HomeMy WebLinkAbout09132022 Board of Public Works MeetingAGENDA REVIEW SESSION SEPTEMBER 8, 2022 200
The Agenda Review Session of the Board of Public Works was convened at 10:44 a.m. on September 8, 2022, by Board President Elizabeth A. Maradik, Vice President Joseph Molnar,
and Board Members Gary Gilot, Jordan Gathers (virtual), Murray Miller (absent), and Board
Attorney Michael Schmidt present. Acting Board of Public Works Clerk Laura Hensley, presented the Board with a proposed agenda of items presented by the public and by City Staff. President Maradik noted that there is a new Board attorney, Mr. Michael Schmidt. She also thanked Attorney Clara McDaniels for her service.
Board members discussed the following item(s) from the agenda.
Opening of Quotations Engineer Charlie Brach was present to bring information to the Board for item 3.B: 2022 Rubber
Speed Table and Speed Cushion Installations. Ms. Brach stated that this project would not have
MWBE goals as it was not commercially reasonable to subcontract out parts of the project. She said that she hoped the $120,000 estimate for the project was high and stated that the quote was divisible. She stated there were some issues with last year’s smaller trial due to snowplows and the manufacturer made some modifications to their materials so this year they are running a
larger trial again before deploying more. Board Attorney Schmidt stated that ODI had approved
the commercial and reasonable designation on that particular project.
Reject Bids and Quotations Engineer Leslie Biek was present to discuss item 6.B: Neighborhood Infrastructure- Riverside
Dr. and Leland Ave. She stated that the first bid was firm on a deadline for a project completion
date within 2022, but contractors requested the project completion dates be extended into 2023. She continued to note that because they stuck with their 2022 completion date, bids came in remarkably high so now there is a plan to rebid the project with a 2023 completion date in hopes to receive more reasonable bids. She suggested that redrafting of the bid could include the
request for demolition work to not start prior to the contractor being ready for construction to
avoid the project site being torn up months before work officially starts.
Mr. Gilot mentioned the drastic increase in prices for labor and materials which is sending the message that contractors do not have the capacity to take on jobs. He asked if there
was any possibility of looking into advanced material procurement or lease payments to get more
equipment in contactors’ hands to enhance the productivity of labor they do have. He exclaimed that skilled people with more of the right tools will be able to do more of the City’s work at a more affordable price. Public Works Director Eric Horvath replied that extreme delays in materials have become a big issue this year. Director Horvath did inform the Board that they did
have success in getting competitive quotes by reaching out to smaller contractors and businesses.
He continued to say that dividing projects up into small enough chunks will allow smaller niche business to be able to bid on projects that they would not otherwise bid on.
City Engineer Kara Boyles offered up the idea of considering other delivery methods for
city projects. She noted that traditionally the department’s way of doing business is
design/bid/build. She said that the Board could consider other procurement options like design/build, Construction Manager at Risk, or guaranteed savings contracts in lieu of going to the open market. Mr. Gilot noted that Council would have to delegate that authority to the Board of Public Works like they have in the past and said he would need that to happen again to feel
comfortable with delivery changes. Ms. Boyles stated that foundations were introduced to
improve the bidding environment at the Council budget meeting.
Award Quotations and Approve Contracts President Maradik had a question about item 5.A: 2022 Brick Spot Repairs. She noticed that it
said it was an award with the opening on September 8, 2022. She asked if this was a small, internal, and informal quote and if that was why the opening was not on the agenda. Acting Board Clerk Hensley confirmed.
Reject Bids and Quotations
President Maradik asked on whether there were plans to add readvertising to item 6.A: Morris Box Office Renovation for the rejection of bids for this project on the agenda. She clarified that she knew with the Morris’ 100th anniversary coming up she knew there was a time crunch and said rejecting the bid and requesting to re-advertise and re-bid in the same meeting would save
REGULAR MEETING SEPTEMBER 13, 2022 201
some time and move the project along. Acting Board Clerk Hensley confirmed that she had asked the project manager, and they did not want to re-advertise/re-bid at this time.
Agreements/Contracts/Proposals/Addenda President Maradik asked about item 11.A: Memorandum of Understanding with Early Bird Eatery, LLC. She said she wanted to confirm that Early Bird was aware they may need to follow other processes, and this might not be the only approval they need to do the mural. She said for
example if they plan to be in the right-of-way for an extended amount of time, they may need an
encroachment permit. Vice President Joseph Molnar said he would get back together with the owners and the muralist and make sure that was clear to them so that there would be no surprises down the road and would make sure that they applied for a sign permit after the MOU approval at the regular meeting.
Licenses and Permits President Maradik raised a question for item 12.B: Public Parking Facility License with Mary Coyne Investments (123 N. Main Street). She recalled an engineering comment about the parking signs being out of compliance for not providing the hours of operation on the signs. She
said that last year the Board approved the permit subject to them updating the signs with times
and that was never done. She said she was hesitant to renew the license without there being assurance that the times would be added to the signs as they were required to do last year. She requested the Board not act on this item unless there is some sort of communication with the license applicants before the regular meeting. Acting Board Clerk Hensley confirmed that she
could send out a letter to the applicant. President Maradik and Mr. Gilot requested that the City’s
legal team review the letter prior to being sent out.
PRIVILEGE OF THE FLOOR Mr. Gilot asked about a four-way stop that was approved a while back by the Board for Notre
Dame Ave. and South Bend Ave. and informed the Board that he has not seen the four-way stop
installed. Mr. Gilot raised a concern of liability for the City if there were to be an accident there when a four-way stop was approved months prior. City Engineer Kara Boyles stated they had done a warrant analysis of that intersection but did not feel comfortable installing the signs given the development that was happening at the intersection and the need to improve the ramps. She
added that engineering is making those capital changes and recalled the project will be bid out
towards the end of this year and constructed next year. She stated that she would have Charlie Brach, the Engineer in charge of the project, send out a memo for the record. Mr. Gilot thanked Ms. Boyles and her team for doing their due diligence on this complicated case. Attorney Schmidt requested engineers send out updates to the Board for projects that are on hold due to
unforeseen circumstances, additional studies, or changes to the timeline.
Vice President Molnar also stated for the record that the City closed on the property off of Monroe St.
