Attorney Schmidt noted the property has only come into the City's possession since the start of
May. The property's issues existed prior to the transfer of ownership to the City but are working
diligently to address the emergency conditions of the property.
Mr. Gilot asked if the scope not only addressed the repairs to the building to prevent more leaks
but also protected the building's fagade. Engineer Zach Hurst stated that future work and bid
packages are being prepared and will include an architect, brick masonry, windows, and ceilings,
but at this time, the focus is to stop the leaks. Mr. Hurst stated they hoped to get the bid packages
out before winter.
Board members discussed the following item(s) from the agenda.
AGREEMENTS/CONTRACT S/PROPOSALS/ADDENDA
Assistant City Engineer Jacob Klosinski was present to discuss item 13.J:
Ratify Emergency Repair - Emergency Sewer Repair at Woodward Ave. and California Ave.
Intersection with HRP Construction Inc. Engineer Klosinski stated this was a brick sewer on
California Ave and Woodward Ave. that collapsed and there was a basement that backed up and
HRP came in to help replace the manhole structure and bypass pumping.
AGREEMENTS/CONTRACTS/PROPOSALS/ADDENDA
Assistant City Engineer Jacob Klosinski was present to discuss item 13.K: Ratify Emergency Repair
— Emergency Sewer Repair at Western Ave. and Chapin St. Intersection with Selge Construction Co,
Inc. Engineer Klosinski stated this was a brick sewer on Western Ave. and Chapin St. This was a
result of a fiber optic cable from a private utility company that had worked through a thirty (30) inch
brick sewer and at some point should be resulting in a damage claim with the company to recoup the
cost of the emergency work done by Selge and for City staffs' time.
Mr. Gilot asked if we have any sort of "no-fault" with any of the major companies like I&M or NIPSCO
that doesn't apply to fiber. Engineer Klosinski, and Attorney Schmidt both did not know of such an
agreement.
AGREEMENTS/CONTRACTS/PROPOSALS/ADDENDA
Mr. Gilot asked about the scope for Item 13.A: Amendment No. 3 to Professional Services
Agreement — Addition of Full Design for the Extension of Western Ave. and Signal Modifications
at the Intersection of Western Ave and MLK for the Riverfront West Urban Neighborhood
Development with Lochmueller Group, Inc.
Engineer Charlie Brach stated that this was for extending Western Ave. into Riverfront West to
meet Fellows where we are going to extend Fellows from the North and intersection improvements
REGULAR MEETING MAY 13, 2025 101
at MLK. She informed Mr. Gilot the million -dollar total includes designs efforts and more, not
just the cost of the construction. Director Horvath added that the whole area is being redone and
water needs to be moved, so it is a large project.
AGREEMENTS/CONTRACTS/PROPOSALS/ADDENDA
Mr. Gilot noted for the record that the price on the agenda review session agenda was incorrect
and the regular meeting agenda will reflect the correct price of $48,000 for item 13.13: Professional
Services Agreement — Design and Bid Document Preparation for a New Elevator Installation and the
Nexus Center with JQOL Quality of Life. Mr. Gilot added that he thought it was good to use a minority -
owned business enterprise for this design effort.
AGREEMENTS/CONTRACTS/PROPOSALS/ADDENDA
Mr. Gilot wanted to note something for the record regarding item 13.C: Amendment No. 3 to
Professional Services Agreement — Bid Package Preparation for the Demolition of Rabbi Shulman
Apartments with Abonmarche Consultants. He clarified that although the City is financially
assisting in the demolition of a Federal Housing Authority building, the City is not responsible for
the 1:1 replacement of the units which is normally the case —if you get rid of housing, you must
create new housing. President Maradik stated it was her understanding that the City is not
responsible in this case and it is the Housing Authority's responsibility to file all the appropriate
paperwork and get authorities through HUD to be able to demolish and come up with a plan for
what the replacement will look like.
CHANGE ORDERS AND PROJECT COMPLETION AFFIDAVITS
Attorney Schmidt informed the Board that the MWBE goals were met for item 9.A: Change Order
and Project Completion Affidavit - Wastewater Treatment Plant Yard Piping Improvements
Contract A with HRP Construction Inc.
PROJECT COMPLETION AFFIDAVITS
Attorney Schmidt informed the Board that there was a change in the utilization plan for item 10.A:
Project Completion Affidavit- Drewry's Brewery Cleanup Phase II with Green Demolition
Contractors Inc. He clarified that how the concrete was handled, it required less trucking and
resulted in a change to the women -owned business participation goals.
