HomeMy WebLinkAbout11/26/13 Board of Public Works MeetingAGENDA REVIEW SESSION NOVEMBER 21, 2013 345
The Agenda Review Session of the Board of Public Works was convened at 10:40 a.m. on
Thursday, November 21, 2013, by Board President Mr. Gary A. Gilot, with Board Members
David P. Relos, Kathryn E. Roos, 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.
ADDITION TO THE AGENDA
Mr. Gilot noted the addition to the agenda of a Purchase Agreement with Five Corners, LLC. He
stated the award of the quotation for the Demolition of Ignition Park South, Phase 4, was being
moved to this morning's Agenda Review Session also.
AWARD QUOTATION — DEMOLITION OF IGNITION PARK SOUTH PHASE 4
PROJECT NO. 113-044 (AEDA TIF)
Mr. John Engstrom, Engineering, advised the Board that on November 12, 2013, quotations were
received and opened for the above referenced project. After reviewing those quotations, Mr.
Engstrom recommended that the Board award the contract to the lowest responsive and
responsible bidder, B&J Construction, Inc., 1104 West Donald Street, South Bend, Indiana,
46613 in the amount of $35,300.00. Mr. Eric Horvath, Public Works Director, stated he is okay
with going ahead with the award today with the $5,000.00 environmental allowance, but in the
future, why not issue a change order if there are environmental issues that arise. Mr. Relos stated
his concern is that the bid is so low he wants to make sure the contractor is aware that the extra
allowance is only for unforeseen environmental issues. Mr. Horvath noted that the other issue is
the bid tabulations were incorrect; they didn't indicate unit prices on two of the bidder's bid
sheets, and just carried over the totals. He noted four (4) items need to be corrected with unit
prices written in and initialed by all. He added the contractor needs to verify they understand the
environmental price is for unforeseen environmental conditions only. Therefore, Mr. Gilot made
a motion that the recommendation be accepted and the quotation be awarded subject to
verification of unit prices and the understanding that the environmental allowance is for
unforeseen environmental conditions. Ms. Roos seconded the motion, which carried.
Board members discussed the following item(s) from the Agenda
- Professional Services Proposal — Abonmarche
Mr. Jitin Kain, Community Investment, stated funding was approved for this project for
Jefferson Boulevard improvements in next year's budget, but the design needs to get started.
Attorney Cheryl Greene noted that as of January, 2014, the City is going to standardize their
Professional Services Agreements and all businesses will be required to use the City's forms.
She explained they will be posted on the website, and the contractors will be required to fill in
the details and forward to the City. Mr. Horvath added that exhibits of scope, fees, and terms will
be attached and will still need to be reviewed by the Legal department
- Donation Agreement — Wells Fargo Home Mortgage
Ms. Pam Meyer, Community Investment, stated Wells Fargo Mortgage Company has offered a
building structure at 1902 Prairie Street, along with money to the City. She explained the
property will be put in the mix with other structures in this area to offer for future use. Ms.
Meyer noted the funding should be corrected to the donation fund and the appropriate account
number.
- Award Bid — All -Wheel Drive Police Patrol Vehicles
Mr. Jeff Hudak, Central Services, stated there was only one bidder for this bid. He noted that the
only manufacturer for these all -wheel drive vehicles is Ford, and with the options the City
requested, local Ford dealers felt it would be too costly so they would not be able to submit a
winning bid. Ms. Roos noted that one thing that should be written in the specs to help local
vendors is the delivery cost. She stated if there was only a small difference in the bids, it's not
worth driving a long distance to pick up the vehicles. Mr. Hudak stated he includes delivery to
Central Services in all of his vehicle bids. He added that using the Local Preference form in the
bids also helps local companies when the bids are close in dollar amounts.
- Resolution No. 65-2013 — Related to Appropriation of Property in the City of South Bend
Attorney Larry Meteiver stated this Resolution is to begin condemnation proceedings on one
property on Fellows Street for five feet (5') of permanent right-of-way taking and ten feet (10')
of temporary right-of-way taking. Mr. Meteiver stated an offer was made and the City was
subsequently contacted by a law firm outside of the City stating the property owners rejected the
offer and refused to give a counter offer to the City for the property.
- Professional Services Agreement — Geographic Technologies Group, Inc.
AGENDA REVIEW SESSION
NOVEMBER 21, 2013 346
Mr. Shawn Hipsher, Information Technologies, stated this agreement is for an assessment of GIS
infrastructure and recommendations for improvement. He noted this is Phase I; Phase 2 will be a
plan; and Phase 3 will be help with implementation of the plan.
Change Order — Pinhook Water Treatment Plant Efficiency Improvements
Mr. John Wiltrout, Water Works, stated this Change Order is for four (4) items, one of which the
contractor is asking for an additional twenty-one (21) days. Mr. Horvath stated a couple days is
okay, not twenty-one (21). Mr. Toy Villa, Engineering, reviewed the Change Order and stated
looking at it, there is no reason for twenty-one (21) days, they should be able to do the work in
four (4). Mr. Horvath suggested doing the change order for the dollar amounts and doing the
time extension later.
- Change Order — Main Street/Lafayette Boulevard Connector
Mr. Toy Villa, Engineering, stated this increase is for eighteen (18) days the contractor lost on
the project due to rainy weather conditions. Mr. Villa noted they are anticipating having it done
by end of November if the weather cooperates, and won't even use the extra days. However, if
the weather changes, they will have eighteen (18) extra days.
- Project Completion Affidavit— Crescent Oaks Subdivision
Mr. Toy Villa explained that the developer of this subdivision has completed all of the streets in
this subdivision and they are now submitting the Maintenance Bond to the City.
- Special Purchase — Econolite Traffic Signal Cabinets
Mr. Paul South, Street Department, stated these cabinets are the only ones compatible with the
City of South Bend's traffic signal equipment. He noted they are the only ones used throughout
the City. Attorney Cheryl Greene stated if this is sole source compatibility, all that needs to be
done is a Special Purchase. Mr. Horvath stated if this is a proprietary specification, they should
request quotes, giving local preference. Ms. Greene stated if there is only one vendor, there is no
need to request quotes, it just needs to be clarified that this is a Special Purchase due to sole
compatibility.
- Special Purchase — Beet Heat
Mr. Paul South, Street Department, stated the Street Department is in need of this liquid de-icer
immediately due to projected weather. Ms. Greene suggested if this is an emergency purchase,
he proceed with the purchase, and if the product is a sole source, it can be done as a Special
Purchase.
- Addendum to Master Agency Agreement — Redevelopment Commission
Mr. Paul South, Street Department, informed the Board that this request to install new LED
lights in Nimtz Parkway and various streets in Blackthorn is due to the current replacement bulbs
and heads no longer being available because they don't make them anymore. He noted that due
to the location of the streets, he was able to request Airport TIF funds for the project.
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 11:45 a.m.

PRIVILEGE OF THE FLOOR
Mr. Jim Bodnar requested the Board give him an update on the status of lighting issues on which
he previously addressed the Board. He noted the Board previously stated the City doesn't have
LED lights, but the Board just awarded LED lighting for the Blackthorn area today. He asked if
the Board is doing anything to address his concerns. Mr. Eric Horvath, Director of Public Works,
stated Mr. Paul South, Director of Streets, is working on the issues on his street, and noted that it
is the City's desire to move forward with LED lighting. Mr. South stated the Street Department
is retiring a light pole at Eddy Street and Madison Street and will move it to Mr. Bodnar's street.
He noted they can't order a pole; the new ones are too large to fit the foundation. Mr. Bodnar
suggested if the City and AEP could work together on street lights it would be beneficial. He
suggested placing the pole number and ownership of the pole on the City's Open Data Portal
site. Mr. Horvath stated you can currently go to the City's website and click on a dot
representing a light pole and see who owns the pole, and the pole number. He added the City is
working on a Light -Up South Bend program that should help. Mr. Horvath concurred that the
accuracy on the City website needs attention.
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 10:17 a.m.
