The reimbursement agreement was also subject to final approval by <br />INDOT, who ultimately decided that these hydrant relocations could not be performed as part of <br />St. Joseph County’s construction project. <br /> <br />Because this work cannot be completed by St. Joseph County as part of their contract, and that <br />St. Joseph County will not sign this agreement, the City’s Department of Public Works <br />respectfully requests that the Board rescind its approval of the Agreement, rendering it null and <br />void. <br /> <br />The hydrant relocations will be completed by using a public quote process in accordance with <br />Indiana State code. <br /> <br />Thank you. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
