The Public Agenda Session of the Board of Public Works was convened at 10:35 a.m. on
Thursday, December 2, 2010, by Board President Gary A. Gilot, with Board Member Donald E.
Inks present. Board Member Carl P. Littrell was absent. Also present was Board Attorney Cheryl
Greene. Board of Public Works Clerk, Linda M. Martin, presented the Board with a proposed
agenda of items presented by the public and by City Staff.
Board members discussed the following items from that list.
- Additions to the Agenda
Mr. Gilot noted the addition of a Substantial Completion for the Kennedy Park Sewer
Separation project; Resolution No. 79 -2010, for the disposal of unfit and /or obsolete
property; and a Completion Affidavit for the Traffic Signal Modernization project.
- Award Bid — Heavy Duty Aerial Tower (Quint)
Chief Howard Buchanon, Fire Department, informed the Board he was recommending
the Board reject the low bidder of the above equipment, Sutphen Corporation, as non-
responsive. Chief Buchanon stated the bid submitted by Sutphen did not meet the
requirements of the specifications. He gave as an example, the bid specs required a steel,
rear mounted aerial device. Sutphen proposed an aluminum, mid - mounted aerial device.
The specifications required firefighter safety features such as a one -piece panoramic
windshield, side air bags, frontal air bags, side roll protection and a suspension seat safety
system. Sutphen did not comply with these safety features. Chief Buchanon stated that
Sutphen did not respond to the in -depth questions in the bid specs requiring a yes /no
answer. He noted Sutphen also did not submit any bids regarding the optional equipment
and the trade -in values for two (2) fire trucks. Chief Buchanon stated there were two bids
submitted by Pierce, one for a stock truck, and one built to requirements. He noted the
stock aerial bid on by Pierce and the aerial bid on by Sutphen were demos with some
mileage on them. Pierce has offered to start the warranty as new with the existing
mileage. Chief Buchanon stated he is requesting the Board approve the award for the less
expensive stock aerial. Mr. Gilot asked if the funds were in place and appropriated. Chief
Buchanon stated there is a grant subject to Common Council appropriation. Mr. Gilot
stated the Fire Department should work with the City's fleet manager and purchasing the
next time they write and award specs for any equipment. He noted they are experts at
putting specifications together, and can be helpful.
- Award Bids — Packers and Refuse Trucks
Mr. Jeff Hudak. Equipment Services, informed the Board that none of the three Solid
Waste vehicle bids are recommended for award to the low bidders. He noted on the 25
cubic yard packer, he considers the first six (6) low bidders as non - responsive and
recommends award to the seventh low bidder. He stated the bid specs were specific and
required thick steel for durability. The low bidders bid a cheaper, thinner steel that would
not hold up as well. He noted the Solid Waste division is able to replace their trucks so
seldom, it is critical that they be made with thicker steel for durability. When
maintenance is figured in, Mr. Hudak suggested the cost in the long run on a less
expensive truck, is more. He noted that the last four (4) packers of equal size bought were
the same model so that will also eliminate the training requirement. Mr. Hudak informed
the Board that he and Matt Chlebowski, Director of Equipment Services, spent time with
the user departments to find out what they liked and didn't like about their current trucks,
and put that into the specifications. Mr. Gilot noted he reviewed all of the bids and is
comfortable with the rejection of the non - responsive bids. Ms. Greene added Mr. Hudak
and Mr. Chlebowski did a very good job on the review and the explanation of why the
bids were found non - responsive.
- Award Bid — Universal Nestable Refuse Containers
Mr. Hudak, Equipment Services, recommended award to the lowest responsive bidder.
Mr. Inks questioned who is losing or breaking the containers, is it rental properties or
actual home - owners. Mr. Hudak stated it is both. Mr. Irks questioned whether there is a
way to trace the containers to the original owners. Mr. Hudak stated he was going to add
a chip to the specs for identifying the owners, but decided against it when he found out he
can purchase the chips directly from the manufacturer and save a lot of money. He noted
they also offer more options. Mr. Inks asked how the chips will be attached, if they are
easily removed. Mr. Hudak stated the cover on the chip will be glued on and they would
have to destroy the handle to remove it.
- Emergency Purchase — Underground Pipe & Valve
Mr. Phil Custard, Purchasing, stated Raw Pump No. 3 was found to have more damage
than previously known, when work was started to do the original emergency repair. He
PUBLIC AGENDA SESSION
DECEMBER 2, 2010 371
noted this is a critical piece of equipment that cannot be out of service so the amount of
the emergency repair needed to be increased.
The Clerk was instructed to post the agenda and notify the media and other persons who have
requested notice of the meeting agenda. No other business came before the Board. The meeting
adjourned at 11:10 a.m.

care of. These issues must be taken care of before the Fire Department can approve the license.
The petitioner was present and stated First Response was doing the remodeling and they were
told by the Building Department that they did not need a permit because the walls they were
installing were temporary walls. He noted that when the Fire Department inspected, they were
informed that they did need a building permit. The Fire Department also told them that the
location of their washer and dryer was in violation of code and the Building Department had told
them it was not. Mr. Gilot stated this Board does not deal with code violations, and is not the
expert on them and the owner needed to resolve these issues with the Fire Department and the
Building Department. There being no one else present wishing to address the Board concerning
this matter, the Public Hearing was closed. Therefore, upon a motion made by Mr. Gilot,
seconded by Mr. Inks and carried, the license was approved subject to the Building and Fire code
issues being resolved. Board Attorney Cheryl Greene informed the petitioners the Board of
Works cannot approve a business license to operate when there are Building and Fire code

Board needs notification from those departments when they have been resolved. Ms. Greene

DENY REVOCABLE PERMIT FOR ENCROACHMENT - 5635 MIAMI STREET
Mr. Gilot stated a Revocable Permit request has been received from Charles Chamblis, at the
above address, for the purpose of installing a brick mailbox in the right-of-way at 5635 Miami

a clear zone in a forty (40) MPH speed limit location. He noted the brick mailbox has already
been installed. The requirement in the clear zone in this speed zone is eighteen (18) inches back.
Mr. Littrell noted the mailbox does not meet the requirements and is a hazard to motorists
involved in an accident. He stated the structure could create severe injuries if struck. Mr. Littrell
stated if the Board approves this, Mr. Chambliss should provide an indemnification for the City.
Mr. Gilot made a motion that the request be denied, and the mailbox be removed. Mr. Inks
seconded the motion, which carried.
