STATEMENT
Re; Troy Water Supply System
On March 15, 1973 the Oakland County Board of Commissioners by Miscellaneous Resolution
No, 6249 approved the contract between the City of Troy and Oakland County for the above project, which
contract included an estimate of cost prepared by the consulting engineers and dated February 15, 1973.
Said estimate indicated a construction cost of $7,387,600.00 and a total project cost of $9,750,000.00.
Construction bids were received by the Board of Public Works on July 1, 1974. The total of
such bids, including bids previously received by the City of 'Troy for certain "advanced construction",
was $11,048,116.87, which results in a total project cost of $13,600,000.00. An analysis of the bids
by the consulting engineers and the Department of Public Works staff reveals that sufficient competitive
bids were received and that the primary reason for the bids exceeding the estimate of cost Is due to the
302
Commissioners Minutes Continued. September 5, 1974
substantial increase in labor and particularily material costs during the past 16 months,
Therefore, it is necessary that additional county bonds be issued to finance the Troy Water
Supply System.
