Board members discussed the following item(s) from the agenda.
- Resolution No. 29-2015 — Mobile Food Vendors

working with all departments to make sure all Codes are passed related to the process and once

for monitoring parking locations of the trucks.
- Contract — SBC Global Services
Ms. Sue Gerlach, Information Technologies, stated this is a three (3) year renewable contract
with a no penalty out -clause for the TI lines at the three (3) golf courses. She explained there are
six (6) locations, two (2) at each course.
BOARD MEMBER EXCUSED
Board Member Brian Pawlowski left the meeting in progress at 10:58 a.m.
- Award Bid —Janitorial Supplies
Ms. Toni Laisure, Central Services, stated there were several errors in the bids regarding the
bidding quantities, and bids on the wrong line item line. Mr. Gilot requested she put that
information into a Memo for the Board's records. She noted there was very good MBE/WBE
response with three (3) minority businesses accounting for 30% of the award, an increase over
last years' 28%.
- Award Bid — Lightning Loader
Mr. Jeff Hudak, Central Services, stated this equipment purchase is within the budget. He noted
it is being awarded with Option No. 1, which includes CNG.
- Bid Award — Police Patrol Vehicles
AGENDA REVIEW SESSION JUNE 1& 2015 206
Mr. Jeff Hudak, Central Services, stated the Board advertised for thirty-nine (39), more or less,
vehicles, and awarded thirty-nine (39). He said the Fire Department has now asked to purchase
one (1) of the vehicles also. He noted these are with the CNG option. Mr. Hudak stated the
vehicles are not specifically Police vehicles and will fit the needs of the Fire Department also.
- Award Quotation — Mobile Column Lifts and In -Ground Hoists
Mr. Hudak stated this was the only bidder on the mobile column lifts, and they were responsive.
He explained the hoists are for replacement of some old style hoists that store oil underground,
and the new units will be much more environmentally secure.
- Request to Advertise — 4x4, Large Four (4) Door Utility Vehicle
Mr. Hudak stated this is also for a replacement of an old Fire Department unit and has a CNG
option.
- Request to Advertise — Mid -Size Four -Door Sedan
Mr. Hudak stated this should not be on the agenda, they are not purchasing this vehicle. He asked
that it be removed from the agenda.
Request to Advertise - 4x4, Standard Four (4) Door Utility Vehicle
Mr. Hudak stated these units are being requested by the Fire Department as a paramedic vehicle
to reduce the cost of using a fire truck to transport the paramedics. He noted CNG is an option.
- Change Order— East Gate Lift Station Replacement
Mr. Jacob Klosinski, Environmental Services, stated this decrease is due to a reduction in the
number of utility cuts. He stated they determined after review of the utilities along the route that
the use of directional drilling will save time and money, and have a lesser impact on the
residents.
- Opening of Quotations — Removal and Disposal of PCB Contaminated Soil at Ivy Tower
Mr. Corbitt Kerr, Engineering, stated they are requesting to open and award this quote at the
same meeting. He noted the amount of contamination was more than anticipated and over the
20% limit for the project. He stated the Engineer put a stop order on the work and they are going
out to quote this part of the project. Mr. Toy Villa, Engineering, added all work had to stop on
the floor replacement and they will have to finish the removal of the contaminated soil before the
floor can be finalized.
- Award Bid — Infrared Pavement Patching
Mr. Kerr stated there was only one (1) bidder on this project and they were responsive and under
budget. Mr. Gilot questioned if they wanted to award unit prices with a not to exceed, or should
this be a total. Mr. Kerr stated he thought it should be a total. Mr. Gilot requested he review the
specifications and follow what they state.
- Award Bids — Vacant and Abandoned Houses
Mr. Gilot asked if Green Demolition was a new vendor. Mr. Kerr stated they are out of Chicago.
Mr. Relos asked if they are licensed to do work in Indiana. Mr. Villa stated they are currently
working in Indiana on several projects. Mr. Kerr stated they would verify their Indiana licensing
by Tuesday.
- Change Order — Lincolnway West Corridor Improvements
Mr. Villa stated this increase is to add pedestrian push buttons to the traffic light poles. He noted
the new traffic standards require that the buttons must be yellow or chrome to be visible, and
some are replacements of old buttons that don't meet the new traffic law standards.
- Request to Advertise — East Bank Sewer Separation, Phase V
Mr. Kerr stated this project uses both TIF and sewer bond funds because it is a revitalization of
this area, and part of the consent decree requirements. He noted they are coordinating the work
with the projected work schedule on the old TRANSPO site. Mr. Gilot informed him that the site
had some potential environmental issues, and suggested that it might be wise to use borings in
the area.
- Request to Advertise — Utility Cuts
Mr. Kerr stated he is requesting to add a request to advertise for utility cuts to the agenda.
- Agreement — Ivy Tech
Mr. Kerr stated the existing MS4 agreement put more responsibility on the part of the City for
Ivy Tech than they felt should be. This agreement is transferring the responsibility back to Ivy
Tech. Mr. Gilot noted originally it was done as a trade for them to do educational training. He
suggested if this is a new agreement and there are any parts of the old agreement they want to
carry over, they should make sure it's in the new one. The Board suggested they should review
the terms of the old agreement and rescind it also.
- Resolution No. 30-2015
Ms. Therese Doran, Sustainability, stated this resolution brings forth a willingness on the part of
the City to have conversations with Notre Dame to discuss them developing a hydropower
facility. Mr. Gilot noted he would need to recuse himself from the vote as an employee of Notre
AGENDA REVIEW SESSION JUNE 18, 2015 207
Dame. Ms. Doran explained the City has an exemption permit from the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission that they have not been utilizing so the Commission wants to take it
away from the City. Mr. Kerr added they want to see more progress. He stated that one of these
licenses is extremely expensive and difficult to obtain these days and it would be difficult to get
one at this point.
No other business came before the Board. The meeting adjourned at 12:10 p.m.

REGULAR MEETING JUKE_ 23 2015
The Regular Meeting of the Board of Public Works was convened at 9:40 a.m. on June 23, 2015,
by Board President Gary A. Gilot with Board Members David Relos, Kathryn E. Roos, and
Elizabeth Maradik present. Board Member Brian Pawlowski was absent. Also present was Board
Attorney Michael Schmidt.
ADDITION TO THE AGENDA
Mr. Gilot noted the addition to the agenda of a Quote Award for the 2015 Tree Maintenance.
PUBLIC HEARING - SALE OF CITY PROPERTY - 51190 AND 51270 MAYFLOWER
ROAD
Mr. Gilot advised that this was the date set for the Board's Public Hearing concerning the City's
request to sell property it owns located at 51190 and 51270 Mayflower Rd. Mr. Gilot opened the
Public Hearing and asked if there was anyone present wishing to speak either for or against the
City's request. The question was asked if this Hearing was actually to sell the property. Mr.
Relos stated this is only to determine whether the City should proceed with the sale. He noted the
State's process is for the Board to hold a Hearing to allow comments prior to the advertising of
the sale. Mr. Gilot explained that the property was purchased originally to put a road through it
for future development, but due to those plans not moving forward, the City no longer has a use
for the property and is requesting to sell it. Attorney Michael Schmidt further explained that
based on today's Hearing, the Board will make a determination whether to recommend to the
Common Council and the Mayor that the property be sold. If the Council and the Mayor concur
with the decision, the City will either move forward with the sale, or abandon the process. A
question was received on whether the properties would be sold as a package or separately. Mr.
Brock Zeeb, Community Investment, stated they will be sold as a package. It was asked of the
Board if there would be a Notice advertised for the sale and how that process works. Attorney
Schmidt stated there is a time allotment requiring the Notice of Sale to be advertised twice. He
stated today the Board will take comments from the public and make a formal recommendation
to the Mayor's Office and the Common Council. There being no one else present wishing to
address the Board concerning this matter, the Public Hearing was closed.
