IN RE: COMPREHENSIVE TRAFFIC ENGINEERING PROJECT AND GRANT - TRAFFIC IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION OF OAKLAND
COUNTY
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen:
This is the second year of a three year grant under the State Office of Highway Safety
139
Commissioners Minutes Continued. March 18, 1976
Planning for the Comprehensive Traffic Engineering Project to the Traffic Improvement Association
(TIA).
The TA is a private, non-profit erganiaatien created in 1967 by a committee of public
officials, businessmen and community leaders under the provisions of Act No. 27 of the Public Acts
of 1931.
The purpose of this independent, autonomous, self-governing organization is to promote
traffic safety improvements through encouraging and supporting the traffic safety efforts of public
officials, public organizations, schools and civic and business groups.
The Oak'and County Government has been supportive of this organization by appropriating
$20 ,000 annually for several yeas.
Most communities do not have financial resourr ,s svallabe or access to free technical
assistance to resolve traffic engineering probieos nor c. they E:i .i;ploy ttnined traffar engineers.
Most efforts to implement traffic engineerin. improvements have been un-coordinated and
there is no mechanism for developing a master highway system plan on a County-wide basis.
This grant of $123,800 is 6.5%, or $8,600 lower than last year. It runs from 4/1/76 to
3/30/77 and is fully funded by Federal Funds, requiring no County contributions.
These funds will be used to continue to employ a lull time staff and to obtain technical
expertise on a consulting basis (as per attached schedule) in order to reduce Oakland County's traffic
losses. Oakland Courty has been the prime sponsor of this grant.
The Finance Committee, by Lawrence R. Pernick, Chairman, recommends the acceptance of the
foregoing report.

FACILITIES ENGINEERING DIVISION
SELECTION OF ARCHITECT/ENGINEER SERVICES
PROPOSED PROCEDURE
March 8, 1576
On all capital projects requiring the services of architects and/or engineers for which
the estimated design fee exceeds $10,000, the following procedure will be used in selecting the firm is
to be retained by the County.
(/) An announcement will be published in the newspaper (a) used by the Board of Commissioners
for publication of their minutes, stating that the Board of Commissioners (or other County agency,
commission, committee, etc.) will be retaining an architectural and/or engineering firm to provide
design services for a specific project. The announcement will include a brief description of the
project, estimated construction cost, the criteria that will be used for selecting the design firm
and the procedure to be used by the design firm to apply for consideration for the contract for the
project. The announcement will be approved by the committee of the Beard of Commissioners responsible.
for the project prior to publication. In addition, announcements shall be mailed on each occasion to
all firms who have requested such notification within the last 12 months.
(2) Firms applying for consideration will be required to complete a standard questionnaire
(copy attached) which will be the basis of the initial screening of the firms' qualifications for the
design contract for the project.
(3) A selection committee consisting of one person representing the proposed user of the
project, one person representing the County agency responsible for the design and construction of the
facility, one person representing architects (if an architectural contract) or engineers (if an
engineering contract) or both and who are not eligible for consideration for design services on the
project. Other persons can be appointed to the committee if the selection committee members believe
additional input or assistance is needed to evaluate the firms being reviewed, The makeup of the
selection committee must be confirmed by the Planning and Building Committee.
(4) The selection committee will evaluate the firms by reviewing the data submitted ageinsr
the project design criteria and select no less than three firms in order of preference, deemed to be
most highly qualified to perform the required services.
(5) The County agency responsible for the design and construction of the project will
prepare a list of the proposed scope of services to be performed and review the proposed services
with the three firms selected. The County agency can then either negotiate a contract with the most
qualified firm for professional services at a compensation which the agency determines is fair,
competitive and reasonable. Should the agency be unable to negotiate a satisfactory contract with
the firm considered to be the most qualified, at a price the agency determines to be fair, competitive.
and reasonable, negotiations with that firm shall be formally terminated. The agency shall then
undertake negotiations with the second:Bost qualified firm. Failing accord with the second most
qualified firm, the agency shall terminate negotiations. The agency shall then undertake negotiations
with the third most qualified firm. Should the agency be unable to negotiate a satisfactory contract
with any of the selected firms, the agency shall select additional firms in order of their competence
and qualification and continue negotiations in accordance with this section until an agreement is
reached.
An alternate method, if the agency determines that the firms are equally qualified,
would be to ask for price proposals and select the firm submitting the lowest estimated fees.
(6) The firm selected and estimated contract cost will be submitted to the committee of
the Board of Commissioners responsible for the project for approval and forwarding to the full Board
of Commissioners for approval.
