Waterford Township board approves environmental consultant contract for community center
Summary
At a special April 17 meeting the Waterford Township Board voted to award environmental consultant services for the Community Center project to Intertek PSI; the motion recorded a not-to-exceed amount that differs from the memo and the roll call shows an attendance inconsistency.
The Waterford Township Board voted April 17 to award a contract for environmental consultant services for the township’s Community Center project to Intertek PSI.
Trustee Gary Wall moved — and Trustee Jeff Gilbert seconded — a resolution “to award the Community Center Environmental Consulting bid to Intertek PSI in the amount of not to exceed $56,596.00,” and the motion was recorded as carried. The board’s minutes show the vote as: Yeas — Bartolotta, Markee, Thomas, Gilbert, Hauswirth and Wall; Nays — Harris.
The award followed a memo submitted to Supervisor Anthony Bartolotta that said Plante Moran Realpoint and the project committee recommended Intertek PSI based on their bid review and included a bid tabulation. The memo asked for board approval of a contract “not to exceed $56,593.00,” and it noted the request had been inadvertently missed at prior meetings. The meeting record therefore contains a discrepancy between the memo’s requested not-to-exceed amount ($56,593.00) and the dollar figure recorded in the motion ($56,596.00).
The minutes also show a roll call earlier in the meeting listing Trustees Jeff Gilbert, Sam Harris and Marie E. Hauswirth as absent, while the vote record lists Gilbert and Hauswirth among those voting yea. The minutes do not explain that inconsistency.
During the meeting’s public-comment period, Craig Bauer of 6950 Hatchery said he had concerns about the Community Center process and renovations; the minutes do not record additional detail about those concerns or any board response.
The special meeting began at 1:00 p.m. in the Townhall Auditorium and adjourned at 1:05 p.m. The minutes indicate the contract award requires board approval under the township’s procurement policy; the file attached to the minutes (not included in these excerpts) was described as containing the recommendation and bid tabulation from Plante Moran Realpoint.
Next steps were not specified in the minutes excerpt.
