Item #7 PARK RESIDENCES LIGHTNING ARRESTERS It is recommended that lightning arresters be installed at the Springfield, Groveland, and Independence Park residences. The residence at Springfield has been struck by lightning twice and we are fortunate there has been no injury or damage other than a television set. The cost for the installation of these arresters is estimated at: Springfield -Oaks $ 850. Groveland-Oaks 750. Independence -Oaks 1050. Item #8 GROVELAND-OAKS ELECTRICAL BIDS Bids were received for the updating of the electrical at the Groveland Concession Stand last week. A recommendation will be available at the Friday meeting. Item #9 WATERFORD-OAKS PHASE I SITE WORK It is recommended that the Phase I Development Site Work bid awarded to Briar Building, based upon State approval, be officially rejected and new bids for the Site Work be received along with bids for the final excavation and concrete work for the pool complex. This requires official approval by the Commission. As you are aware, I discussed this matter with most of you over the telephone for tentative approval. The attached letter explains th-e reasons in detail. OF h - 9 U d '�jcfliGA�. WI LLIAM M. SPINELLI Deputy County Executive DANIEL T.

Director Division Director (313) 858-0131 September 30, 1975 OAKLAND COUNTY PARKS & RECREATION COMM. Oakland County Parks and Recreation Commission SEP 30 1975 2800 Watkins Lake Road Pontiac, Michigan 48054 J U C E I V E D Re: Waterford -Oaks Phase I Development Site Work, County Project 75-13SW Dear Commissioners: By letter dated September 11, this office with the Architect and Construction Manager asked for award of contract for the Site Work portion of the referenced project to Briar Building Company in the amount of $92,700. This was accepted and,a contract awarded contingent upon State approval. The primary reason that this project had been broken into phases was to allow certain portions of the project to start earlier while the design work was being completed on other portions. Due to the State JCO Committee's failure to act on the Grant for this project to date, the benefit of awarding the Site Work Contract separately has not been achieved. The next portion of the contract is now ready to go out for bids and it would greatly simplify the coordination required between the excavation required for the site work and that for the pool if the work was all done by one contractor. Bids for the final excavation and concrete work for the pool complex is scheduled to be received on October 16, and the site work could be added to that bid without any apparent delay in either the design or start of construction. The estimate for the next portion without the site work is $258,243. The site work estimate was $165,000 but actual bids received were considerably below that estimate. Bids for the mechanical and electrical trades are scheduled to be received the week of October 20 and the estimates for those trades are $427,000 and $72,000, respectively. Public Works Building, One Public Works Drive, Pontiac, Michigan 48054 (313) 858-0125 -2- September 30, 1975 It is the recommendation now of this Office, the Architect and Construction Manager that the bids for the Site Work be rejected and that portion of the project be included with the Concrete Trade Bid. This would simplify coordination, eliminate possible delays in construction which will be critical due to the late start in getting this project started, and will not apparently delay the completion or cost of the project.

Bruce Sinclair - Barton-Malow Company James Beer - Department of Natural Resources Item #10 SENATE BILL 1079 This bill has been introduced for the purpose of putting the Road Commission and the Parks and Recreation Commission under the County Executive.

Washington Clarkston, Michigan 48016 September 25, 1975 Dear Commissioners, I wish to express my sincere appreciation to each of you for allowing the Nli.chigan State Association of the National Campers and Hikers Association to use Groveland Oaks Park for our Fall Campout. The mobile recreation units were enjoyed by many children and adults. Campers From other parts of the state, Ohio and Canada could not believe the facilities you had placed at our disposal. The Oakland County Security Division helped to strengthen our own communication and security committee. My wife and I would like to commend your employees whom we had the pleasure of working with during the weekend: Arnold Johnson, Clyde Herb, Harry Fletcher, Terry Scarborough and Jerry Lee. They were always courteous and wore smiles of friendliness during the endless hours of work. We are fortunate that you have these dedicated men in your employee.
