By: Commissioner Serra - 18th District
In Re: Made in the USA
To: The Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS the Oakland County Commission finds that it is in the best interest of
the United States and the County of Oakland to promote the purchase and use of goods and
services manufactured and/or originating in the United States and;
WHEREAS the county Purchasing Department relies on a competitive bid process
and prefers not to make recommendations for purchases based upon the nation of origin
but, rather, relies heavily on the bid itself and;
WHEREAS U.S. made products are often available at a price which is comparable
to foreign goods but not always at a lower price than foreign goods;
NOW THEREFORE IT IS RESOLVED THAT
When Oakland County makes a purchase of $10,000.00 or more, the County of
Oakland shall give preference to products manufactured in the United States when they are
available at reasonable prices. The price of United States' goods shall be considered
reasonable if they are six percent or less above the cost of imported goods.
FURTHER, it is resolved that goods manufactured or services provided by businesses
located in Oakland County shall be deemed reasonable if they are eight percent or less
above the cost of imported goods.
FURTHER, it is resolved that goods manufactured or services provided by businesses
located in Oakland County and which are owned by minority or female individuals shall be
deemed reasonable if they are ten percent or less above the cost of imported goods.
FURTHER, it is resolved that those who submit bids to provide goods for any
County Department or agency shall include in the bid specifications information regarding
the country of origin of all products, components and parts so that this information can be
readily and understandably considered by those responsible for deciding which products to
buy.
SPONSOR
FURTHER, it is resolved that those who contract or subcontract with Oakland
County be advised of the county's preference for goods manufactured in the United States
and those with contracts or subcontracts greater than $25,000 shall be expected to adhere
to the same preference within the guidelines set forth herein.
Mr. Chairperson, we move the adoption of the foregoing resolution.
