MICHIGAN LAND TRUST FUND GRANT - INDEPENDENCE OAKS WETLANDS ACQUISITION:
As part of the Michigan Land Trust Fund Wetlands Acquisition grant, staff has
been working on the purchase of a 20-acre portion of the 40-acre parcel owned
by the Township of Independence adjacent to Independence Oaks. The township had
acquired this land from the Edward Levy Company with the understanding that the
Parks Commission would purchase it from them when our grant was finalized.
The Department of Natural Resources has indicated that this parcel would
be considered an extension of the wetlands property the Commission has already
purchased under the grant and, therefore, a similar price offer would be reasonable
and fair. Staff is recommending purchasing this 20-acre parcel at a price of
$2,375 per acre, which is the same price we purchased other adjacent parcels under
the grant. This purchase would be contingent upon the final approval and concur-
rence by the Department of Natural Resources.
Moved by Mr. Kuhn, supported by Mrs. Stanley to approve the
purchase of 20 acres of wetlands adjacent to Independence Oaks
from the Township of Independence at a price of $2,375 per
acre. Funds for this purchase will come from the Michigan
Land Trust Fund Grant #603 upon final approval and concurrence
by the Department of Natural Resources.
AYES: Kuhn, Lewis, Nelson, Olsen, Stanley, Vogt, Wint, Fox (8)
NAYS: (0)
A sufficient majority having voted therefor, the motion carried.
ADMINISTRATION OFFICE BUILDING ARCHITECT:
Staff has reviewed all of the proposals received, and after visiting several firms
personally, has narrowed the field to two firms. Those firms are as follows
Grainger Associates, Inc. $31,000.00
Flint
The Miller Group 35,454.00
West Bloomfield
3 - 2
(Commission Meeting, June 18, 1986)
Staff felt both firms could do the job and would be sensitive to both aesthetics
and the Commission's purpose, but preferred the low bidder because they are an
older more established firm with in-house collaboration for electrical, plumbing,
etc.
Moved by Mr. Lewis, supported by Mr. Kuhn to award the contract
for architectural plans for the new administrative office
building to Grainger Associates, Inc., in the amount of $31,000.
ROLL CALL VOTE:
AYES: Lewis, Nelson, Olsen, Stanley, Vogt, Wint, Fox, Kuhn (8)
NAYS: (0)
A sufficient majority having voted therefor, the motion carried.

purchase:
Moved by Mr. Nelson, supported by Mr. Vogt, to award the bid for
the installation of insulation in the attic of the Glen Oaks
Clubhouse to the only bidder meeting all bid requirements,
Avon Insulation, in the amount of $13,580.
ROLL CALL VOTE:
