IN RE: DEPARTMENT OF FACILITIES MANAGEMENT — REQUEST TO RETAIN THE
SERVICES OF FRIEDMAN INTEGRATED REAL ESTATE SOLUTIONS TO ASSIST IN THE
SALE OF THE WEST OAKLAND OFFICE BUILDING IN WALLED LAKE, MICHIGAN
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS, the County was approached in 2011 by a party representing the
MacDonald's Corporation which was interested in purchasing the West Oakland Office Building
(WOOB) property at 1010 East West Maple for $675,000 and relocating their Walled Lake
restaurant to the WOOB site; and
WHEREAS, Facilities Management requested approval from the Board of
Commissioners to sell WOOB at that time (MR#11077); and
WHEREAS, the party originally interested in purchasing WOOB let their Purchase
Agreement expire, effectively voiding their original offer; and
WHEREAS, the sale of WOOB is consistent with the County's efforts over the past
several years to consolidate departmental operations into other existing facilities and the
departments with operations in WOOB have and will achieve operating efficiencies as a result;
and
WHEREAS, the County has now moved the departments which used to have operations
in WOOB to other locations; and
WHEREAS, the parcel exchange between the County of Oakland and Walled Lake,
Michigan, will allow for the relocation of the IT fiber optic OakNet hub once WOOB is sold; and
WHEREAS, the County will save $135,000/year in maintenance and utility costs by
selling WOOB, while avoiding several needed capital improvements to the building, and incurring
one-time move-related costs estimated at $150,000; and
WHEREAS, Facilities Management received the Planning & Building Committee's
approval to sell WOOB and competitively select a listing service; and
WHEREAS, Facilities Management, on the advice of Purchasing, collected information
on five listing services pre-selected by soliciting recommendations from several appraisal and
property management firms; and
WHEREAS, the listing services charge a commission for assisting with the sale of
property and everyone except Friedman Integrated Real Estate Solutions — which offered 5% —
offered a rate of 6%; and
WHEREAS, Friedman Integrated Real Estate Solutions provided a marketing approach
more thorough than the majority of others.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of
Commissioners hereby approves and authorizes retaining the services of Friedman Integrated
Real Estate Solutions to assist with the sale of the West Oakland Office Building (WOOB) at 1010
East West Maple to the general public, and bringing a negotiated sale agreement to the Board of
Commissioners for review and approval.
