RE: PURCHASING-REVIEW & APPROVAL OF VENDOR SERVICES CONTRACTS
TO THE OAKLAND COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS:
MR. CHAIRMAN, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN:
WHEREAS, Oakland County enters into a myriad of contracts
with various vendors and contractors during the course of normal
business operations, and
WHEREAS, the County Budget contains an ever-increasing
amount of funds designated for the retaining of professional
services, independent contractors, and third parties and agencies
hired to perform county functions, and
WHEREAS, the magnitude of the use of such outside
assistance requires that a uniform policy for review and approval
of such contracting practices be developed.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Finance Committee
of the Oakland County Board of Commissioners be directed to work
with Management & Budget Division to establish a review and
approval procedure for all vendor services contracts for
professional services, independent employment contractors,
consulting services and third parties and agencies hired to perform
or assist in the performance of County functions when the cost for
such contract is estimated to be more than $5000 annually.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that such vendor services
contracts may not be signed after the date of the adoption of this
resolution until such time as the Board of Commissioners has
approved a review and approval procedure for said vendor services
contracts, unless said contracts are specifically approved by the
Board of Commissioners.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that such vendor services
contract's which have been entered into prior to the establishment
of this review and approval process and which have not been
approved by the Board of Commissioners will be subject to Finance
Committee review.
