MISCELLANEOUS RESOLUTION #12010 February 1, 2012
BY: FINANCE COMMITTEE, TOM MIDDLETON, CHAIRPERSON
IN RE: FACILITIES MANAGEMENT/FACILITIES PLANNING & ENGINEERING — AUTHORIZE
ADDITIONAL FUNDING FOR WATER TOWER RESTORATION PROJECT
TO THE OAKLAND COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS the Service Center Water Tower is located on the west side of the Service Center
adjacent to the IT building and was constructed in 1961; and
WHEREAS the water tower also serves as a structure for several antenna sites utilized by Radio
Communications, the Sheriff's Office, and the Water Resources Commissioner; and
WHEREAS the water tower was inspected in 2005 and the resulting report indicated that
significant maintenance would be needed for it to remain functional and would require repair/repainting
and safety upgrades to meet current safety regulations; and
WHEREAS repairs to the foundation were performed in FY2011; and
WHEREAS in the summer of 2011, the project was bid twice, both times resulting in a single bid
well in excess of the project budget (above $600,000; project budget was $350,000); and
WHEREAS on 09/22/11 the BOC approved MR 11209 authorizing restoration of the structural
foundation with an appropriation of $60,000 from the Capital Improvement Program/Building Fund
(#40100) and authorizing rebidding of the tank superstructure restoration for a third time; and
WHEREAS this bid solicitation resulted in five bids, the improved bid response attributable to the
attraction of bidders by a more proactive search and providing a longer lead time to perform the work,
which includes superstructure painting, the addition of two County logos, and replacement of safety
components; and
WHEREAS V & T Painting, LLC, of Farmington Hills, Michigan, was the lowest responsible bidder
in the amount of $235,800; and
WHEREAS temporary antennae relocations, tree trimming, and a contingency will be required for
an additional $71,160, bringing the total funds required to $306,960; and
WHEREAS there are some monies remaining from the $60,000 appropriated by MR 11209 that
can be applied towards the $306,960 and thus the additional funding requested is $280,000 (making the
total Water Tower Restoration Project appropriation $340,000); and
WHEREAS the additional funding for the Water Tower Restoration Project in the amount of
$280,000 is available for transfer from the FY 2012 Capital Improvement Program/Building Fund
(#40100) to the Project Work Order Fund (#40400) for the Water Tower Restoration Project.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Board of Commissioners authorizes the
additional funding for Water Tower Restoration Project in the amount of $280,000 to bring the total project
appropriation to $340,000.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Board of Commissioners authorizes the transfer of
additional funding in the amount of $280,000 from the Capital Improvement Program/Building
Improvement Fund (#40100) to the Project Work Order Fund (#40400) for the Water Tower Restoration
Project (#100000001513) as detailed below:
