Executive Board Session (O’Non Land Surveying)

The Leelanau County Board of Commissioners has entered into a Monumentation/Remonumentation Peer Group Member Agreement with O’Non Land Surveying for the year 2025. This agreement is part of a larger initiative funded by a Grant Agreement with the Michigan Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs, aimed at conducting surveying, monumentation, and remonumentation of public land survey corners and property controlling corners within Leelanau County. The contractor, O’Non Land Surveying, will serve as a member of the County’s Surveying, Monumentation, and Remonumentation Peer Group, which is responsible for reviewing and approving the work performed by other surveyors under the Grant Agreement. The agreement stipulates that the contractor must adhere to all applicable federal, state, and local laws, and comply with the terms and conditions of the Grant Agreement.

The agreement outlines several key responsibilities and conditions for the contractor. O’Non Land Surveying is required to act as an independent contractor, not as an employee or agent of the County or State of Michigan, and must comply with non-discrimination laws, including the Elliott-Larsen Civil Rights Act and the Persons With Disabilities Civil Rights Act. The contractor must also indemnify and hold harmless the County and State of Michigan from any claims or damages arising from their work. Additionally, the contractor is required to certify that they have not engaged in any illegal activities related to influencing government officials and that they are not debarred from participating in the agreement.

The term of the agreement is set to commence on July 1, 2025, and continue through December 31, 2025, with the possibility of one-year extensions if agreed upon in writing by both parties. The agreement can be terminated by either party with thirty days’ written notice, and in the event of early termination, the County will reimburse the contractor for services rendered up to the effective date of termination. The agreement also includes provisions for handling conflicts and ethical standards, media releases, disclosure of litigation, and modifications to the agreement, all of which require written consent from both parties.
