OAKLAND COUNTY
WATER RESOURCES COMMISSIONER MEMORANDUM
TO: Phil Weipert, Chairperson
Planning and Building Committee
FROM: Sid Lockhart, P.E.
Chief Engineer
SUBJECT: Intent to Issue Bonds for City of Pontiac Water Supply System Improvements
DATE: June 25, 2015
Recently, the Oakland County Board of Commissioners approved the issuance of up to $12M of bonds with the
majority of the bonds, roughly $7M, being sold through the State Drinking Water Revolving Fund Loan Program
(DVVRF) using Public Act 34 of 2001, as amended. The DWRF bonds will have an interest rate of 2.5% with a 20-
year term. The DWRF bonds also include principle forgiveness of approximately $1.7M. The remainder of the
bonds will be sold on the open market with terms and rates to be determined at the time of sale.
The State Revolving Loan Office is issuing the $7M bonds in two series the first being sold in the third quarter and
the second sale will be issued in the fourth quarter. Our initial resolution did not anticipate the State's decision to
split the bond sales in this manner. Therefore, a new resolution that will authorize the second series of bonds is
attached for the Committees and Board of Commissioners approval.
The bonds will be used to fund a series of water system improvements that are needed for the City of Pontiac's
water infrastructure that the County of Oakland owns and operates through the Water Resources Commissioner's
Office.
Phase 1 of the project involves the construction of replacement water mains, connecting existing water main
networks to improve flow, and also the replacement of approximately 7,000 water meters that will collect and
convey billing and other meter data through a wireless communication system. Please refer to the attached map
showing the proposed project areas. This portion of the work is scheduled to start in the summer of 2015 and will
take about 18 month to complete.
We request that this matter be placed on the July 7, 2015 Planning and Building Committee Agenda. Our intent is
to present the matter to the Finance Committee on July 23, 2015, and receive approval from the full Board of
Commissioners on July 29, 2015. Steve Korth and I will attend these meetings to answer any questions.
Thank you for your assistance.
