received and opened for the above referenced project. After reviewing those bids, Ms. Harrison
AGENDA REVIEW SESSION SEPTEMBER 17 2015 311
recommended that the Board award the contract to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder
Walsh & Kelly, Inc., 24358 State Road 23, South Bend, Indiana. in the amount of $292,000.00
plus the 20% Winter Work Premium. Therefore, Mr. Rclos made a motion that the
recommendation be accepted and the bid be awarded as outlined above. Ms. Maradik seconded
the motion, which carried.
Board members discussed the following item(s) from the agenda.
- Bid Awards — 3 '/z Ton Utility Truck with Crane, and Quad Axle Dump Truck
Mr. Matt Cblebowski, Central Services, stated he was requesting the Board award the utility —
truck to the low bidder, Selking International, and waive the delivery date requirements that were
part of the bid specifications. He explained that none of the three (3) bidders could not meet the
deadline. He noted these were the standard specs with the same terns that have been used before,
but they just didn't work out and they realize they need to change the language going forward.
Mr. Gilot stated that Indiana law allows the Board to reserve the right to waive the irregularity of
a bid, and in doing so they need to determine if they are allowing an advantage for one bidder. In
this case, he noted, none of the bidders could meet the requirement, so there is no advantage. Mr.
Cblebowski explained that it has gotten to the point where nobody keeps an inventory on hand
because it's too expensive. Mr. George King, Purchasing, suggested the Board give a date for
delivery in their approval of this award, in response to Mr. Gilot's concern that there needs to be
a deadline for delivery.
Mr. Chlebowski stated the other award for the dump truck is not to the low bidder, but the only
bidder thatbid the option of CNG. Mr. Chlebowski explained they put that as an option so they
can get pricing on CNG and determine if they have the money to purchase the option, much like
when you purchase a car and it comes with options. He noted on this one, there were concerns
about the wording "option", but in the past most vehicle bids are done with options because not
every department wants the same options, but will purchase the base vehicle with a variety of
different options. Mr. Gilot agreed and stated the term has been used for some time and the
.Mayor's office has made it clear that CNG is the desired choice for the future. He added he is
okay with waiving the irregularity; it's the Board's discretion but suggested Mr. Chlebowski and
his staff look for a change in the term option. Attorney Elliot Anderson stated he spoke to the
Board's attorney, Michael Schmidt, and he asked that Mr. Anderson advise the Board that
declining to bid on that option does not make the bidder non -responsive to the bid. Mr. Gilot
reaffirmed that the term "option" or "alternate" has been used in the past, but they should clarify
that term going forward. Mr. Chlebowski stated he has never had negative feedback from any of
the bidders, they understand what is being requested.
- Award Bids — Ilazmat Fire Rig and All -Wheel Drive SUV Police Patrol Vehicle
Mr. Jeff Hudak, Central Services, stated he solicited bids for the hazmat rig from four (4)
companies, but only received one (1) bid. He noted each of the bidders responded with their
reasons and one just didn't bid. He noted that company submitted a very high bid the last time
this was bid, and may have decided it was not worth it. The reasons given from the other bidders
were they don't like the specifications and want to build the vehicle from scratch, and they
specialize in pumpers and specialty equipment and don't supply these rigs. Mr. Gilot noted it's
always nice to have more bids, but this is such a specialized piece of equipment it makes it
difficult. IIe asked if the one bid received was considered high. Mr. Hudak stated it was not and
in fact is under their budget.
Mr. Hudak stated the SUV Police Patrol Vehicle is for the canine division. He noted they only
received one bid on this one also and explained the dealers are keeping a lot less inventory sitting
around. He explained they shut off orders on cars and pick-ups when the company gets a certain
number of orders, and won't order again until there is a demand.
- Quote Opening — Kennedy Basketball Court
Mr. John Martinez, Park Department, stated the Park Department received funds through a Park
bond and this is one of the first projects they will address. He noted the work was started last you with the help from the Rotary Club, and the Park Department will enhance the court with
benches and other amenities. He added this is a project the neighborhood is requesting. Mr. Gilot
asked if they would be using asphalt or concrete. Mr. Martinez stated they would use concrete, it
holds up better. Mr. Gilot asked about added lighting. Mr. Martinez stated there would not be
added. lighting. Ile explained the parks close at 11:00 p.m. and if there is lighting present, it can
encourage people to stay longer and create problems.
- Special Purchase —Midwest Meter
Mr. Brent Hussung, Environmental Services, stated this purchase is for meter software for
updating the Badger meters installed throughout the City. Mr. Gilot noted the City has a huge
investment in those meters so migrating to upgraded software makes sense.
AGENDA REVIEW SESSION SEPTEMBER 17, 2015 312

Mr. Jacob Klosinski, Environmental Services, stated they eliminated one of the seats for training,
resulting in this deduction.
- Professional Services Agreement—Areadis U.S., Inc.
Mc Jacob Klosinski, Environmental Services stated this agreement with Areadis is for
construction administration services. Mr. Gilot asked what percentage of the total project this
agreement would be. Mr. Klosinski stated it is about 6.5% of the construction cost. Mr. Gilot
stated he appreciates that Mr. Klosinski saves the city a lot of money by doing some of the
design work in-house.

Mr. Al Greek, Environmental Services, stated this is for help with this IDEM landfill financial

Mr. Rick Smigielski, Environmental Services, stated this agreement is for monitoring and

maintenance costs.

under -functioning. Mr. Eric Horvath, Public Works Director, stated this agreement includes an
enterprise health check and is an onsite analysis of the server system that will run a report for
vulnerabilities or issues with the GIS system.
- Equipment Purchases for Nello Corporation
Mr. Aaron Kobb, Community Investment, stated these purchases will include a pipe for turning
rollers and floor scrubbers/sweepers and will finish out the City's commitment to Nello for this
year.
- Request for Qualifications — Food Management/Catering Services for Morris Performing
Arts Center
Mr. Dennis Andres, Morris Performing Arts Center, stated this is a request to advertise for food
service for the Morris. Mr. Gilot asked if there was anything in the specifications to address food
waste, noting this might be a good opportunity to look into reduction in food waste options.
- Change Orders
Mr. Toy Villa, Engineering, requested that two Change Orders be removed; one for Western
Avenue Streetseapes and one for Demolition of Vacant and Abandoned Houses.
- Change Order — Ignition Park Infrastructure
Mr. Toy Villa, Engineering, stated this increase is for excess top soil that was discovered during
excavation that needed to be relocated. He noted it was decided to relocate the soil rather than
haul it off to a landfill because it is much less expensive. Mr. Villa added it would be close to
$1,000,000.00 to haul it off -site.
- Change Order — Western Avenue Corridor Improvements
Mr. Toy Villa, Engineering, stated this is for lighting and fixtures at the intersection to make it

been about a four (4) year ordeal. He stated they are looking at how to make downtown better by
helping to eliminate the digital divide and have been looking for financial assistance to do free —
wireless downtown. He noted they now have 5 to 1 in matching grants available to join with the
City and put up free wireless downtown. He added this is just a piece to get it done. Mr.
Bieganski stated the wireless is meant to not compete with businesses that offer inside free
wireless, this is a street level access. He noted it will not require a password to log in. Mr.
Bieganski stated the expected geography borders are Williams St. and Wayne St. on the
southwest, to Williams St. and LaSalle St. on the northwest, to Hill St. and LaSalle St. on the

will also focus on wellness. Ms. Cadotte stated this will not be a walk-in clinic, you will need an
appointment, but they will provide same -day appointments. She added they will provide free
prescriptions for maintenance prescriptions for employees and there will be savings on lab work.
She added there will not be enough savings to reduce the employee's cost of insurance, but it
will help keep costs from rising so rapidly. Finally, she stated that Activate will lease the
building, not the City.
- Professional Services Agreement —AccordWareLLC
Ms. Cadotte stated this service is to provide required IRS reporting for every employee and
retiree of the city pursuant to the patient protection and affordable care act.

the Board on Tuesday. She explained this is for rental and food service for the Women's

it still needed adjustment. He suggested to leave it on the agenda and if it doesn't get worked out,
the Board should table it.
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
