REGULAR MEETING FEBRUARY 11, 2025 26 Attorney Schmidt advised that if FA Wilhelm gets the whole project, they're the CMc and the builder so they can only self -perform twenty percent (20%). Mr. Miller stated he understood and added that FA Wilhelm builds parking garages as one of their specialties. Attorney Schmidt advised that all they can do under the law is self -perform twenty percent (20%) and they are aware of that. Mr. Miller stated that it is going to be very limited as to what is broken up to other contractors, so he asked how they will meet the goals. Attorney Schmidt advised that they will have to figure it out. Mr. Miller stated that he does not see it happening. Attorney Schmidt advised that the legal compliance must be there. Mr. Gilot asked if they would be using veneer to wrap the garage. Mr. Hurst noted that the residential units will wrap the building on all sides, and the hotel will be a separate structure. CHANGE ORDERS Mr. Miller asked what was involved in item 6.B.: 2024 Curb and Sidewalk Program, Division 2 because there was not much of a description. Project Manager Gemma Stanton noted that they had extra budget available in the project because the bids that were awarded were priced really well. When they went out on site, they added some extra sidewalk because there was still a couple more feet that they could do, so they just added on to that. That was something they directed the contractor to do. UEST TO ADVERTISE FOR THE RECEIPT OF APPLICATIONS Attorney Schmidt noted that for items 8.A. and 8.B.: 2025 Water Works Utility Service Line Repair Program and 2025 Sewer Insurance Lateral Repair program that we are just updating the pricing due to the cost of doing business associated with the work that is being done in 2025. PROJECT COMPLETION AFFIDAVITS Attorney Schmidt advised the Board that items 7.A., 7.B., and 7.C. have been reviewed by The Office of Diversity and Inclusion and Engineering. They have given their blessing on all three (3) projects that are ready for close outs with respect to how the goals were handled. His understanding is that each project had a little bit of utilization plan changes along the way. Michael Szymanski from ODI agreed and explained that any sub -contractor on any of those three (3) projects listed for close out that doesn't show as 100%, confirmed payment. He has confirmation that payments were made and just not updated in B2G or the actual changing utilization outlining the reasoning for the decrease in the contract amounts. STREET/ALLEY VACATIONS Attorney Schmidt advised that item 11. A.: Alley Vacation at 330 E. Jefferson Blvd. will not be on the agenda on Tuesday. There has been extensive ongoing negotiations related to this property and how to handle a variety of easements. What the City will be doing on this is ultimately, there was a 2003 subdivision of this property and it is a little bit unclear on what the City did in 2003 on the dedication related to the subdivision. It is their understanding that the city treated this as if the land had been dedicated to it, so they are going to formally acknowledge on Tuesday that the City did accept the deed of dedication of the subdivision from 2003, and that the City had acted in a manner consistent with the deed of dedication being accepted in 2003 and then there will be further action at future BPW meetings throughout the next couple weeks. PRIVILEGE OF THE FLOOR ADJOURNMENT There being no further business to come before the Board, President Maradik adjourned the meeting at 10:50 a.m.
