The Agenda Review Session of the Board of Public Works was convened at 10:32 a.m. on
Thursday, February 7, 2013, by Board President Gary A. Gilot, with Board Members Donald E.
Inks, Kathryn E. Roos, and Mark W. Neal present. Board Member Michael Mecham 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.
APPROVE PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT — NEUMANAGEMENT LLC
(PROFESSIONAL SERVICES)
Mr. Gilot advised that the Board is in receipt of a request to approve a Professional Services
Agreement from Dan Neuman with NeuManagement, LLC in the amount of $5,000.00. Mr.
Neuman will be a contracted Project Manager for the Code Enforcement Department, Mr. Mark
Neal, Controller, stated they've identified some issues with some of the processes Code
Enforcement handles that could use some improvement and hired this individual to assist with
the review of their processes. He noted this would need to be approved subject to legal review.
Attorney Cheryl Greene stated she just got their proposal and needs to prepare the Professional
Services Agreement, so this should be approved subject to the terms. Ms. Greene state she has
concerns about finalization of agreements that are added last minute. She noted she has a
standard agreement, but the terms must meet State Board of Accounts very definitive
requirements. Mr. Neal requested a copy of those requirements to work with Purchasing to
finalize the agreement. Upon a motion made by Mr. Neal, seconded by Mr. Inks and carried, the
Professional Services Agreement was approved subject to legal.
The Board discussed the following agenda items:
- Request to Advertise for 2013 Trucking of Belt -Pressed Biosolids for Land Application
Mr. Jacob Klosinski, Environmental Services, stated the information regarding the type of truck
the bidder will use for this hauling, must be included with their bid, and if they have subs, they
need to submit that information with their bid also. He noted the truck specifications are included
in the bid requiring a sealed tailgate, among other things. Mr. Klosinski stated they are looking at
doing the specifications differently next year, possibly charging by miles or another category,
rather than time. Mr. Gilot noted this is a bid that could apply to a lot of minority contractors. He
stated the City needs to increase the use of minority businesses; people are going to judge us by
our numbers. Mr. Gilot noted this is an opportunity to increase the numbers.
- Award Proposal and Approve Professional Services Agreement — Edison Road Center
Turn Lane Construction
Mr. John Engstrom, Engineering, stated INDOT provided a scoring sheet for proposals received
for this inspection service. Each of the nine (9) firms was scored based on that form, and
American Structurepoint was chosen as the high scorer.
- Professional Services Contract — Olive Street/Sample Street Overpass Design Agreement
Mr. John Engstrom, Engineering, stated that three (3) firms provided Professional Service
Contracts which the County and City reviewed and rated. DLZ Indiana, LLC was chosen as the
highest scorer. He noted the City picks up 100% of the design cost of this project. Ms. Greene
asked if there should be an inter -local agreement with the County for this project, noting there
should be some kind of cooperative agreement
- Open and Award Quotation — Fire Escape Kits
Mr. George King, Purchasing, stated this quote will be opened Tuesday. Fire Chief Steve Cox
stated when this was originally done the costs came in between $60,000.00 to $75,000.00, so
they looked at a different approach. It was determined that if the rope was purchased and the Fire
Department cut out the excess, it would reduce costs. Ms. Greene questioned if that would
invalidate the warranty. Chief Cox stated no, it is done all the time. He noted the Fire
Department just bought all new turnout gear with safety harnesses, but nothing to hook into. He
noted that is why it is important to move forward as soon as possible with this purchase.
- Special Purchase — Xtreme Rescue Device for Fire Department
Attorney Cheryl Greene stated this is a Special Purchase for HALO rescue devices that are
compatible with existing equipment, and after testing, found to be the safest equipment on the
market.
- Special Purchase — Stryker Power Cots
Mr. Andy Meyer, Fire Department, explained the current cots used by the Fire Department are
not compatible with the County or Notre Dame's. Ms. Greene stated with contracts with both of
these groups, the Fire Department must be able to fulfill the terms of their contract, and the
current cots are not compatible. Chief Cox stated these cots have a lift system built in that helps
prevent back injury. He noted that initially Strycker was the high bid. However, Ferno's charging
AGENDA REVIEW SESSION FEBRUARY 7 2013 24
system for the lift feature are built into the vehicles, so no external charging system can be used,
and no other brand of cot is able to fit into the charger. Chief Cox noted that Strycker cots have a
removable battery for charging. He added they have had problems with chargers being ripped
out when the cots were pulled out of the ambulance, and the expense to repair them is excessive.
Chief Cox stated they don't have any in-house technicians to work on the Femo cots, but they
have five (5) technicians to work on the Strycker cots. He noted that they will be trading in the
old Ferno cots for the new Strycker cots, and will receive credit for the trade-in value.
Maintenance Service Agreement — Driving Simulator
Fire Chief Cox stated Doron Precision System's, Inc. contract is being renewed for maintenance
on the department's driving simulator. He noted there is huge value in this type of equipment;
accidents are notably down, with only one (1) that he could recall last year.
Professional Services Agreement — Fire Training Center Consulting
Fire Chief Steve Cox stated this project is unbelievably exciting to finally see happen, after
nearly twenty (20) years of discussion about doing it. He noted it is approximately a
$4,000,000.00 project, but the consultant, Development Strategies Group is only charging
$49,000.00. He said he spoke to the consultant and his intent is to have it operational by October.
PRIVILEGE OF THE FLOOR
Mr. Murray Miller, Local No. 645, questioned if the specifications for the 2013 Manhole Repair
bid were the same as used in previous years, limiting the bidders. Mr. Gilot stated they were
supposed to be redone to open up the bid to make it applicable to more bidders. Ms. Greene
stated last year's bid specifications were written so a bidder needed "x" amount of repairs in "x"
amount of years, and that was the problem. She noted the specifications required a large amount
of repairs that few companies could meet. Ms. Greene added that she thought that wording was
taken out. Mr. Gilot request Mr. Eric Horvath, Director of Public Works, review the
specifications.
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 1 I : 4 0 a.m.

the building and she has obtained an extra $300,000.00 in insurance due to the historic nature of
her building. Mr. Gilot noted the Police Department requires that each of her massage therapists
be licensed and submit their credentials to the City. She confirmed they are all licensed through

In a memorandum to the Board, Mr. Matthew Chlebowski, Central Services, requested
permission to advertise for the receipt of bids for the above referenced vehicles. Ms. Roos
questioned if these were replacement or new vehicles. Mr. Jeff Hudak, Central Services, stated
one is to replace the van currently used to pull the Fire Safety House, another is a replacement
for a Hazmat vehicle with some serious problems, and the other is for the River Rescue use. Fire
Chief Steve Cox noted currently the River Rescue team must search for a vehicle when needed;
there is none associated with the rescue vehicle. He added this causes them to lose time and is a
safety issue. Therefore, upon a motion made by Ms. Roos, seconded by Mr. Mecham and
carried, the above request was approved.

RE CKING OF O BELT -PRESSED BIOSOLIDS FOR LAND APPLICATION _(ORGANIC
In a memorandum to the Board, Mr. Jacob Klosinski, Environmental Services, requested
permission to advertise for the receipt of bids for the above referenced project. Mr. Gilot noted
this bid has good potential for meeting MBEIWBE requirements if written to encourage smaller
business owners to participate. Mr. George King, Purchasing, stated they have been coordinating
this with trucking companies to meet that goal. Mr. Gilot suggested reducing the minimum fleet
requirement would allow a smaller business to bid. Mr. Eric Horvath, Director of Public Works,
agreed and stated they could look at that, suggesting it could also drive down the bids and
provide lower costs to the City. Therefore, upon a motion made by Mr. Gilot, seconded by Mr.
Mecham and carried, the above request was approved subject to the Public Work's Director
working with Organic Resources to review the specifications to encourage Minority Businesses
to bid.

Central Services, stated these are both replacement vehicles. Ms. Roos questioned if it would be
possible that these could be CNG conversions. Mr. Hudak stated it is possible. He noted the
placement of the tanks and equipment would be a challenge because these are compact cars and
space is already limited. Mr. Gilot asked if hybrids should be requested. Mr. Hudak stated
hybrids are an option in the specifications, but he added, the request is for pre -owned vehicles so
that option may not be met. Therefore, upon a motion made by Mr. Mecham, seconded by Ms.
Roos and carried, the above request was approved.

permission to advertise for the receipt of bids for the above referenced vehicles. Mr. Gilot
questioned if these are hybrids. Mr. Chlebowski stated originally the nine Police vehicles were
supposed to be hybrids, but the Police Department is changing their minds about hybrids. He
stated they feel there is not enough room for all of their Police equipment and want to go to full
size vehicles and five all -wheel -drive SUV's. Mr. Chlebowski stated he informed them that he
can't make that change on his own, he doesn't have the authority. He noted he has attempted to
set up a meeting with the Police Department to discuss the options and has not been able to. Ms.
Roos suggested the item be tabled until they could all sit down and discuss hybrid options. Mr.
Chlebowski requested approval to move forward with the Water Works and Safety and Risk

vehicles. Attorney Cheryl Greene noted the bid calls for eleven (11) more or less, so they don't
have to award eleven (11) vehicles, but it may be good to go ahead and advertise and possibly
get bulk pricing. She added they would then also be ready should they decide to move forward
with these vehicles for the Police Department. Therefore, upon a motion made by Mr. Gilot,
seconded by Ms. Roos and carried, the above request was approved subject to a meeting with the
Police Department.
