ADOPTED - OCTOBER 12, 1999
Agenda Item No. 16
Introduced by the Human Services and Finance Committees of the:
INGHAM COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
RESOLUTION TO AUTHORIZE A LEAD ABATEMENT SUBCONTRACT
WITH PROFESSIONAL SERVICES INDUSTRIES, INC.
RESOLUTION #99-246
WHEREAS, the County has operated a Lead Abatement grant program, funded by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), for several years; and
WHEREAS, in April, 1999, the County issued an RFP for subcontracting the abatement work (assessing the identified houses for lead hazard, developing the specifications for abating the lead hazard and overseeing the actual lead abatement work being done by a licensed lead abatement contractor) and PSI (Professional Services Industries, Inc.) was the lowest, fully qualified bidder; and
WHEREAS, the subcontract period expires on September 30, 1999, but the County's grant funding and responsibility will continue, as the HUD Lead Abatement grant is incorporated into the 1999-2000 Comprehensive Plan Budget and Contract agreement with the Michigan Department of Community Health, authorized by Resolution No. 99-175; and
WHEREAS, the County Attorney has advised that it is acceptable to continue the relationship with the contractor without issuing a new RFP; and
WHEREAS, the Lead Poisoning Control Coordinator advises that the services performed by Professional Services Industries, Inc. have been excellent, and the Health Officer has recommended that the Board of Commissioners authorize a subcontract for the period October 1, 1999 through September 30, 2000.
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that the Ingham County Board of Commissioners authorizes a subcontract with Professional Services Industries, Inc. (PSI) for up to $41,000 for the purposes of assessing between 25 and 30 identified houses for lead hazard, developing the specifications for abating the lead hazard and overseeing the actual lead abatement work to be performed by a licensed lead abatement contractor.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the period of the subcontract shall be October 1, 1999 through September 30, 2000.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Board Chairperson is authorized to sign the subcontract after review by the County Attorney.
