(PEX) and Oakland County have agreed to Amendment 2026-1 to the Public Transportation Agreement set forth in the attached Amendment, to add a new subsection (f) to Section 8 of Exhibit B. The parties acknowledge that Exhibit B Budget subsection 8 (f) was inadvertently omitted from the contract. POLICY ANALYSIS On October 30, 2025, the Board of Commissioners approved Resolution #2025-5834 with PEX to provide public transportation services in Oakland County. After execution, it was discovered that Subsection 8. (f) of Exhibit B (PEX Budget) was inadvertently omitted from the Contract. This amendment corrects that omission. • This subsection addresses compliance with Oakland County’s Competitive Bid Requirements when hiring third parties to complete facility work. • There is no financial impact from this amendment.
