Board members discussed the following item(s) from the agenda.
- Award Bid — Single Arm Side Loading Refuse Truck
Mr. Jeff Hudak, Central Services, stated three (3) bids were received. He noted Best Equipment

low bid he's requesting to award.
- State QPA Purchase — Motorola Solutions
Assistant Chief Todd Skwarcan, Fire Department, stated this is the continued replacement of the
department's old radios that don't work with the new 800 MHZ system. He added this is State
QPA pricing.
- Resolution No. 16-2017 — Old National Annexation Area
Mr. Michael Divita, Community Investment, stated this annexation is for a gas station and
convenience store in an already highly developed area on Douglas Road and SR 23. He noted the
annexation will not incur any additional costs for Public Works.
- Award Bid — Ductile Iron Pipe, Gate Valves, and Fire Hydrants
Mr. Ed Herman, Water Works, stated this is their standard pipe bid but the prices awarded are
slightly lower than last year.

AGENDA REVIEW SESSION APRIL 20, 2017 113
with. Ms. Fritzberg questioned if that process is just applicable to governments. Attorney
Schmidt stated it is, adding it's another check from the Council, and shows if the City is buying
or leasing. He stated the Board will approve the lease, it then gets the fifty (50) city property
owners signatures, goes to council, and then a resolution ratifying the lease is approved.
Sewer and/or Water Service Agreement
Attorney Schmidt stated after today's meeting of the IURC approving the new utility rates, these
agreements will go away in the next couple of weeks.
Storm Sewer License Agreement — River Walk, LLC
Attorney Schmidt noted this item may be tabled. He explained it is for connection of properties
in the new development at the East Race in a very condensed area. He noted it was put on the
agenda, but the paperwork has not come through to Legal yet.
- Quote Award — Norfolk Southern and Canadian National Railroad Crossings and Quiet
Zone Materials
Attorney Schmidt informed the Board that the specifications on this quote required a certification
letter on the materials used and measurements by an authorized agency. He noted there were two
(2) quotes received and neither submitted the letters. He stated for that reason, he was
comfortable with the engineering staff contacting the bidders. He stated when contacted, both
contractors had the letters and submitted them so they are good to award now.
No other business came before the Board. Upon a motion by Ms. Maradik, seconded by Mr.
Mueller and carried, the meeting adjourned at 10:58 a.m.
