3. WATER RESOURCES COMMISSIONER - RESOLUTION TO AUTHORIZE OAKLAND COUNTY
DWRF CITY OF PONTIAC WATER SUPPLY SYSTEM BONDS
The Water Resources Commissioner (WRC) is seeking authorization for the issuance of up to $6 million in
bonds through the State Drinking Water Revolving Fund (DWRF) Loan Program to replace 12,000 water
meters in the City of Pontiac’s Water Supply System, which includes approximately $1 million in principal
forgiveness. Phase I has already come to this committee for replacement of 6,000 water meters, and this is
Phase II. There are many meters that are not readable. When the system was received from Pontiac,
WRC was unsure of how many customers there were, and it was estimated that about a quarter of the
system was not reporting back to their office. That was either due to meters having been removed, broken,
or at vacant homes. This system has data collection components as well as tamperproof features . The
meters have a radio, so t hat if a meter is flawed or broken, it will send notice to the system and to WRC’s
billing office so that the customer can be notified immediately of an issue with their meter. WRC is working
on handling the revenue of the system and is currently going through a shut -off issuance; notices are going
out to people for all bills that are unpaid.

Improvement Plan (CIP). This project addresses the Children’s Village (CV) campus for upgrading several
outdated analog cameras with digital cameras . Additionally, a fiber loop will be put in through the campus

7. FACILITIES MANAGEMENT/FACITILIES PLANNING & ENGINEERING - AUTHORIZATION TO
RECEIVE BIDS FOR RADIO COVERAGE IN COURTHOUSE AND JAIL (PHASE 1)
Facilities Management/Facilities Planning & Engineering (FPE) is seeking authorization for the Purchasing
Division to receive bids for the enhancement of radio coverage in the courthouse and jail. The jail and
courthouse complex is not favorable to radio reception within the building and there are dead spots , which
poses a security risk for the Sheriff’s officers that are trying to communicate amongst each other over radio.
This project will find the dead spots and weak areas, and allow equipment to be installed so there is full
coverage for the officers to co mmunicate. A project manager from FPE will be assigned to the project, and
will work with someone from Information Technology (IT) Radio. B ids will be received for testing throughout
the building, and for a vendor that can do the engineering work a s well as implementation of the system. It
is roughly estimated that the bids will be put out on the MITN Bid System in about 30 days.
Mr. Joss stated that in addition to contractors or vendors getting onto the MITN Bid System and searching
to see what’s ava ilable for bid, they can also become a member for a small fee. The membership will allow
them to enter information as to the type of work they are interested in bidding on and receive a notification
when projects of that nature are posted. Mr. Joss also mentioned that he has been working with his
contracted construction managers regarding work that they bid out to subcontractors. In an effort to provide
notice that the work is up for bid by them, a project description and contact information of the const ruction
manager will be posted on the MITN Bid System.
Dwyer moved to authorize the Purchasing Division to receive bids for Radio Coverage in
Courthouse and Jail (Phase 1). Supported by Middleton .
Motion carried on a voice vote.
