AGENDA ITEMS
2. FACILITIES MANAGEMENT/FACILITIES MAINTENANCE & OPERATIONS – AUTHORIZATION TO
RECEIVE BIDS FOR INFO RMATION TECHNOLOGY UPS SYSTEM REPLACEMENT PROJECT
Facilities Management/Facilities Maintenance & Operations is seeking authorization to issue a Request for
Proposal and receive bids for the Information Technology Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) System. Mr.

addition, it has been difficult to get replacement parts for it, when needed. This supply system supports the
ongoing operations of the main computer room at Information Technology and protects the equipment f rom
electrical power irregularities and outages. The projected budget for this project is $488,000. There is
$375,000 allocated in the 2011 Capital Improvement Program (CIP) budget in the Building Projects Section,
Item #3 for this Replacement Project, a nd $113,000 is available from the Facilities Maintenance &
Operations (FM&O) Fund. Mr. Poisson indicated that it is possible they could sell the old UPS System for
parts.
Nuccio moved approval of the attached suggested resolution. Supported by Crawford.
Motion carried unanimously on a roll call vote with Jackson absent.
1. DEPARTMENT OF FACILITIES MANAGEMENT – REQUEST TO RETAIN THE SERVICES OF
FRIEDMAN INTEGRATED REAL ESTATE SOLUTIONS TO ASSIST IN THE SALE OF THE WEST
OAKLAND OFFICE BUILDING IN WALLED LA KE, MICHIGAN
Oakland County was approached in 201 1 by a party representing the M cDonald’s Corporation to purchase
the West Oakland Office Building (WOOB) property at 1010 East West Maple for $675,000 to relocate their
Walled Lake restaurant to this site. It was approved through MR #11077, and the County moved its offices
from that building to other locations. The McDonald’s Corporation let their Purchase Agreement expire
thereby voiding their original offer. It has been determined that the County will s ave approximately
$135,000/yr. in maintenance and utility costs by selling WOOB and avoiding further capital improvements to
the building.
Facilities Management is seeking approval to authorize and retain the services of Friedman Integrated Real
Estate Solutions to help with the sale of the West Oakland Office Building (WOOB) at 1010 East West
Maple to the general public. Once a sale agreement is negotiated, Facilities Management will bring it to the
Board of Commissioners for review and approval. There has been a parcel exchange agreement between
the County and the City of Walled Lake, Michigan to allow for the relocation of the IT fiber optic OakNet hub
once this building is sold.
Chairperson Potts requested that Mr. Holdsworth designate one of his sta ff within Facilities Management to
monitor the progress closely on this project and update the Planning and Building Committee on it.
Crawford moved approval of the attached suggested resolution . Supported by McGillivray.
Motion carried unanimously on a roll call vote with Jackson absent.
