NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners supports the passage of Senate Bill 557 and encourages its enactment without delay.

MISCELLANEOUS RESOLUTION #16155 BY: Finance Committee, Tom Middleton, Chairperson IN RE: FACILITIES MANAGEMENT/FACILITIES PLANNING AND ENGINEERING – PRIORITY 2 BUILDING SECURITY ENHANCEMENTS PROJECT To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen: WHEREAS the Oakland County Sheriff’s Office conducted a building security enhancement review of all major on and off-campus buildings, and subsequently prepared a list of recommendations; and WHEREAS the Facilities Planning and Engineering Division (FPE) subsequently prioritized the Sheriff’s Office list of recommendations into Priority 1, 2, 3, and 4 groupings with the assumption that each grouping would be bid and undertaken in consecutive fiscal years; and WHEREAS preliminary costs for Building Security Enhancements for all four groupings are included in FY 2016 – FY 2025 Capital Improvement Program; and WHEREAS the recommended enhancements included upgrading and expanding the number of security cameras, card scanners, Sheriff’s security stations, site hardening measures (e.g., berms, boulders, fencing and security gates), upgraded security doors, panic alarms, and remodeling of building space to accommodate such security enhancements; and WHEREAS the Facilities Planning and Engineering (FPE) Division in conjunction with the Purchasing Division issued Request for Proposals (RFPs) and awarded contracts for the Priority 1 building security enhancements, which are currently underway; and WHEREAS the FY 2016 – FY 2025 Capital Improvement Program set aside $5,468,500 for the Priority 2 building security enhancements in the Capital Improvement Program for FY 2017 under the Building Projects section; and WHEREAS the Priority 2 building security enhancements will address the Information Technology Building, Courthouse (main), Children’s Village, Emergency Operations and Dispatch Center; Jail, Patrol Services, Steam Plant, the Water Resources Commissioner Billing Office, North Office Building, Little Oaks, Oakland Pointe, Executive Office Building, and the Clarkston, Novi, Rochester Hills, and Troy District Courts; and WHEREAS the shootings in San Bernardino, Kalamazoo, and Kansas in recent months reinforces the need for the County to implement greater building security measures in a timely manner; and WHEREAS it is therefore preferable to expedite the Priority 2 building security enhancements; and WHEREAS accomplishing this would entail approaching each building individually in priority sequence as opposed to bundling all the buildings together into one Request for Proposal (RFP); and WHEREAS specialized material, equipment, and major construction would require separate RFPs; and WHEREAS expediting Priority 2 would also entail using competitively bid annual and Priority 1 contractors for Priority 2 work to streamline the number and scope of RFPs needed; and WHEREAS funding for expediting Priority 2 Building Security Enhancements project is available for transfer from the General Fund (#10100) Assigned Fund Balance for Homeland Security Enhancement (GL #383455) to the Project Work Order Fund (#40400).
