Budget Amendment Yolanda Smith Charles
INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND
WRC’s conference room located on the 2nd floor of Building 95-West has not been renovated for
more than two decades and has not kept pace with the ever-changing business and cultural
landscape in Oakland County. The conference room is utilized by Commissioner Nash and his
team, especially with remote work becoming part of the norm, due to the pandemic, and in some
form continues today.
Technological upgrades are important to allow remote constituents to participate and communicate
effectively and this will increase productivity and utility in a meeting. The lack of such renovations
has made it increasingly more difficult to provide high-quality service to constituents and the public.
The proposed renovations, which are expected to be completed in FY 2023, are consistent with
similar improvements performed at other locations throughout the County campus. Maximizing
space to promote efficiency and productivity are important guideposts in this project.
The attached project cost estimate has been prepared by Facilities Management Project, Manager
Whitney Malarik. The project cost estimate of $173,142.51 includes a $44,889 contingency which is
based on current construction market indicators. The project estimate also includes a breakdown of
costs by line item and category. The project will be paid for through an offset in the planned use of
the fund balance within the Drain Equipment Fund.
POLICY ANALYSIS
The request is for the renovation of the WRC’s conference room located on the 2nd floor of Building
95-West. The conference room is utilized by Commissioner Nash and his team and it has not been
renovated for more than two decades, making technology, etc., obsolete. The technological
upgrades are important to allow remote constituents to participate and communicate effectively and
will increase productivity and utility during meetings. The proposed renovations, which are expected
to be completed in FY 2023, are consistent with similar improvements performed at other locations
throughout the County campus.
WRC, Facilities and Purchasing competitively bid all components of this project in compliance with
policies and procedures. All vendors are competitively bid annual contractors. OC IT was involved
as Thumb Communications and Third Coast Technology are both IT competitively bid annual
contractors and the technology proposed is per IT specified standards. The project cost estimate of
$173,142.51 includes a $44,889 contingency which is based on current construction market
indicators. The project will be funded through an offset in the planned use of the fund balance within
the Drain Equipment Fund.
The funding in the amount of $173,142.51(not-to-exceed) is available from the Drain Equipment
Fund (FND63900) to the Project Work Order Fund (FND40400) for the WRC Conference Room
Renovation Project (PROJ17294). A budget amendment is required as reflected in the Schedule A-
Budget Amendment.
BUDGET AMENDMENT REQUIRED: Yes

OAKLAND COUNTY
WATER RESOURCES COMMISSIONER MEMORANDUM
TO: Commissioner Yolanda Smith Charles, Chairperson
Economic Development and Infrastructure Committee
FROM: Jim Nash, Water Resources Commissioner
SUBJECT: Renovations to WRC Conference Room at Bldg. 95-West
DATE: May 3, 2023
It’s been more than two decades since the conference room utilized by me and my team has been
renovated. The conference room has not kept pace with the ever-changing business and cultural
landscape in Oakland County. Some of these changes were abrupt and were occasioned by an
unexpected worldwide pandemic. Remote work became the norm and in some form continues today.
That’s why it is so important that the technology associated with the conference room is brought up to
date. Without technological upgrades that allow remote constituents to participate effectively, it is
difficult, if not impossible, for them to clearly see, hear, and understand what’s going on in a meeting.
In a representative democracy, where votes are often impactful, it is imperative that remote attendees
are able to fully participate.
It also is important to emphasize that the proposed renovations, which are expected to be completed
in FY 2023, are consistent with what has been provided and utilized in other buildings throughout the
Oakland County campus. Maximizing space to promote efficiency and productivity are important
guideposts for my office in this endeavor. As a public servant charged with the responsibility of
providing one of our most precious natural resources – clean, fresh water – one would be hard
pressed to envision a more critical focus.
I have attached a project cost estimate prepared by Facilities Management Project Manager Whitney
Malarik. The $173,142.51 cost estimate includes a $44,889 contingency which is based on current
construction market indicators. Ms. Malarik’s estimate also includes a helpful breakdown of costs by
line-item and category. The project will be paid for through an offset in the planned use of the fund
balance within the Drain Equipment Fund.
Requested Action: Authorize the appropriation of a not-to-exceed amount of $173,142.51 for the
purpose of renovating the WRC conference room located on the 2nd floor of Building 95-West.
