The Agenda Review Session of the Board of Public Works was convened at 10:35 a.m. on
Thursday, May 23, 2013, by Board President Mr. Gary A. Gilot, with Board Members David P.
Relos, Kathryn E. Roos, Michael C. Mecharn and Mark W. Neal present. 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.
APPROVAL OF PERMITS/LICENSES
The following processions were presented for ap roval:
Applicant I Description Date/Time Motion
West Side Memorial Procession — West Side Carried
May 27, 2013; 8:15 Roos/Mecham
Day Parade Committee Memorial Day Parade a.m. to 11:00 a.m
South Bend Career Procession ---- Memorial Day May 24, 2013; 9.30 Roos/Relos
Academy March a.m. to 11:00 a.m.
Board members discussed the following items from the agenda.
- Award Bids - Tandem Axle Multi -Use Dump Trucks
Mr. Jeff Hudak, Equipment Services, stated two bidders bid on two specifications for these dump
trucks, the reason for two separate awards. He noted Hill Truck Sales had a better trade-in dollar
value which brought their cost down. Mr. Hudak stated the Street Department had only one
trade-in because they originally intended to purchase one truck, but when one of theirs broke
down it was deemed necessary to purchase an additional one. He explained that brought their
cost up, plus they had just one trade-in.
- Award Bid — Extended Cab Four -Wheel Drive Pick -Up Truck
Mr. Hudak stated this is a replacement truck and will be purchased with a plow to make it more
useful. He noted the bid is being awarded to the low bidder.
- Bid Award Extension — Trailer Mounted Leaf Vacs
Mr. Hudak stated they are taking advantage of an option that was included in the 2012 bid specs
which stated this bid could be extended for one year from the award of the bid in 2012. He noted
they are extending the bid due to a very large price increase in this equipment.
- Professional Services Agreement m-- Greeley and Hansen, LLC
Mr. Jack Dillon, Engineering, stated this is the 2013 Long Term Control Plan Monitoring
agreement. He noted it is considerably less than previous years, and was budgeted for over
$300,000.00, but only came in at $164,000.00. Mr. Eric Horvath, Director of Public Works,
questioned how many flow meters this covers. Mr. Dillon stated it covers five (5) and Emnet is
adding flow monitors, after which Greeley and Hansen will recalculate the data.
- Professional Services Proposal — McCormick Engineering, LLC
Mr. Jack Dillon, Engineering, stated McCormick did a study and submitted their report in
January on Bowman Creek, The EPA did not comment back, so they are now moving ahead with
the eighteen (18) tasks required by the Supplemental Environmental Project (SEP). Mr. Dillon
noted once this is complete, it will conclude the SEP. Mr. Gilot explained the attempt is to slow
down the flow of the creek to be more constant to decrease problems associated with current
flow patterns.
- Reject Bids and Re -Advertise Infrared Pavement Patching
Mr. Paul South, Director, Street Department, stated this request is to allow a revision to the
specifications, to make them more performance based. Mr. Eric Horvath, Director of Public
Works, added they don't have a good clear spec to base the award of a low bid on. Attorney
Cheryl Greene stated they set the experience requirement too high. Mr. Horvath added they had
nothing in the specifications to hold the contractor accountable for the quality of their work to
protect the City from poor workmanship.
Special Purchase — WHP Training Towers
Assistant Chiefs Todd Skwarcan and John Cortier, Fire Department, stated they worked with
Engineering on whether to construct a Fire Training Tower and Burn Building, or buy pre-
engineered buildings. They stated the decision was made that the pre-engineered buildings were
the way to go. Assistant Chief Skwarcan stated the savings of approximately $ I o0,000.00 in the
engineering and construction costs justifies the purchase as a substantial savings. He stated
Assistant Chief Cortier did research and found that only one company, WHP Training Towers,
provides the quality and options needed. He stated their towers are made to be moved around and
reconfigured for continual training opportunities. He added they are constructed of much higher
grade steel that provides a longer life. The construction also provides a dark interior, unlike the
competitors, that is necessary to create the conditions encountered in a real fire. Assistant Chief
Skwarcan noted the cost is $1,970,279.00, up from the $1,656,611.00 he originally submitted for
AGENDA REVIEW SESSION MAY 23, 2013 158
the agenda. Ms. Greene asked if they know what the cost would have been to construct. Chief
Skwarcan stated it would have been approximately $100,000.00 more. Ms. Greene noted this is
kind of a unique situation because the training facility specifications are currently being written,
but this can be specified to build or purchase. The specifications would require that the pre-
engineered building's installation be incorporated in the specifications. She added that
$100,000.00 qualifies as substantial savings, one of the criteria for a special purchase. The other
criteria of sole source is met because there are other vendors, but this one has higher quality steel
that the competitors do not use, plus the versatility factor. She added they will have to purchase
these buildings prior to bidding the construction of the site. Mr. Mecham noted the weight load
needs to be addressed and incorporated into the specifications, along with poured footings that
have to fit when the buildings are set in place. Ms. Roos questioned how much construction will
be required, and how much is the company responsible for. Chief Skwarcan stated the utilities
would have to be addressed, but they do the rest of the installation. Ms. Greene stated they need
to look at Engineering for guidance, and should check Building regulations. Chief Skwarcan
stated it might need some review of State regulations, but as an unoccupied training center, it
doesn't need to meet the local building regulations. Mr. Eric Horvath, Director of Public Works,
asked if they had the cost savings broken out to show where the savings come in. Chief
Skwarcan stated they don't, but they added some training props they would need to purchase
because this company gets a 17% discount on these. He noted that is part of the reason for the
increase in cost. Ms. Greene asked if they have an estimate on how much those would cost on the
open market. Chief Skwarcan stated they can get that information. Ms. Roos asked how far out
are they from putting out the specifications. Mr. Mecham stated it is scheduled to bid at the end
of July. Ms. Roos questioned if they could write the bid specs with alternates to do the pad for
placement of the pre-engineered buildings, or build the tower. Chief Skwarcan stated they
pursued that angle, but the timeline would not work out then. He noted the specifications are
ready to go, so if they get the approval, they are ready to proceed with the bidding. Ms. Roos
requested Chief Skwarcan get a clear breakdown of cost by Tuesday's meeting, noting there is a
lot of difference in the increase to the original cost. Mr. Neal questioned if they knew what the
useful life of the facilities would be. Chief Skwarcan stated it is comparable to the built towers.
Mr. George King, Purchasing, stated he will need the fire Department to come up with a clear
line -by-line savings report showing this is a substantial savings. Mr. Neal added he will need a
clear picture of the proposed timeline for the bonding issue. Ms. Roos requested that the Fire
Chief, Steve Cox, come to Tuesday's meeting to address some of the issues. Mr. Gilot stated
they need an independent, objective comparison, not one done by the manufacturer.
- Amendment to Professional Services Agreement -- DLZ Indiana, LLC
Mr. Eric Horvath stated this is for survey work to move to the next phase of the two-way traffic
study but they are not ready to proceed yet. He requested this agreement be removed from the
agenda.
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 12:08 p.m.

PRIVILEGE OF THE FLOOR
Mr. Toy Villa, Engineering, stated he wanted to make the Board aware of a situation with the
Memorial Hospital skyway window replacement project. He noted that when the windows were
removed, the contractor, Gibson Lewis, encountered mold. The City has been waiting on a
solution for mediation and meanwhile the contractor has been sent home. Mr. Villa stated as a
result, they are going to need a sixty (60) day extension. He noted this is a private issue, with the
owners, Holladay Corporation, paying for the remediation at no cost to the City. Ms. Greene
asked if the Board needed to amend the contract with Gibson Lewis. Mr. Villa stated no, he
would be presenting a Change Order; he just wanted to give the Board a heads -up on the
situation.
Mr. Murray Miller, Local 645, asked what the reason was for rejecting the bids for the Infrared
Pavement Patching Project. Ms. Greene stated the bid specifications needed to be re -worked; the
previous bid specs were used and the Board wasn't happy with the wording. Mr. Gilot explained
REGULAR MEETING MAY 28, 2013 170
there was ambiguity on the quality of the work, and the experience requirements were too high.
Ms. Greene added they are looking for performance based specifications and it was difficult to
determine if the current specs were divisible. Mr. Gilot noted if they can divide the specs, they
can get more bids and possibly smaller companies that can do some of the work.
APPROVE SPECIAL PURCHASE — WHP TRAINING TOWERS (EMS CAPITAL)
Mr. Gilot stated this item was discussed in great detail at the Agenda Review Session and he was
looking for a cost breakdown and an independent third party analysis of the proposal from WHP
for the purchase of a pre-engineered fire training tower and burn building. Fire Chief Steve Cox
presented a letter of recommendation from Terry Haymond, Development Strategies Group,
confirming he has no proprietary interest. Chief Cox stated Mr. Haymond added information on
the cost comparison, structural durability, and maintenance costs, and gave three scenarios and
the costs associated with the type of structure purchased. Chief Cox noted the first ten years of
maintenance on a constructed steel building average around $100,000.00 versus only $25,000.00
on the pre -fabricated structures. Chief Cox stated he would like to purchase the structure with the
brick facade for several reasons. He noted it will be very visible in its' current location and the
brick will look nicer; and brick walls will hold up structurally longer and better than steel walls.
He added that fire fighter ladders are heavy enough to dent a metal wall when placed against it.
Chief Cox stated that there are two companies that provide pre -manufactured buildings, however
one is not customizable. WHP Training Tower's buildings are. He stated when you are building
almost a $4,000,000.00 training facility you need to be able to change the set-up for good
training scenarios; you can't have the same set-up every time. Another concern, he stated, is the
potential for the corrugated steel interior walls to warp. Chief Cox stated WHP is the only
provider that has paginated liners that are heat resistant. He noted the Fire Department will be
spraying a lot of water in there and the other company has had problems with rusting walls. Mr.
Gilot noted there appears to be savings but the Fire Department added back prop items that eat
up the savings. Chief Cox stated he asked WHP to re -work the estimate, eliminating some of the
props because they are movable so the Fire Department does not need so many. He added that
WHP's cost is 17% lower than the Fire Department's costs on the props. Ms. Greene stated they
have two separate items here, the purchase of the buildings and the purchase of props, and they
need to keep them separate. She added this situation is very different from what is normally
done; they are integrating two modular units into a construction project. She noted the general
contractor will be integrated into the installation of the tower with the pouring of the base, so
common construction wages will need to be used. Ms. Roos noted they need to make sure there
are also savings in the design of a pre -fabricated building versus design of the construction of the
building. Chief Cox stated he spoke to the Architect and they can do the design. Ms. Greene
added they need to confirm the scope of their work can be reduced. Mr. Relos asked if there is a
guarantee on the brick facade, noting concerns regarding the effects of excessive heating and
water spraying. Chief Cox stated this company has built more than five -hundred (500) of these
buildings and has a terrific history of construction in all types of climates. Assistant Chief Todd
Skwarean added that the inside walls are treated to keep the outside walls cool.
Mr. Gilot stated his previous questions were answered regarding showing the detailed savings,
and an independent letter of recommendation. Ms. Greene stated she sees this as a significant
savings purchase. She added that based on the construction, it does not fit a sole source; however
the other manufacturer does not meet the quality of the construction of WHP. Mr. Gilot stated he
would like to see quotes on the props and see whether there are savings here. Chief Cox stated he
already has Mr. Haymond working on this. Ms. Greene added she would want to treat the props
as a separate significant savings purchase. She noted the project is being financed with a bond;
they would need to make sure the bond would cover the props. Ms. Roos noted there was an
error on the Scenario III cost analysis, with the brick facade. She noted the memo stated "less
Nichiha Brick" and it should state "plus Nichiha brick". Mr. Gilot made a motion to approve the
Special Purchase of the Scenario III engineered training tower and burn building in the adjusted
amount of $1,869,447.00 subject to removal of the props from the purchase; Legal and
Purchasing review; and subject to bond financing. Ms. Roos seconded the motion, which carried.
Mr. Murray Miller, Local No. 645, asked if this project will include any local contractors and if
it is4 o separate projects. Ms. Greene stated it is one construction project with two components.
The training tower and the burn building are being treated as equipment purchases, and all the
rest falls under the general contractor. Mr. Relos questioned what percentage of the project the
building purchase represents. Chief Cox stated it is less than half of the total project.
REGULAR MEETING MAY 28, 2013 171
AUTHORIZE BOARD MEMBER DAVID RELOS TO SIGN CERTAIN DOCUMENTS
Ms. Greene stated she had one additional item she needed to get direction -fromthe Board on.
She stated in the past the Board had authorized former Board member Donald Inks to sign
certain documents related to Community Investment that are administrative in function. She
questioned whether the Board would like to authorize Mr. Ink's replacement on the Board, David
Relos, to take on this administrative task. She noted the documents she is referencing would
include, but not be limited to, plats and real estate closing documents. She asked that the Board
authorize Mr. Relos to sign those documents of administrative function necessary to close on
Board approved development projects and to be outlined in a Resolution she would prepare for
the next Board of Work's meeting. Mr. Gilot made a motion to authorize Mr. Relos to sign those
documents outlined in a resolution to be prepared by Ms. Greene. Ms. Roos seconded the
motion, which carried.
ADJOURNMENT
There being no further business to come before the Board, upon a motion made by Mr. Gilot,
seconded by Ms. Roos and carried, the meeting adjourned at 11:20 a.m.
