The Oakland County Board of Commissioners Economic Development and Infrastructure Committee met on June 3, 2026, to discuss several procurement and budget-related items. Key procurement discussions included a budget amendment for the fiscal year 2026 triparty road improvement program with the city of Rochester, and authorization to issue bonds for the Pontiac Woodward Loop sewage disposal improvement project, with ongoing negotiations regarding right of entry costs. The committee also approved a contract amendment with Augur, Klein, and Aller Architects for schematic design services related to a water resource project, increasing the fee by $111,378 to cover additional engineering and surveying work. Additionally, the committee received an update on the EPA-funded Range Smart program, which awarded $745,000 in grants to support stormwater management projects across multiple municipalities. The committee recommended a $10,000 funding pledge for an inline skating rink project in Ferndale as part of the community and public spaces program. Finally, the committee approved the fiscal year 2026 appropriation for the local road improvement program, authorizing cost participation agreements with various communities. No votes opposed these procurement-related motions, and the meeting included public comments and a reminder about safety in construction zones.
