AN ACT to amend 1909 PA 283, entitled “An act to revise, consolidate, and add to the laws relating to the establishment, opening, discontinuing, vacating, closing, altering, improvement, maintenance, and use of the public highways and private roads; the condemnation of property and gravel therefor; the building, repairing and preservation of bridges; maintaining public access to waterways under certain conditions; setting and protecting shade trees, drainage, and cutting weeds and brush within this state; providing for the election or appointment and defining the powers, duties, and compensation of state, county, township, and district highway officials; and to prescribe penalties and provide remedies,” by amending section 10 of chapter IV (MCL 224.10), as amended by 2004 PA 516.
The People of the State of Michigan enact:
CHAPTER IV
Sec. 10. (1) The clerk and the members of a board of county road commissioners are subject to 1968 PA 317, MCL 15.321 to 15.330.
(2) The board of county road commissioners shall employ a competent county highway engineer who shall make surveys ordered by the board, prepare plans and specifications for roads, bridges, and culverts, and exercise general supervision over construction to insure that the plans and specifications are strictly followed. Two or more adjoining counties may employ the same engineer, if the work in 1 or more of the counties is not enough to employ the whole time of the engineer. The engineer employed by the board shall be known as the county highway engineer.
(3) The board may also engage
other professional and consultant services as it considers necessary to
implement this act and promote efficiency and economy in the operation of the
county road system. The board may also employ other necessary laborers and may
purchase machines, tools, appliances, and materials that it considers necessary
or convenient for the performance of work by the laborers. In cases involving
the expenditure of an amount greater than $15,000.00 for the purchase of
machines, tools, appliances, and materials, the board of county road
commissioners shall advertise for sealed proposals for the machines, tools,
appliances, and materials proposed to be purchased, except under emergency
conditions, in which case the limit must not exceed $50,000.00. All purchases
made under this section must be compiled separately for purposes of board
approval. The board shall advertise for sealed proposals for the purchase of
passenger vehicles and trucks weighing less than 5,000 pounds. The board
may purchase surplus properties from the state and federal governments without
advertising for sealed proposals.
(4) Each county road commission shall take all reasonable steps to ensure minority business enterprises have the equal opportunity to compete and perform contracts or purchases of services, or both, for the county road commission. The county road commission shall issue a plan for implementing this subsection.
(5) A county road commission may enter into a contract or agreement for the purchase of real or personal property for public purposes, to be paid for in installments over a period not to exceed 30 years or the useful life of the property acquired, whichever is less. Real or personal property purchased under this act may serve as collateral in support of the purchase, contract, or agreement.
