       Development
Pursuant to Public Act 146 of the Michigan Public Acts of 2000, as amended,
1185 Third St. LLC has requested the issuance of an Obsolete Property
Rehabilitation Certificate for the property located at 1185 Third Street to
support further development. If approved, the property’s taxable value would
be frozen at the pre-rehabilitation level for the duration of the certificate. The
Obsolete Property Rehabilitation District for this site was established by the City
Commission on October 22, 2002.
The applicant proposes to rehabilitate a long-vacant commercial building in
the downtown. The project represents an estimated investment of $4,925,000
and includes significant upgrades to mechanical, electrical, and plumbing
systems, structural improvements, and exterior and façade enhancements.
Upon completion, the building will be used as an office and research and
development facility. The prospective tenant is expected to retain
approximately 80 full-time positions at this location, supporting continued
employment within the City.
The City’s Internal Tax Committee has reviewed the application and all
required supporting documentation. Based on its analysis and calculations, the
Committee recommends approval of the resolution granting a twelve (12)-

   B. DPW Union Contract Manager's Office
Staff is seeking approval of the contract with the SEIU Unit 2 union.
Management and SEIU Unit 2 have reached tentative agreement on changes
to the contract, the union has ratified the changes, and the updated contract

STAFF RECOMMENDATION: To approve the labor contact with the SEIU Unit 2
union.
   C. Lakeshore Drive Reconstruction MDOT Agreement Public Works
Staff is requesting approval of a contract with MDOT for the repaving of
Lakeshore Drive from the roundabout at Beach Street to 600 feet west of Sherin
Street, and approval of a resolution authorizing the DPW Director and Clerk to
sign the contract.
This is the standard contract that governs construction contracts that use
federal funds and/or are administered through MDOT. The construction project
funding breakdown is shown in the table below. These costs differ slightly from
the numbers in the agreement, as these have been updated based on the
bids received.
           Road Portion Sewer        Water       Total
                         Portion     Portion
Federal $989,600         N/A         N/A         $989,600
Funds
City       $756,206.24 $245,389.00 $414,801.00 $1,416,396.24
Funds
Total      $1,745,806.24 $245,389.00 $414,801.00 $2,405,996.24

A meeting was held with the residents and businesses along and near the
project last summer, and the final version of the plans will be available for
viewing at the Annual Construction Projects Open House on February 18th. The
project was bid earlier this month with AnLaan Corporation of Grand Rapids
being the low bidder and receiving award. The exact schedule is not known at
this time, however the contract includes provisions requiring the work to be
done in two phases so that the roadway is open to traffic from Memorial Day to
Labor Day. Once the City and the contractor have met and details have
been provided, more information will be provided to residents and businesses
along the route and provided to the public via the website and other means.



                                 Page 4 of 12
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Move to approve a contract with MDOT for the

west of Sherin Street, and approval of a resolution authorizing the DPW Director
and Clerk to sign the contract.
    D. Pedestrian Warning System on Port City Blvd DPW- Engineering
Staff is requesting authorization to approve a contract with Strain Electric in the
amount of $58,850.00 for installation of a rectangular rapid flashing beacon
(RRFB) on Port City Blvd at the crosswalk near ADAC Automotive.
Bids were solicited for a construction project to replace the existing pedestrian
warning system at the crosswalk near ADAC Automotive on Port City
Boulevard. ADAC has expressed growing safety concerns for a number of
years, supported by documentation of "close calls" and a high number of staff
crossings throughout the day including during dark hours. Staff from multiple
departments met with ADAC, and agreed that the existing system was failing
and out of date. Modern pedestrian warning systems are known as
Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacons, or RRFBs, and include pedestrian-
activated lights in advance and at the crossing location. Engineering staff
designed an RRFB system for the crosswalk and solicited bids for the
installation. Two bids were received. Strain Electric bid $58,850.00 and J. Ranck
Electric bid $86,640.37. Staff recommends award to Strain Electric, the low
bidder, based on past experiences with positive results.
While this item was not anticipated in this year's budget the Major Streets fund
carries a balance that can cover this relatively small expense, and staff feels
that with dozens of employees using this crossing daily that this upgraded
warning system is a compelling need. The major street fund budget will be
reforecast accordingly.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Move to authorize staff to enter into a contract with
Strain Electric in the amount of $58,850.00 for installation of a rectangular rapid
flashing beacon (RRFB) on Port City Blvd at the crosswalk near ADAC
Automotive.
    F. Security Software for Computers and Users Information Technology
The Information Technology Department is seeking to improve network-wide
cybersecurity protection for all computers and user accounts. Our current
software solution no longer provides adequate protection. We are
recommending Crowdstrike as the security solution for protecting computers
and user accounts going forward. This recommended purchase is for a 3-year
subscription.
Information Technology is continually seeking ways to strengthen our security
against the ever-evolving cybersecurity threat landscape. The computers,
virtual servers, and user accounts on our network are critical components that
require optimal protection to keep the City's computer systems functioning. The
Crowdstrike bundle we are recommending provides a well-rounded set of


                                   Page 5 of 12
security tools to efficiently fight malicious threats. Procured grant funding from
the SLCGP (State and Local Cybersecurity Grant Program) will help offset a little
over half of the cost by reimbursing the City during the grant's performance
period, running through August 2027. This will account for $32,202 of the
purchase price of the 3-year term (the total for the 3-year contract is
$61,013.29).
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: I move to approve the purchase of the Crowdstrike
security software bundle.

Pine Street.
The CNS department purchased a vacant house at 1183 Pine Street for
$5,000.00. The purpose is to rehab the property and sell it to an income-eligible

asbestos removal and general rehab work following a newly configured floor
plan to produce a 3 bedroom, 1-bath house.

two of the contractors did not submit complete bid packets. Guidelines require
complete submissions in order to be considered for the project. We do not
allow contractors to submit missing items after the deadline. The bid is being
awarded to the only contractor who submitted a complete bid.
Complete bid packets require the contractor to submit current license/s,
