Maradik, Vice President Joseph Molnar, and Board Members Murray Miller, Breana Micou, Abigail Magas and Board Attorney Michael Schmidt present. The Board of Public Works Acting Clerk, Candy Bermudez, presented the Board with a proposed agenda of items presented by the public and by City Staff. Board members discussed the following item(s) from the agenda. Jacob Klosinski, Engineering, shared with the Board item 6A: Youth Services Bureau/South Bend Thrive Subdivision and Off-Site Improvements – Project No. 123- 011. The requested change order increase of $9,061.88 was due to safety concerns regarding castings for the storm tech system. They decided to lower and bury castings in the Sorin Park area to ensure safety in the park. Storm inspection castings are affected by this change order, but manhole castings cannot be lowered and are unaffected. Jacob Klosinski, Engineering, shared with the Board item 6B: Wastewater Treatment Plant WAS Thickening Improvements – Project No. 123-031B. The requested change order increase of $75,147 was due to adjustments to the supervisory control and data acquisition system programming. Changes to the programming included input and output signals for various equipment and monitoring systems. Additional cost comes from replacement of old pipes that was deemed necessary during the project. Jacob Klosinski, Engineering, shared with the Board item 9A: St. Joseph County Sanitary Sewer Extension – Front Road over Rogers-Clark Ditch and Gordon Road over Niespodziany Ditch. He explained that St. Joseph County plans on extending a portion of sewer underneath Huckleberry Road to allow for future connections to International Motors and Bendix Woods. Both International Motors and Bendix Woods would be responsible for the payment of future sewer extensions and for obtaining approval from the St. Joseph County Regional Water & Sewer District. Both entities are in district for St. Joseph County, but plan to connect to the South Bend sewer system eventually. The entire project is paid for by St. Joseph County but does need signatures of approval from the Board of Public Works. Zach Hurst, Engineering, shared with the Board item 6C: Demolition of 921 Louise Street – Qualex Building – Project No. 125-043A. The requested change order increase of $95,800 was due to the discovery of an additional slab of concrete beneath the southern third of the building. After removing the initial base layer of construction, the demolition team discovered an additional layer of concrete which needed demolition and removal, leading to an increase in the project cost. Zach Hurst, Engineering, shared with the Board item 6E: Cleanup of South Bend Range, Phase I – Building Demolition – Project No. 125-020AR. Hurst explained to the Board that all of the buildings set for demolition lacked basements or crawlspaces, with the exception of one building which was discovered to have had a basement during demolition. The basement had been covered with debris and was initially unknown but was found to have high levels of asbestos-containing construction debris. The requested change order increase of $24,544 was due to costs of removing debris from the demolition site and unforeseen circumstances. Charlie Brach, Engineering, shared with the Board item 6D: Riverfront West Urban Neighborhood Development – Project No. 121-067. The requested change order increase of $426,669 was due to additional utility costs, tree removals, and choice light conduits with changed specifications. Becca Plantz, Engineering, shared with the Board item 5C: Edison WTP Improvements Guaranteed Savings Contract – Project No. 123-067. Plantz explained that she has been collaborating with Bowen Engineering Corporation to ensure that the maximum price of $8,000,000 from the State Revolving Fund is utilized. As this was a non-equivalency State Revolving Fund, the Engineering project was not required to submit goals for DBE but still REGULAR MEETING JUNE 23, 2026 141 chose to share the goals. Following this agenda review session, this project was relocated as 12C: Guaranteed Savings Contract – Bowen Engineering Corporation. Leslie Biek, Engineering, shared with the Board item 11A: Resolution No. 22-2026. The resolution is for the purchase of real estate for the Bendix Phase 2 Improvement project.
