He noted it is not repairable, they need to replace it. He stated he found Indiana Statute, IC 36-1-12-5(b)(1)(B) that allows a streamlined process of receiving and opening at a Board meeting. He noted the Street Department will request three (3) quotes, open them, and bring them to the next Agenda Review session to recommend award. He noted this needs to get done before fall leaf pickup and snow plowing. When questioned about an insurance claim, he explained this doesn't reach the deductible to claim on insurance. He stated per statute they will come back and read the quotes into the record and make a recommendation on the award. Attorney McDaniels stated she discussed this with Mr. Schmidt and looked through statutory regulations, and she is fine with this process. - Professional Services Agreement— 21 CP Solutions, LLC Ms. Laura O'Sullivan, Mayor's Office, stated she can speak on the addition to the agenda.

Ms. O'Sullivan stated she, along with the Mayor and staff from the Mayor's Office, engaged with other Mayor's and this company came up time and time again as the best in the business.
