NOVEMBER 22, 2017 359
The Agenda Review Session of the Board of Public Works was convened at 10:30 a.m. on
November 22, 2017, by Board President Gary A. Gilot, with Board Members Elizabeth Maradik
and James Mueller present. Board Members Therese Dorau and Suzanna Fritzberg were absent.
Also present was Attorney Clara McDaniels. The meeting was held in the 13th Floor Boardroom,
County -City Building, 227 W. Jefferson Blvd., South Bend, Indiana. Board of Public Works
Clerk, Linda Martin, presented the Board with a proposed agenda of items presented by the
public and by City Staff.
Board members discussed the following item(s) from the agenda.
- Request to Advertise for Proposals — Financial System Replacement
Mr. Matt Coats, IT, stated he submitted an incorrect name for this proposal and it will be
corrected on the regular agenda. He explained it should be called Utility Billing System
Replacement and is part of the Naviline replacement. He noted they need the utility billing
system to go first. Mr. Gilot stated they need to make sure it states the system is IURC compliant
in the RFP, at least on the Wastewater side. Mr. Coats stated this probably won't affect
Wastewater, but they will make sure it's in there.
- Proposal — Metronet Zing
Mr. Michael Sniadecki, IT, stated this proposal is for Phase 1 of the installation of Metronet
access at eight (8) locations without access. Mr. Gilot asked if this is the physical hookup. Mr.
Sniadecki stated this is a one-time connection that covers everything.
- Software License — CDW Government
Mr. Sniadecki stated this is a Windows virtualized server update at the Wastewater plant. He
noted the two (2) current systems being replaced are from 2003 and 2008, both of which are no
longer supported.
- Software Agreement — MicroIntegration
Mr. Sniadecki stated this agreement is, to move five (5) to six (6) servers at the Wastewater Plant
into the cloud and to build a virtual server in the cloud. Mr. Gilot asked if it will be physically
backed up at a centralized location. Mr. Sniadecki confirmed it will.
- Award Bid — Police Motorcycles with Equipment
Mr. Gilot asked if this award includes the installation of the equipment. Mr. Jeff Hudak, Central
Services, stated this is just the equipment, the installation was quoted separately
- Award Bid — Preventative Maintenance on Various City Generators
Mr. Dave Qualls, Central Services, stated three (3) bids were received on this bid, but the one (1)
hour response time was not met on two (2) of the bids. Mr. Gilot explained the bid has to be
awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder; these bidders were not responsive, so
the third bidder was the lowest responsive and responsible. He asked Mr. Qualls if he knew the
difference in cost of having done these in a group rather than individually as done before. Mr.
Hudak stated they can go back and look at that and get some numbers together. He noted another
benefit of grouping this bid together is the city will get better priority on service. Mr. Gilot
suggested a comparison on service and cost benefits would be helpful.
- Contract — Utility
Sgt. Chad Goben, Police Department, stated Utility was the highest scoring vendor on the
Request for Proposals for Police In -Car and Body Cameras and the Board approved the
negotiation of a contract with them. He stated this is the contract being brought back to the Board
for approval. Mr. Gilot asked if it had legal review. Mr. Goben confirmed Attorney Ashley
Colbom reviewed it. Mr. Michael Schmidt, Purchasing Director, noted Mr. Dan O'Connor, IT,
and George King, Purchasing, put in a lot of effort on this and saved the city about $7,000 by
getting the city out of a prior contract.
- Agreement Renewal — Leads Online
Sgt. Goben stated this is the annual contract for Lead's online for pawn shop database research
for stolen merchandise. He noted it has additional benefits for the public to organize their
property. Mr. Gilot asked if it looks at Craig's list and other sites. Mr. Goben confirmed it does,
it looks at identification numbers and searches all over the nation.
- Request to Advertise for Bids — Venues, Parks and Arts (VPA) 2018 Chemical Supplies
Mr. Patrick Sherman, VPA, stated per Legal, he changed the language in this RFP to clarify it's
just VPA related chemicals.
- Amendment to Professional Services Agreement — Lehman & Lehman
Mr. Sherman stated this is for the dog park development, noting they need better survey data.
- Professional Services Agreement — EnFocus
Alkeyna Aldridge introduced herself as the Director of Engagement and Economic
Empowerment, a newly created position in Community Investment. She stated this agreement

allows the city to bring someone on board to analyze the data they have regarding development
needs. Mr. Gilot noted he chairs the Enfocus board, so he won't be able to vote on this.
- Request to Reject Quotations — 2017 Engineering Remodel
Ms. Kara Boyles, City Engineer, stated she is requesting to remove this item from the agenda.
- Request to Advertise for Bids — 2017 Toll Road Sewer Lining
Ms. Boyles stated this is the old Clay sewer line that runs under the toll road that has collapsed
and the city needs to repair it before it creates an issue with the toll road. Attorney McDaniels
stated she would recommend the title of the project be changed. The Board suggested Sewer
Lining or old Clay Utilities Sewer Lining.
Amendment to Professional Services Agreement — Lawson -Fisher Associates
Ms. Boyles stated this agreement is for the permitting to do the construction of the west gate
repairs for the West Race of the dam. She noted it was originally to be a cost sharing agreement
with Century Center but they were not able to come up with the funds so Engineering is funding
it.
- Vacations — Five Corners LLC
Mr. Eric Horvath, Public Works, stated these are alleys and streets that have become unnecessary
after all of the development at Eddy Commons. Ms. Maradik stated it's important to make sure
the petitioner understands the city retains all utility easements after the vacation. She noted the
request is being done for future development so the city needs to have access to their utilities.
No other business came before the Board. Upon a motion by Mr. Gilot, seconded by Ms.
Maradik and carried, the meeting adjourned at 11:20 a.m.
