IN RE: SANITARY SEWER PROJECTS
TO THE OAKLAND COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
Mr. Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS, the County of Oakland is presently in the process of
constructing Sanitary Sewer Projects, which are:
1. Holly S.D.S. C26-2318-03
2. West Bloomfield Ext. #2 C26-2787-02
3. Waterford Phase III C26-2800-03
4. Waterford Phase IV C26-2800-06
5. Waterford Phase V C26-2800-05
6. Avon Ext. #2 C26-2788-03; and
WHEREAS, these projects had to be under construction within one (1)
year from the award of EPA Grants as required by the guidelines; and
WHEREAS, these projects totalled approximately $90,000,000
of construction; and
WHEREAS, all of the above projects are required to be under
construction no later than September 30, 1978; and
WHEREAS, this large volume of construction work in Oakland County
and throughout the state caused a surplus of projects to be bid at one time
which resulted in construction bids being as much as 60% over cost
estimate; and
WHEREAS, the large volume of bonds issued within the one (1)
year period to finance local share costs partially caused an increase in
bond interest rates of as much as 1%.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the County of Oakland requests
the Environmental Protection Agency to eliminate the present requirement
that construction must be initiated within one (1) year after date of grant
award and in lieu thereof permit a grantee to receive construction bids
and initiate construction in a more favorable bidding climate.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that copies of this resolution be
forwarded to the U.S. House of Representatives and Senate.
The Planning and Building Committee by Richard R. Wilcox, Chairperson,
moves the adoption of the foregoing resolution.
