Macomb County refers carpet replacement back to committee, rejects salt‑barn task order and approves paving contract
Loading...
Summary
At its April 30 meeting the board voted to send a $183,061.10 Clemens Center carpet replacement contract back to internal services committee for more information, failed to approve a $100,000 task order for salt‑barn owner representation (no support), and approved a 2026 paving design contract after a commissioner noted a recusal and the board recorded one abstention.
The Macomb County Board of Commissioners handled several internal services procurement items at its April 30 meeting, referring one contract back to committee, rejecting another for lack of support, and approving a paving-design contract with an abstention on the final tally.
Commissioner Perna moved to refer item 10a — a conventional carpet replacement project for the Clemens Center probation department, budgeted at $183,061.10 — back to the internal services committee for additional information; Commissioner Lucido supported the motion. The board scheduled the item for the internal services committee meeting on May 13 and approved the referral 12–0.
A separate motion to approve item 10b, a task order (Plant Rand Real Point) for owner representation of the Macomb County salt barn in the amount of $100,000, was brought forward by Commissioner Wallace but received no support and failed on that basis.
On item 10c, the board considered a contract with Anderson, Eckstein & Westrick for 2026 paving project design. During discussion a commissioner stated they would recuse themselves from voting because of a potential personal conflict. The board ultimately recorded the contract as approved (the meeting minutes show it passed with an 11–0–1 tally, indicating one abstention). The meeting record does not show further details of any contract conditions or implementation timeline.
What this means: one procurement was delayed for further committee review, one task order was not approved because it lacked a second/support, and the paving design contract moved forward despite a recusal and an abstention. The board approved several additional internal‑services items (10d–10k) as a block later in the meeting.
