HomeMy WebLinkAbout05262026 BPW Meeting Minutes - FinalAGENDA REVIEW SESSION MAY 21, 2026 116
The Agenda Review Session of the Board of Public Works was convened at 10:30 a.m. on
May 21, 2026, by Board President Elizabeth A. Maradik, Vice President Joseph Molnar, and
Board Members Murray Miller (not present), Breana Micou, Abigail Magas and Board
Attorney Michael Schmidt present. The Board of Public Works Clerk, Hillary R. Horvath,
presented the Board with a proposed agenda of items presented by the public and by City
Staff.
AGENDA REVIEW SESSION ACTION ITEM
APPROVAL OF REVOCABLE PERMIT FOR ENCROACHMENT – LIBERTY TOWER
RESIDENCES
President Maradik stated an application for an encroachment and revocable permit has
been received from Liberty Tower Residences for the purpose of allowing a canvas
entrance canopy to be placed in the right-of-way at 211 W. Washington St. The
encroachment shall remain in the right of way until the time as the Board of Public Works
of the City of South Bend shall determine that such encroachment is in any way impairing
or interfering with the highway or with the free and same flow of traffic. Upon a motion
made by VP Molnar, seconded by Ms., Magas and carried by roll call, the encroachment and
revocable permit was approved.
Board members discussed the following item(s) from the agenda.
CHANGE ORDERS
Patrick Sherman presented item 8. B. Byer’s Softball Complex 2024 Renovation, outlining
a $71,000 adjustment, includes both cost savings and additional expenses, with the
largest addition being the repaving of the parking lot after it was determined to be in poor
condition. He noted that the work is funded through a state grant rather than local funds.
Patrick also pointed out that the current contract completion date remains September 30,
2026, though the city expects to grant an extension as the contractor continues working
in good faith to complete the final field. The extension was not yet included in the change
order to ensure the remaining work is completed as required.
AWARD QUOTATIONS AND APPROVE CONTRACTS
Zach Hurst discussed item 7. B. SBFD Station 11 Restroom Installation which involves
installing a women’s restroom at Station 11. Because the project cost is under $50,000,
the fire department handled the quote collection process. Quotes were due the previous
evening, and while final paperwork from the fire department was still pending, the
apparent low quote was from Vera Construction, an MBE firm based in Goshen. Zach said
he was awaiting the final dollar amount and documentation from Assistant Chief
Skwarcan before completing the process and submitting everything to Candy.
CHANGE ORDERS
Zach Hurst presented item 8.A. Demolition of 747-749 Harrison Ave. noting the project
has reached a 20.6% increase in costs after significant asbestos was discovered in the
flooded basement once contractors were able to clear it out and conduct testing. He
explained that the largest expense comes from asbestos-containing wall plaster in the
sanctuary, making the project one of the most extensive asbestos abatement efforts the
city has recently undertaken. Zach noted of the $534,000 contract, more than $200,000
is dedicated solely to asbestos abatement, and also added that although the structure is in
rough condition and requires careful work, the contractors have not encountered major
issues completing the abatement safely.
INDUSTRIAL WASTEWATER DISCHARGE PERMITS
Serena Lozano-Shane from the pretreatment department attended the meeting to
address any questions regarding item 13. A. & B. Industrial Wastewater Discharge
Permits for Amazon Data Center. During the discussion, it was clarified that the item was
simply a short-term extension of previously issued permits with no additional changes.
Serena confirmed that the permits remained otherwise unchanged.
REGULAR MEETING MAY 26, 2026 117
PRIVILEGE OF THE FLOOR
Attorney Michael Schmidt stated there will be an item added to the Agenda for Tuesday,
May 26th. The South Bend Fire Department reached an agreement with the Elkhart Fire
Department to purchase a fire truck for approximately $544,000. Due to conflicting
guidance in the city’s purchasing policy about whether board approval was required,
officials chose to bring the purchase before the board as a precaution. Attorney Schmidt
noted the truck is being acquired under an Indiana code allowing special purchases that
provide substantial savings to government entities. Central Services and the Fire
Department researched the vehicle’s mileage, age, market value, and comparable used
vehicles and determined that the agreed price represented a good value.
Attorney Schmidt also offered special recognition and thanks to Gemma Stanton from the
Engineering Department, noting that it was believed to be her final day with the city, and
expressed appreciation for her contributions and efforts over the past three and a half
years.
Rebecca Plantz, Director of Engineering Services announced a staff update introducing
Jenny Guard as the city’s new senior engineer. Jenny joins the team after approximately 10
years with INDOT and brings additional experience that will help strengthen the
department’s work. Rebecca noted is expected to assist with development projects, capital
work in the right way, utility coordination, and improving overall team efficiency. The
department expressed excitement about having her join the team.
Acting Board Clerk Candy Bermudez introduced Derek Brubaker, the new Engineering
Administrative Assistant, to the Board. The Board members welcomed Mr. Brubaker and
expressed their enthusiasm for having him join the team.
Leslie Biek, Assistant City Engineer, announced that an additional agenda item would be
added regarding an INDOT Local Public Agency (LPA) agreement for Phase 3 construction
of the Coal Line Trail. The agreement had only been received that morning, and Cailtin
Wyant, Project Engineer, apologized on behalf of both her and Leslie, explaining that
neither their records nor emails showed that the document had been received earlier.

the meeting at 10:44 a.m..
