economic restructuring among the major national and regional supermarkets operating within the tri-County, Detroit region. Last, it examines how disadvantaged residents responded to these changing conditions and how limited food environments shape public health outcomes as measured by dietary-intake levels. In so doing, this dissertation challenges several assumptions and fills in some missing gaps within the existing “food desert” literature. First, it tests the prevalent assumption within the “food
