The Waterford Township Board of Trustees approved several capital and infrastructure items at the March 23 meeting.
Ambulance deposit: Trustees approved release of $77,852 as the 10% required deposit for two 2026 Road Rescue Type 1 Ultra Medic ambulances. The purchase is covered by the Fire Department capital vehicles line in the 2026 budget; board members said the full vehicle allocation for the fiscal year had already been approved.
Desktop PC purchase: IT staff (speaker 11, identified in the meeting as Jerry) said the township is replacing roughly 20% of its desktop fleet annually to maintain a five‑year refresh cycle. The quote presented covers 122 desktop PCs at an estimated total of $136,572.90. Trustees asked whether software licenses (for Microsoft Office/Office 365) were included; staff said those are purchased separately.
Pedestrian bridge cost participation: Trustees approved a resolution to enter a cost participation agreement with the road commission (RCOC) for the Embert Boulevard pedestrian bridge. The township’s share was presented as $367,000 based on the road commission’s engineering estimate. Trustees discussed whether to add a contingency (a trustee suggested a 10% contingency be considered later) and heard that the road commission hopes to complete work this year.
What’s next: staff will execute contracted procurements and return any necessary budget amendments if contingencies or overruns arise.
