4. FACILITIES MANAGEMENT/FACILITIES PLANNING & ENGINEERING – AUTHORIZATION TO
RECEIVE BIDS FOR OAKLAND POINTE ROOF REPLACEMENT PROJECT
The Oakland Pointe East and West roofs were installed in 1989, and they are currently ou t of warranty and
well past their expected useful life. Each roof is approximately 40,200 square feet, and they have multiple
leaks. Facilities Management spends about $40,000 a year on repairs. Facilities Management/Facilities

Pointe facility. The estimated cost of this project is $1,530,000, which is included in the CIP/Building
Projects section, Line Item #1 for the FY 2013 and FY 2014 Budget. Facilities Management Planning &

5. FACILITIES MANAGEMENT/FACILITIES PLANNING & ENGINEERING – AUTHORIZATION TO
RECEIVE BIDS FOR STEAM TUNNEL REPLACEMENT PROJECT
The Oakland County Community Mental Health Authority (OCCMHA) is leasing the old Medical Care facility
from the County, and after extensive renovations, they will be moving in and beginning 24/7 operations by
the end of the year. It is estimated that full replacement of that tunnel could cost $3 Million, which is
budgeted in the Capital Improvement P roject of the County budget. Mr. Holdsworth showed the committee
members a diagram that shows the location of the steam tunnel, which goes under the Medical Care
Facility. To avoid complications with the OCCMHA’s plans to begin 24/7 operations, Facilities Planning &
Engineering is proposing to construct a bypass (a direct burial steam line around the Medical Care Facility)
for the tunnel around the building this summer; therefore, work needs to begin by spring , and bids need to
be issued ASAP. Facilities Management i s requesting authorization for the Purchasing Division to receive
bids for the Steam Tunnel Replacement Project to install the bypass, which is estimated at $420,000, which
will save some money and prevent the need to completely replace the tunnel at this time.

6. FACILITIES MANAGEMENT – LEASE FOR BOY SCOUTS OF AMERICA BUILDING BY OAKLAND
COUNTY CREDIT UNION
Last year the Oakland County Board of Commissioners adopted MR #12331, which authorized the
execution of a Bill of Sale to Oakla nd County from the Clinton Valley Boy Scouts of America, Inc. to allow
the County to take possession of the 9,379 square foot Boy Scouts of America building on the County’s
campus.
The Oakland County Credit Union (OCCU) is planning on making some extensiv e renovations to their
building on Oakland County’s campus in March of this year. While these renovations are being done they
need a temporary location from which to conduct business. When they found out that the Boy Scouts of
America building was vacant, they had approached the County to request to use that building and the
parking lot temporarily while the renovations to their building are being done.
The OCCU will also make some minor renovations to the interior of the building for the purpose of thei r
lobby and office operations, and they will make them in accordance with County standards, at no cost to the
County.
Facilities Management is now seeking authorization for the execution of a lease between Oakland County
and the OCCU to allow the OCCU to have use of the Boy Scouts of America building and parking lot. The
lease will commence on the date this resolution is adopted until December 31, 2013. The County will pay
all utilities for premises, including electric, gas, water, sewer, trash removal, snow and ice removal, lawn
care, grounds maintenance and services and parking lot maintenance. The OCCU will then reimburse the
County for these services, in lieu of rent.
