Resolution Yolanda Smith Charles
INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND
Oakland County purchased property in downtown Pontiac including two buildings and surrounding
structures and parcels in 2023 per Miscellaneous Resolutions 2023-3203 and 2023-3241. 31 E
Judson, approximately 200,000 square feet, is vacant and requires renovations prior to being
occupied by County departments and 51111 Woodward, approximately 200,000 square feet, is
substantially occupied and has usable space that can be utilized by County departments if needed,
and would require some alterations.
An Architect/Engineer Professional Services RFQ was issued via Oakland County Purchasing for
selection of an Architect/Engineer to provide Architect/Engineering and Urban Planning Services
through the competitive bidding process. HED of Royal Oak, MI was the most qualified bidder.
Funding in the amount of $3,230,000 is available for transfer from the Strategic Investment Plan
Assigned Fund Balance (GL Account 383554) to the Pontiac Development Fund (#42110) for
Architect/Engineering and Urban Planning Services.
POLICY ANALYSIS
This is a request to appropriate funding for Architect/Engineer (A/E) and Urban Planning services for
the Pontiac Redevelopment Project. This resolution authorizes the County Executive Office to
execute the professional services contract with HED for A/E and Urban Planning services. The
contract term is March 1, 2024 through February 28, 2027 with a not to exceed amount of
$3,230,000.
From the RFQ:
Urban planning will be critical to the overall project development process and ultimately the success
of revitalizing Pontiac’s city center. As the County embarks on this redevelopment initiative, focus on
land use and the built environment is essential. The built environment could include water,
transportation, circulation, and accessibility. The interests of residents, businesses and
communities are also forefront in the broader considerations of urban planning. Another driving
concern is public partnerships and welfare, with consideration to master plans on social and
economic activities. Also, sustainable planning and development shall be overlayed on the planning
endeavors.
The A/E firm is being asked to provide urban planning qualifications to assist with the developer
master plan and scope development. Scope development could involve the creation of a detailed
development plan for the site, with refined physical, programmatic elements, and design
guidelines.
