WATER TOWER - SPRINGFIELD OAKS ACTIVITIES CENTER:
Per Commission direction, staff researched the requirements to isolate the domestic water supply for the
activities building, 4-H fair buildings, and campground area from the current water tower supply at Springfield
Oaks, leaving the water tower solely for the building's sprinkler system in case of fire.
Estimates to install a new 6" well, including supply tanks for the livestock barns and the activities center, were
approximately $17,000. Also, cost savings on the repair of the water tower as a result of installing the
separate water supply were not significantly decreased. Therefore, staff did not recommend installation of
the new well, but continue with the plans to repair and repaint the interior and exterior of the water tower.
Commission directed staff to have a comprehensive test performed on the well water at the site; and if the test
is satisfactory, pursue the separate water system, plus continue to research the state law for alternative
methods for the fire protection of the building.
MANAGER'S REPORT:
In addition to the Manager's Report filed in the agenda, the following was noted:
---Chief of Administration Frank Trionfi explained that requests for quotations are being sent out for a point
of sale and access control system to be installed for use at the two waterparks for automation of ticket sales
and access control in the main gates. Future plans included expansion of the program to the golf courses and
parks. Total projected cost is approximately $65,000.
3-4
(Commission Meeting, February 21, 1996)
---The Commission/staff retreat is now being planned as a one day work session to be held at the Addison
Oaks Conference Center from 9 a.m. until 4 p.m. on Friday, April 19, 1996. Suggested topics for discussion
should be given to Manager Richard as soon as possible.
---Staff was directed to contact either the Oakland Press or Corporation Counsel to investigate the reported
lawsuit involving Oakland Schools and one of the showmobiles.
---Staff has received an opinion from Corporation Counsel in response to our inquiry on meeting safety path
ordinances set by local government. In effect, the opinion states that since Oakland County Parks and
Recreation was established by the state's Public Act 261, we are not subject to local governing rules for safety
paths.
---Residents of Greening Road adjacent to Glen Oaks have been invited to attend the March 6 Commission
meeting. Staff will present a recommendation on participation in the cost assessment of the road paving
project to the board at that time.
OLD BUSINESS:
Commissioner Pernick requested the minutes of the February 7 Commission meeting be changed as follows:
On page 3 - 2, under the heading of Bids, change the motion for the purchase of a Bush
Wacker to include the phrase "low bidder" before the vendor's name, Munn Ford Tractor.
The next Commission meeting is scheduled for 9 a.m. on Wednesday, March 6, 1996.
The meeting was adjourned at 11:14 a.m.

ITEM #5
GREENING ROAD
GLEN OAKS GOLF COURSE
On November 1, the Commission was addressed by a group of citizens from
Farmington Hills regarding the Greening Road paving project recently completed in
their area adjacent to the Glen Oaks Golf Course.
On that date the Commission directed staff to do more research on the usage of
Greening Road by the Commission employees, plus contact the City of Farmington Hills
for additional information on the method of assessment. As you are aware, the county
park system, being a separate entity under Public Act 261 is not subject to local
assessments on their facilities.
As a review, the City of Farmington Hills has requested the Commission pay an
assessment based on 1,450 feet of frontage on Greening Road, which amounts to 14.5
units of benefit. This cost, based upon the final bids received by the City, is $4,383.30
per unit, for a total cost to the Commission of $63,557.85.
After staff review of the amount of road usage and the number of times we use
the gated area per year (approximately 8 - 10 days), our recommendation is to pay for
one unit -of -benefit cost, which would be $4,383.30, since the one lot is the only access
we have along Greening Road.
Staff feels the decision made on this project will set a policy for future park
requests.
Parks staff and members of the Farmington Hills Public Service Department will
be present to answer any questions you may have.

RE: Glen Oaks Subdivision, Paving and Drainage Program - S.A.D. C-268
Greening Assessments
Dear Joe:
As per our phone conversation of November 7, 1995 when the preliminary assessment roll was
prepared for the paving of the Glen Oaks Subdivision, the Glen Oaks Golf Course with 1450 feet
of frontage on Greening Street was considered as a possible participant in the amount of 14.5
units of benefit. (This would relate to 14.50 homesites with 100 foot frontages.) This is
consistent with our letter to your office of December 15, 1993. With the final bids being
received, the unit assessment without Glen Oaks Golf Course participation was adjusted to
$4,383.30 per homesite unit. Note that the City is contributing for its 1,120 ft. of frontage in
the amount of 11.2 units. This amounts to $49092.96. In addition, separately, the City is
providing an additional $43,271.23 which covers the inspection and engineering costs, as well
as 5 % of the construction costs of the overall project.

ITEM #6
UNDERGROUND STORAGE TANK CLEAN-UP
SPRINGFIELD GOLF COURSE
For the past four years staff has been involved in the process of upgrading our fuel
storage system and investigating the extent of contamination at Springfield Oaks Golf Course.
To date, the old tanks and equipment were removed, 50 yards of soil were removed, 2
hydrogeologic studies have been conducted and all information has been sent to the Michigan
Department of Environmental Quality (formerly DNR).
The total cost associated with this process to date at Springfield is $74,959, of which
$28,839.47 is in the process of being refunded from MUSTFA.
Since the last hydrogeological report was submitted to the MDEQ, the next reporting
requirement is a Final Assessment Report. This Final Assessment Report must be submitted to
the MDEQ prior to October 1, 1996. The Final Assessment Report must also contain a
Corrective Action Plan and a Tier II Evaluation. A Tier II evaluation is an assessment of
available site data based on protection of human health and environmental resources using the
Risk Based Corrective Action Plan.
Attached is a breakdown of the "Scope of Work" required to complete the Final
Assessment Report.
Soil and Materials Engineers, Inc. of Plymouth has conducted the prior two
hydrogeological studies for the site and were recently (January, 1996) again awarded the contract
for these types of soil studies.
Soil and Materials Engineers quoted a price of $23,000 based on the work to be
completed and their present contract with Oakland County.
Staff recommends we proceed with the Final Assessment Report using Soil and Materials
Engineers, Inc.

Scope of Work
The scope of work proposed for this investigation will include the use of a GeoProbe unit
and a field gas chromatograph (GC) to define the extent of impacted soil and groundwater,
installation of permanent monitoring wells beyond the plume of impacted groundwater,
surface water sampling and report preparation. Field activities will be performed in
accordance with standard environmental protocol. Individual tasks are presented below:
Task I - GeoProbe Subsurface Investigation
■ Advance up to 10 core holes utilizing a hydraulically -driven GeoProbe
sampling unit. We anticipate one of the 10 core holes will be conducted
inside the maintenance building. Eight of the 10 cores will be advanced to
approximate depths of 20 feet below ground surface. The remaining two
cores will be advanced to an approximate depth of 45 feet below ground
surface, the anticipated depth of the lower clay unit. A SME representative
will collect up to two groundwater samples from each probe location for
on -site GC analysis of benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene and xylenes (BTEX).
In addition, three shallow clay fill soil samples and two deep native clay
samples will be collected from select GeoProbe cores by a SME
representative. Samples will be collected based on observed site conditions
and organic vapor screening results.
■ Analyze up to 20 groundwater samples for BTEX, two from each probe
location, using a portable GC unit.
■ Survey the completed GeoProbe core locations and other site features to
assist with the evaluation of site conditions.
Task H - Permanent Monitoring Well Installation, Development and Sampling
■ Drill up to three soil borings and install permanent monitoring wells in the
boreholes to monitor groundwater quality beyond the plume of impacted
groundwater. Selection of monitoring well locations will be based on the
results of the GeoProbe and GC sampling investigation, and the surveying
information.
■ Field screen soil samples with an organic vapor analyzer.
■ Survey and develop the three proposed monitoring wells.
■ Collect groundwater elevation measurements from the three proposed and
five existing monitoring wells to evaluate groundwater flow direction and
hydraulic gradient. Collect groundwater samples from the eight monitoring
wells and measure pH and dissolved oxygen content in the field.

Task III - Surface Water Sampling
■ Collect surface water samples from nearby on -site surface water bodies.
The rationale for sampling the surface water bodies is to determine whether
groundwater impact has migrated into the on -site surface water bodies.
Task IV - Laboratory Chemical Analysis
■ Submit up to five soil samples collected during the GeoProbe investigation,
one groundwater sample per monitoring well, for a total of eight
groundwater samples, and two surface water samples to an analytical
laboratory for chemical analysis. The soil and water samples will be
analyzed for BTEX using EPA Method 8020 or 8021 and lead using EPA
Method 7421. Trip blanks, which will accompany the samples during
transport to laboratory, will also be analyzed for BTEX.
Task V - Report Preparation
Assuming the extent of hydrocarbon impact in soil and groundwater has
been defined by the proposed subsurface investigation, SME will prepare a
Tier 2 Evaluation which will be incorporated into a FAR and CAP.

ITEM #8
WATER TOWER
SPRINGFIELD OAKS ACTIVITIES CENTER
Fire Control, Inc., which is the company that services the sprinkler system, was
contacted to review the requirements for the fire protection system.
As per the attached National Fire Protection Association schedule, it is
necessary to have 53,571 gallons of water in storage for fire protection to support the
sprinkler system. Other than the water tower, this could be provided by a lake, stream,
storage tank, cistern, or other containment system. This of course would have to be
available during the winter months, so in our case it would have to be heated. With
these requirements, it is necessary to continue to maintain the tower for the sprinkler
system.
A water sample has been taken to determine if arsenic is present in the water.
Results will be back on Tuesday and made available at the Commission meeting.

ITEM #9
RENTAL TUBES
WATERFORD OAKS AND RED OAKS WATERPARKS
Bids have been requested for 1,400 rental tubes for Waterford Oaks and Red
Oaks Waterparks.
The tubes are used in the wave pools and are available for rent to the public at a
fee of $1.75 for a two-hour period. Three different colors (red, yellow and blue) are
available at specific times intervals:
Yellow tubes are available from II a.m. - 1 p.m., 2 - 4 p.m., and 5 - 7 p.m.
Blue tubes are available from noon - 2 p.m. and 3 - 5 p.m.
Red tubes are available from 1 - 3 p.m. and 4 - 6 p.m.
Tube rental revenue in 1995 was $69,265 at Red Oaks Waterpark and
$37,338.50 at Waterford Oaks Waterpark.
Bids were received as follows:
Sunco Products $12,362.00
California
Talburt & Associates $13,146.00
Missouri
Wm Smith & Associates $17,850.00
Washington
Sea Eagle $34,335.00
New York
Sunco, the low bidder, does not manufacture red inner tubes. They have
replaced the red inner tube with an orange inner tube; however, the orange tube
bleaches out to yellow during the summer season, making it difficult for staff to identify.
Talburt & Associates, the second low bidder, does carry a red inner tube. They
have agreed to match Sunco's price for the red tubes.
Therefore, staff recommends splitting the purchase and awarding Sunco
Products of California the bid for the yellow and blue tubes in the amount of $8,423.82
and awarding Talburt & Associates the bid for the red tubes in the amount of $3,938.18,
for a total purchase price of $12,362.00. Oakland County Purchasing concurs with this
recommendation.
Funds are available in the Waterford Oaks and Red Oaks Waterparks Operating
Budget Recreation Supplies line item.

ITEM #12
OUT -FRONT ROTARY MOWER
GROVELAND OAKS
Staff requests the purchase of an Excel Hustler 4400, zero turn, 72" trim mower with
diesel engine. This mower will replace the six -year old unit with 3,700 hours, that will be used
at the park for the next three to five years with a broom attachment for walks and hard surface
maintenance.
Excel mowing equipment has been used extensively by park operations for the past
sixteen years. We have generally standardized our equipment as a result of the dependability,
customer service and parts availability we have received from the corporation and the local sales
dealer.
The life expectancy of this piece of equipment is 5-8 years, dependent upon use. The
1993 purchase price of a similar mower was $18,672. Excel Industries has upgraded its Model
4400 and replaced it with Model 4420. Bids received are as follows:
W. F. Miller $ 20,062.00
Novi, MI
Excel Industries $ 20,499.00
Hesston, KS
Bill's Tractor Sales $ 22,639.10
Lansing, MI
Toledo Turf No Bid
Toledo, OH
Century Equipment No Bid
Toledo, OH
Club Car No Bid
Livonia
Staff recommends purchase of the Excel Hustler Model 4420 from the low bidder,
W. F. Miller of Novi, in the amount of $20,062. There is $18,500.00 budgeted in the 1996
Operating Equipment Budget for this purchase. The balance of $1,562.00 is available in the
Operating Equipment Contingency.
Staff has followed up in contacting Bill's Tractor Sales of Lansing to question their
inconsistent bidding response regarding Excel Hustler equipment. It was found that there was a
communication concern between them and Oakland County Purchasing. I have been assured this
will not occur in the future.

POLY FLOAT DOCK DRUMS
ORION OAKS
One of the projects that park staff and the Friends of Orion Oaks have been working on is
the construction of a handicap accessible fishing dock on Lake Sixteen. Labor and financial
support from this volunteer group is an integral part of this project.
The dock construction being implemented employs the use of poly drums filled with
polystyrene foam. To complete this project 84 floats will be needed.
Bids were solicited by Purchasing and received as follows:
VENDORICITY
M.
Follansbee Dock System, Inc. $7,791.00
Follansbee, W. VA
Great Lakes Docks and Decks No Bid
Algonac, MI
Game Time/Seavey Corporation No Bid
Holland, MI
Purchasing noted that, "since these poly -floats are only sold on a direct basis from the
manufacturer and as an addition to existing docks, there is only one bid".
Staff concurs with Purchasing to award this purchase to Follansbee Dock Systems of
Follansbee, West VA for the amount of $7,791.00.
Monies for this expenditure are included in the 1996 Capital Improvement Project
Budget for Orion Oaks Park Development.

Royal Treatment For Your Greens
You work hard to make your greens look their best, so you
need a triplex greens mower that will show them off at their
finest — the Jacobsen Greens Kingr"^ IV triplex mower. The
Greens King IV delivers a precision cut with your choice of
11-, 9-, 7- or 5-blade reels for green, tee or fairway applications.
And there's less compaction with the wide flotation tires. Add
the patented Jacobsen Turf Groomer® greens conditioner for
even better results.

liquid -cooled diesel engine or 16-horsepower air-cooled
gas engine.
