OAKLAND COUNTY
WATER RESOURCES COMMISSIONER MEMORANDUM
TO: Budget Task Force
FROM: Navid H. Mehram, P.E., Operations Engineer
SUBJECT: 522 South Opdyke Road, Pontiac, Michigan Building Renovations
DATE: September 4, 2014
The Water Resources Commissioner's Office (WRC) is requesting Budget Task Force approval and
the establishment of proper accounting requirements to fund the 522 S Opdyke, Pontiac building
renovations. Upon budget task force approval, we would like Fiscal Services to establish a Project ID
for allocation of the project costs in accordance with the attached allocation table.
The WRC plans to occupy the building located at 522 S Opdyke, Pontiac with two operations and
maintenance units. The units are System Controls, Water Metering and Water Maintenance for the
northern portion of Oakland County. The System Control Unit is currently operating out of the Pump
Maintenance building located at 4860 Pontiac Lake Road, Waterford. The existing building has limited
space which makes it very difficult for both the Pump Maintenance Unit (PM U) and the System
Controls Unit (SCU) to operate within. Starting October 1, 2014, the WRC will be taking responsibility
of the maintenance for the City of Pontiac water system. This new system will require additional staff
and facilities. In order to optimize the location of WRC maintenance personnel, to have sufficient
facilities for materials, equipment and offices and to be able to respond to emergencies within the
region more efficiently, the WRC is requesting approval to transfer funds from the enterprise funds
identified in the attached allocation to the Pontiac Sewer Fund for the capital improvements
necessary at 522 Opdyke.
Project Background
The 522 S Opdyke building was originally constructed 1962. The building functioned as the City
of Pontiac Water and Sewer building, all of water and sewer maintenance staff and billing
services operated out of this building. When the Act 342 agreement between City of Pontiac and
Oakland County was established in 2012, the entire water and sewer systems and associated
assets were transferred to Oakland County. The Oakland County Water Resources
Commissioner plans to occupy the building for use of the SCU and WMU personnel who operate
and maintain water and sewer systems in the northern portion of the county. This reorganization
of units will allow the O&M division to be more efficient by making it more centralized to the
service area and allow better customer service to those comminutes.
The building at 522 Opdyke Road in Pontiac was constructed and designed to operate for a
water and sewer utility provider. The building was found to be sound condition. No major
renovations or improvements have been made to the building since the time of construction. The
majority of the equipment and building features within the shell of the building have outlived their
useful life making the cost of maintenance equal to, or greater than, the cost of replacement. The

WRC, working with Hartman Architects, developed a list of improvements that are required to
allow the occupancy of the WRC staff.
Existing building condition and assessment:
• Roof
o The existing building roof is more than 20 years old and experiences leaks during
rain events. The WRC contracted Butcher and Butcher Construction Company to
evaluate the existing roof condition. The condition assessment indicated the roof
has less than one year of service life remaining. The Butcher and Butcher report is
available upon request.
• Architectural
o The existing building layout related to the office area is very inefficient.
o The carpet, ceiling tiles and floor tiles are original to the building. The carpet is worn
beyond its useful life. The ceiling tiles are damaged due to roof leaks and age. The
floor tiles are anticipated to have asbestos and could be damaging to human health.
• Electrical
o The building light fixtures are original to the building and are very inefficient.
o The revised layout of the building will impact the existing electrical layout.
o Electrical outlets currently are not sufficient to service the new occupancy of the
building and more outlet sources are required.
O The electrical distribution system in the basement has inadequate space for
additional loads and has outlived its useful life.
• HVAC
o The building heat source is the original boiler system. The building currently has
minimal ventilation. Air conditioning is managed by several window units throughout
the facility.
• Network
o The only computer network service within the building is a wireless network
supplied by a commercial supplier (AT&T). This system is not sufficient for the
proposed number of users and does not meet Oakland County IT requirements.
• Security
o No security for the building currently exists.
• Site Work
o Minor modifications are required to allow for better security and personnel safety.
The proposed building and site renovations:
• Roof
o Remove and replace the entire membrane roof system.
• Architectural
o Revise office room layout to allow for more space and efficient operation.
o Remove and replace carpet and ceiling tiles.
o Remove or cover existing tile floor with new vinyl tile.
o Add a new women's locker room and shower.
o Revise the existing single men's and women's bathroom to be handicap accessible.
O Partition the existing storage area to allow for a SCU cabinet construction area.
O Partition the garage area to create caged storage space for WMU meters and
miscellaneous inventory.
