HomeMy WebLinkAbout11/20/12 Board of Public Works MinutesAGENDA REVIEW SESSION NOVEMBER 15,2012 365
The Agenda Review Session of the Board of Public Works was convened at 10:30 a.m. on
Thursday, November 15, 2012, by Board President Gary A. Gilot, with Board Members Kathryn
E. Roos, Michael C. Mecham and Mark W. Neal present. Board member Donald E. Inks was
absent. Also present was 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.
APPROVE INDUSTRIAL WASTEWATER DISCHARGE PERMIT — IMAGINEERING
FINISHING TECHNOLOGIES
In a Memorandum to the Board, Ms. Kim Thompson, Division of Environmental Services,
submitted a request for the renewal of the Industrial Wastewater Discharge Significant Industrial
User Permit No. 641 17 -88048 for Imagineering Finishing Technologies, 3722 Foundation Court,
South Bend, Indiana. Ms. Thompson noted that their current permit expires on November 16,
2012. There being no further discussion, upon a motion made by Mr. Gilot, seconded by Ms.
Roos and carried, the renewal of the permit was approved.
- Special Purchase — Supreme Specialty Vehicles
Police Division Chief Gary Horvath stated the Police Department is requesting to purchase a
used tactical and response vehicle at a substantial savings. He noted he has looked for one in the
past through a grant through the Indiana Homeland and Security and has not been successful;
Indiana does not fund them. He noted they are primarily used for tactical teams and bomb
squads. He stated if the City has an incident locally that requires this type of vehicle, the closest
available unit can't make it in less than three (3) hours. Chief Horvath stated Supreme Specialty
Vehicles is a local company from Goshen that an opportunity came up with. He noted the Police
Department bought two (2) vehicles from them before, and the Fire Department has also bought
vehicles from them. Chief Horvath stated there are a couple of companies out there that make
these vehicles, and this is a substantial savings over all of them. He explained the vehicle has
only 813 miles on it and has never been shot at. The normal retail price for this vehicle is around
$215,000.00 and Supreme Specialty Vehicles is offering it for $150,000.00, a savings of
$65,000.00. He noted it is a savings of over $100,000.00 if purchased from Lenco. Chief
Horvath added the only difference from what he submitted for the agenda is they are looking at
purchasing a CBRNE Radiation and Explosive Gas Detection System at $12,706.00, bringing the
total up to $165,556.00. Ms. Roos stated just to clarify; the price is $165,000.00 with the option.
Chief Horvath stated it is $165,556.00 with the option and freight. Ms. Greene stated she talked
to Sergeant Chris Voros and the purchase does meet the Indiana Code criteria for substantial
savings. The statute allows the City to purchase without going through the bidding process. Mr.
Neal asked if there is a percentage of savings requirement that must be met. Ms. Greene stated
no, it just needs to show it qualifies as a substantial saving to the City. Mr. Gilot questioned how
many people the vehicle will carry. Chief Horvath stated it will carry about ten (10) people.
- Professional Services Agreement — MPA Architects
Fire Chief Steve Cox stated the design for Fire Station No. 5 was halted last year to revisit. Mr.
John Engstrom, Engineering, stated they have now come up with a responsible project in the area
of $800,000.00 to $900,000.00. The proposal is to get a professional services contract with MPA
Architects. He noted the survey, demolition, and soil investigation are separate. Chief Cox stated
they are working with Jonathon Geels, Energy Department, on the landscaping, hoping to save
on the cost, and looking at a variable refrigerant flow system to incorporate into the project to
save energy. Chief Cox noted this is an alternative energy option they are looking at as well as a
radiant heat floor for the apparatus bay. He stated they looked at an alternative furnace system
internally with Jon Burke. Mr. Neal questioned if the current cost includes an energy efficient
heating system. Chief Cox stated they are looking at what point do they receive payback on an
energy efficient system, and if it is soon enough to make it worth putting in the specifications.
Mr. Engstrom stated this project has been substantially decreased since last year. There are fewer
beds; less square footage; and they rearranged the floor plan. Ms. Greene stated this will prevent
the City from having to go through property acquisition from what she understands. Chief Cox
stated yes, they will be using existing property and building vertically. He noted they have had
meetings with the Rum Village neighborhood association. He added that during construction, the
Fire crew will be moved to Central Fire Station and still able to make their fire response time
requirements. Mr. Neal asked what the time estimate is on the project. Mr. Engstrom stated
approximately six (6) months. Ms. Greene asked if they are separating the project; who is going
to be the project manager. Mr. Mecham stated Mr. Engstrom will be. Ms. Greene stated land
acquisition was the cost that stalled out this project last year, is there any land acquisition that
will be needed in addition. Chief Cox said no, we're using existing land and going vertical,
AGENDA REVIEW SESSION NOVEMBER 15 2012 366
moving the fitness room clown to the basement, He noted if necessary, they could add to the east
or west, and there's a possibility the city could acquire a small piece of land to the west
eventually. Ms. Roos noted the ' fee for the design is higher than the typical 10% of the
engineering cost, and asked if there is a reason. Ms. Jackie Hilderbrandt, MPA, stated their base
fee is 9% of the project cost; the additional costs are for reimbursables such as State filing fees,
printing of plans, etc. Mr. Gilot noted the City uses a virtual plan room where contractors pay a
fee for the plans and specifications. Ms. Hilderbrandt acknowledged that there wouldn't be a
charge for that expense then, the billing is based on what costs are incurred. Mr. Gilot stated they
need to make sure the engineers understand the full scope of the project from the beginning and
noted the City doesn't want to increase the cost. He added he was pleased to see Ms.
Hilderbrandt, a representative from a MBE firm. Ms. Greene stated she noticed the quotes for the
survey work were prepared for MPA by Palm & Associates, Inc. She stated if the City hasn't
authorized MPA to get the survey done, the quotes need to be made to the City. Mr. Gilot stated
they will also need to put a sentence in their agreement that the City will authorize MPA to use
the survey information in their design.
- Change Order — Memorial Hospital Facade
Mr. Toy Villa, Engineering, stated he needed to correct the agenda, to state Holladay
Construction; he erroneously put Rieth Riley on the agenda. Mr. Villa stated the increases on this
project were all due to unforeseen circumstances. He explained that part of that cost was from
the addition of full glass windows that weigh more than the original smaller windows and
required additional support. He noted this couldn't have been seen until tearing into the wall. Ms.
Greene agreed that these were all unforeseen; she stated they just need to make sure they aren't
over the 20% Change Order threshold.
- Amended Professional Services Agreement — Christopher B. Burke Engineering, LLC
Mr. Toy Villa, Engineering, stated this project was originally awarded for 1'/2 inspectors to be on
site, but due to additional work added to the project, Christopher Burke Engineering needed to
assign additional time that required the '/2 time person to be on the job full time. Mr. Gilot
questioned who did the design. Mr. Villa stated Abonmarche did. Mr. Gilot stated, so when
you're doing review, you need to watch the costs and hold them accountable for additional work
not put in the original design scope. Mr. Gilot stated we don't want to keep going back to firms
that are costing us money on change orders; if this would have been a contractor working on a
project, we would have collected liquidated damages, but this was for design and plans that they
came up with, and they were wrong.
- Bid Award — Re- Lighting for Leighton Complex, Main/Colfax, and Wayne Street Parking
Garages
Ms. Greene informed Mr. Jonathon Burke, Energy Department, that it is her understanding that
funds are appropriated for two of the garages, but not the Leighton Garage. She stated she was
asked if you could encumber 2013 funds in advance in 2012 to award in 2012; she stated you
cannot. She added the next question was whether the low bidder was willing to extend their bid
for sixty (60) days, could they do that to award in 2013. Ms. Greene stated they could do that,
but this was not set up as a divisible bid. She noted Indiana Statute allows the City to hold the
bids for sixty (60) days before awarding, but the contractor can offer to honor his bid for ninety
(90) days.
- Agreement -- Facility Dude Utility Trac
Mr. Jonathon Burke, Energy Office, stated this agreement is for utility tracking software to track
all division energy usage and generate reports. He noted it is a monumental task to set up the
program for an entity as large as the City. He stated he looked at other utility tracking software,
and most will allow you to use their software for thirty (30) days for free. He noted he didn't like
that, because it's too much information you're putting into the system and if it doesn't work well,
it's a lot of wasted time. This company, he added, allows you a year free trial period. He noted
this is more of an interim solution; once the program is set up, and running successfully, the City
can take it over. Mr. Gilot stated he thought this was a SCADA system and more involved,
explaining that is why he tabled this item previously. He noted that being this is cloud supported
software that will probably get displaced by future software and it's free for a year, he is okay
with it.
BOARD MEMBER EXCUSED
Ms. Kathryn Roos excused herself from the meeting at 11:20 a.m. and requested the Clerk ask
that someone come to Tuesday's meeting and present on Item 9E, a Professional Services
Proposal with Christopher B. Burke Engineering regarding design services related to the final
alternative approved by the Redevelopment Commission for the Fellows Street project.
AGENDA REVIEW SESSION NOVEMBER 15, 2012 367
- Traffic Control Devices — African American Landmark Tour Signs
Mr. Mike Mecham stated the City has been asked to install these tour signs by the Civil Rights
Heritage Center, He noted each sign will be different and there will be no cost to the city. Mr.
Mecham stated there were two (2) things we visited. First, a lot of these are residences or offices
and we need to check with the owners on placement; and secondly, we agreed that we will install
the signs, with them paying for the installation, so they are installed to City standards. Mr.
Mecham stated he told the Civil Rights Heritage people that we would bring it to the Board now,
because they need to get a purchase order by November. Ms. Greene stated that the Historical
Preservation Society has requirements for a Certificate of Appropriateness before installation of
historical information, and they always verify the information is accurate. She stated they have a
whole process they go through before they declare something historically significant. Ms. Greene
added the Board of Works is in control of the placement of signs in the right -of -way, but the
Historical Preservation Society is in control of these types of informational requests, not the
Board. She requested Mr. Mecham get their approval before installation,
- Addition to the Agenda
Mr. Mecham informed the Board members that he would like to bring an agenda item to the
Board on Tuesday for a legal description for a redistricting map for the Common Council, per
their request.
- Agreement — Trustee of the Mishawaka/South Bend Trust
Ms. Greene explained that this agreement is for the transfer of air strippers at Rum Village. She
noted the Water Department installed them under order from IDEM, and the City has been
holding them, but they don't have title; they are a trustee holding the equipment. She noted the
wells are abandoned because there was no need for them at their current location, and now the
City has to release them as holder of the equipment to transfer them to the City of Troy, Ohio
who has asked to purchase them.
- Addendum No. 7 to Professional Services Contract -- Troyer Group
Mr. Patrick Henthorn stated this addendum is for the addition of pot holing for Lincolnway West
and Diamond Avenue, and additional bidding services for the Troyer Group. He noted the
original project was not split into three (3) phases that would have covered this work. Mr. Gilot
asked what the cost of the pot holing is. Mr. Henthorn stated it is an additional $33,000.00. Mr.
Mecham noted they are addressing additional concerns on closing such a busy street.
- Professional Services Agreement — Christopher Burke Engineering
Mr. Jitin Kain, Community and Economic Development, stated Christopher Burke previously
submitted a claim for $68,000.00 for work already performed. He noted the $39.700.00 is a
discount price given they already did some work. Ms. Greene requested Mr. Kain make a formal
presentation on Tuesday as requested by Ms. Roos.
PRIVILEGE OF THE FLOOR- -
Mr. Murray Miller, Local Union No. 645, asked who is parking on the closed section of
Twyckenham Drive during Notre Dame home games. Mr. Mecham stated the Police and security
are using the street to park on during football games for Police working the games. He added
they stated they've been doing it for a long time. Mr. Gilot stated if it's a continuing event, they
need to get approval from the board for closing a street. Mr. Miller asked if St. Joseph School
has done a petition for permission for putting cones up and blocking traffic during school pick-
up and drop -off. Mr. Gilot stated that actually Uniform Traffic Control regulations state schools
and traffic control should meet regularly with Police and address the school traffic issues and
come up with a plan. He noted the City Engineer is responsible for addressing these issues.
Mr. Jaynes Garner, Local Union No. 150, asked what the status is on the City's resolution on
responsible and responsive bidding, and wages. Ms. Greene stated it should be ready for the next
meeting in December. She noted she is working on the wording on the training, and once
approved, it should go into effect in January. Mr. Gilot stated the City and the Unions are
aligned, we just are trying to keep it from becoming a huge administrative burden. Mr. Garner
thanked the City for addressing this union issue and listening to their concerns.
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 12:12 p.m.

The regular meeting of the Board of Public Works was convened at 9:35 a.m. on Tuesday,
November 20, 2012, by Board President Gary A. Gilot, with Board Members Kathryn E. Roos,
and Michael Mecham present. Board Members Donald Inks and Mark Neal were absent. Also

Agenda Review Session of November 1, 2012, the Regular Meeting of November 6, 2012 and
the Claims Meeting of the Board held on November 13, 2012, were approved.
OPENING OF BIDS — MAIN STREET/LAFAYETTE BOULEVARD CONNECTOR —
PROJECT NO. 110 -058B SSDA TIF
Mr. Jitin Kain, Community Investment, noted this item was not advertised because it was not
ready yet, and should have been pulled from the agenda. No bids were received.
OPENING AND AWARD OF BIDS —F CUBED LABORATORY EQUIPMENT PURCHASES
_(CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS)
Mr. Gilot stated this bid is for the acquisition of key equipment that will allow F Cubed to add
high paying jobs to South Bend. He noted they will be moving from Innovation Park to Ignition
Park. Ms. Greene stated that she has received a legal opinion from Bakers and Daniels Law Firm
justifying the use of TIF dollars for this project for the file. Mr. Gilot stated the City has an
interest in using this technology for several reasons including e -coli testing of their water, to
provide results in one (1) hour, versus the standard twenty -four (24) hours. The other
applications will provide food contamination testing providing one (1) hour results, rather than a
week; and MERSA contamination in humans in expedited time, for surgical suites. Mr. Gilot
noted this new technology could grow here and change the world's technology for environmental
testing of water, food, and health.
This was the date set for receiving and opening of sealed bids for the above referenced project.
The Clerk tendered proofs of publication of Notice in the South Bend Tribune and the Tri-

QUOTATION: $68,230.00
Upon a motion made by Mr. Gilot, seconded by Ms. Roos and carried, the above Quotations
were referred to Community Investment and Engineering for review and recommendation. After
reviewing the quotes, Mr. Carl Littrell, Engineering, recommended that the Board award the
contract to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, Jackson Trucking & Excavating in the
amount of $29,800.00. Mr. Jitin Kain, Community Investment, noted there was not sufficient
funding to award the quotation in its entirety, but the difference was small enough that a transfer
of funds could be done to cover the difference. Mr. Littrell noted there is also a contingency of
$5,000.00 included in the quotation that will most likely not be used. He questioned if they could
use that to cover the difference amounting to approximately $700.00. Ms. Greene stated if they
deduct the contingency from the awarded company's bid, they would have to deduct it from the
other bids also. She noted that would not change the result, so it would be allowable. Therefore,
Ms. Roos made a motion that the recommendation be accepted and the bid be awarded and the
contract approved subject to funding. Mr. Gilot seconded the motion, which carried.
AWARD BID AND APPROVE CONTRACT— ONE 1 2012 OR NEWER NEW FOUR
WHEEL MECHANICAL STREET SWEEPER
Matt Chlebowski, Central Services, advised the Board that on August 14, 2012, bids were
received and opened for the above referenced project. After reviewing those bids, Mr.
Chlebowski recommended that the Board award the contract to the lowest responsive and
responsible bidder Brown Equipment Company, Inc., 10603 Majic Port Lane, Fort Wayne,
Indiana 46899 -9799 in the amount of $203,000.00. Therefore, Mr. Gilot made a motion that the
recommendation be accepted and the bid be awarded and the contract approved subject to the
lease financing. Ms. Roos seconded the motion, which carried.
TABLE BID AWARD - PARKING GARAGE LIGHTING UPGRADE — PROJECT NO. 112-
058
Mr. Gilot stated there is still an evaluation in process of this bid and he would therefore like to
table the award. Ms. Greene stated she sent an email to State Board of Accounts to ask if this bid
could be divided, based on the specifications, and she has not yet heard back. She noted the
funding is in place for only two (2) of the garages and the request from the Energy Office is to
REGULAR MEETING NOVEMBER 20 2012 373
award those two and reserve the option to extend the bid on the third garage until funding is
allocated next year. Mr. Gilot noted that he has other issues with some of the technical items in
the bid specifications. Therefore, Ms. Roos made a motion that the award of the bid be tabled.
Mr. Gilot seconded the motion, which carried.
MOVE AWARD OF SPECIAL PURCHASE AND CONTRACT — RESPONSE AND RESCUE
VEHICLE_(POLICE DEPARTMENT PERMIT REVENUE FUND)
Ms. Roos requested the award of this Special Purchase be delayed until Board Member Mark
