David Relos, Economic Resources~-
Engineering Services Agreement with the Board of Public Works
To carry out Commission projects, Indiana Code allows it to contract for the construction of
local public improvements, among other items. For years, the Commission has used the
Board of Public Works (BPW) to oversee its projects, to ensure the public bid process is
followed, projects are done to City standards, etc. This has been carried out via the Master
Agency Agreement, where the Commission appoints BPW as its agent to carry out its projects,
and BPW agrees to such appointment.
Because of the volume of Commission projects, it has become necessary for the Engineering
Department to hire a dedicated Engineer to oversee these projects. This Engineering
Service~
Agreement (Agreement) shares the cost of the new Engineer, with the Commission paying
80% of the Engineer's salary and benefits and the Engineering Department paying 20%.
The Agreement is effective May 26, 2015 and runs through December 31, 2016. A
subsequent agreement could be entered in to if mutually agreed upon by the parties.
Staff requests approval of the Agreement for Services with the Board of Public Works.
