Approved (No Committee) - Heather Mason (5/17/2107)
Corporation Counsel:
Approved with Modification — Mary Anne Jerge (5/23/2017)
"This contract does not have any term — is this MDOC grant for one year, two years, three years?
The length of the contract needs to be clearly defined. The contract and Exhibits have the following
general language that needs to be specified before submitted to 130C.
Paragraph 3.7 "applicable for the fiscal year" does not define what fiscal year. Paragraph 10
— Effective Date and Duration does not have any dates in the section — effective when
approved by BOC and terminates when one of the party terminates but does not define
length of the agreement.
• Section 3.7 added fiscal years 2017, 2018, and 2019.
• Section 3.10 added the length of the agreement through Fiscal year 2019 also added
the last sentence to read: If funding through the Michigan Department of
Corrections/ Office of Community Corrections grant is not awarded this grant shall
terminate under the notice provisions provided in section 12.
• In section 12 the cancellation agreement was changed from 90 to 30 days.
Exhibit I — not to exceed amount "for a fiscal year." Again, which fiscal years?
• The not to exceed amounts were added for FY17, FY18 and FY19
• Exhibit II does not have any duration dates.
• These two sentences were added to the opening paragraph. The grant may he
renewed yearly. This agreement shall remain in effect through FY19 unless
terminated according to provisions in section 12.
The length and term of the contract should be more clearly defined in Paragraph 10 of the contract.
• Barb Hankey will include a section in the interlocal requiring OCHN employees to be given
and comply with the Vendor Handbook.
• To address the concern, a new section 12 has been added to the Inter-local
agreement.
• There was a typo in 10.3. The section should refer to termination provisions in section 13,
not section 12."
