2. FACILITIES MANAGEMENT/FACILIT IES PLANNING & ENGINEERING – WATER TOWER
RESTORATION PROJECT
Mr. Hunter indicated that the water tower was constructed in 1961 to help with the water pressure to the
Courthouse Tower building. Since that time water pressure by the City of Pontiac has improved, and the water
tower now serves as a back -up for possible loss of water pressure or pump malfunct ion. An inspection was
done in 2005, and it was determined that significant maintenance such as repair/repainting of the steel parts,
as well as safety upgrades to meet current safety regulations would be necessary to remain functional. The
project was bid twice, and only one bid response was received, and it was higher than the $350,000 estimate
that was included in the Capital Improvement Program. The current estimated cost of the Water Tower
Restoration Project is $420,000, which includes $361,830 for restoration, $23,000 for design consultant,
$9,200 for a logo and $25,970 for contingency.
Weipert moved to report to the Finance Committee with the recommendation that funding for the total
project cost of 420,000, including contingency, be approved. Supported by Runestad.

4. DEPARTMENT OF FACILITIES MANAGEMENT/FACILITIES PLANNING & ENGINEERING –
AUTHORIZATION TO RECEIVE BIDS FOR REPAVING OF OAK POINTE NORTHEAST AND
SOUTHEAST PARKING LOTS
Facilities Management is seeking committee approval to receive bids for the repaving of Oak Pointe Northeast
and Southeast Parking Lots. This project was originally projected for 2014; however, since the recent
relocations to Oak Pointe of Community Correction s and the Sheriff’s “Results” program have caused an
increase of vehicle traffic on site, the four parking lots are subjected to increased wear and tear. The lots are
now in very poor condition, as they have not been repaved since 1996. This project woul d be for repaving the
northeast and southeast parking lots. Facilities Management are proposing closing the entrance drive from
Elizabeth Lake Road and create two new entrances, one at either end of the property, one that will come into
the two east lots and one that would come into the two west lots.
Woodward moved to authorize Facilities Management to receive bids for the repaving of Oak Pointe
Northeast and Southeast Parking Lots. Supported by Jackson.
Motion carried unanimously on a roll call vote with Runestad, Crawford and Nuccio absent.
