The lowest responsible and responsive bidder is DC Construction 00:11:24.972 --> 00:11:29.054 - Services Incorporated at $238,278.50. 00:11:29.250 --> 00:11:37.723 - engineering recommends awarding the contract to DC construction services and I did want to clarify because 00:11:37.723 --> 00:11:45.641 - we did have a question yesterday. This is council sidewalk funds not CCMG not CDBG council sidewalk 00:11:45.641 --> 00:11:46.750 - funds. Mm-hmm 00:11:48.066 --> 00:11:54.346 - an extra note here too. We had a coordination meeting with our colleagues over at Indiana University 00:11:54.346 --> 00:12:00.563 - facilities and capital projects this afternoon. This project and the Union Street crosswalk project 00:12:00.563 --> 00:12:06.781 - was discussed in terms of the coordination that will be involved. The crosswalk project will have a 00:12:06.781 --> 00:12:10.014 - closure of union for about a two week period during 00:12:10.402 --> 00:12:17.608 - The summer break. So we'll make sure we're coordinating that with any lane closures or potential closures 00:12:17.608 --> 00:12:24.882 - that would be affiliated with the North Jefferson Street sidewalk project. But both projects are requiring 00:12:24.882 --> 00:12:31.884 - close coordination with IU. They have a lot of adjacent property to it or doing rights of entry things 00:12:31.884 --> 00:12:39.294 - like that with their team as we would normally do. So that's taking place as well. Questions from the board. 00:12:43.810 --> 00:12:50.289 - We have a couple contracts with D.C. construction services. Has the city been contracting with D.C. 00:12:50.289 --> 00:12:56.962 - construction services in the past. These are our first contracts with D.C. We've done some some of our 00:12:56.962 --> 00:13:03.506 - own research checked with a couple of references. IU has actually used them in Indianapolis at their 00:13:03.506 --> 00:13:09.726 - IU Indy campus. What what we've learned from their website and some research we've done is that 00:13:10.370 --> 00:13:17.186 - Started off as a small seal coating company by a 16 year old who now 20 some years later has a pretty 00:13:17.186 --> 00:13:24.069 - large nationwide DC contracting firm. They have, they list a lot of contracts with major retailers for 00:13:24.069 --> 00:13:30.751 - parking lot maintenance and striking. So Lowe's, Walmart, I can't remember all of them that were on 00:13:30.751 --> 00:13:38.302 - there, but they've been also entering into the municipal and government university type markets as well. And so, 00:13:38.498 --> 00:13:47.927 - Looks like they've got a pretty strong track record and they're based out of Indianapolis or somewhere 00:13:47.927 --> 00:13:57.264 - in the area. Which one I read Pendleton. Which one. Pendleton. All right. Any other questions on this 00:13:57.264 --> 00:14:04.862 - item. Any public comments on this item. All right. Seeing none.

But as you mentioned, 00:19:01.912 --> 00:19:06.750 - we also do work with IUPUI, Purdue, Ball State, Indiana State, 00:19:07.426 --> 00:19:12.619 - But we also over the last about seven to eight years have have also worked in the municipal specter. 00:19:12.619 --> 00:19:15.806 - So we're well versed with kind of a little bit of everything. 00:19:16.546 --> 00:19:22.735 - So we look forward to the opportunity and Adam, to your point, obviously, now that these are in the 00:19:22.735 --> 00:19:28.986 - process of being awarded, we look forward to getting with the engineering department because we want 00:19:28.986 --> 00:19:35.485 - to work within your schedule as far as we understand that there's a lot of things going on. Also knowing 00:19:35.485 --> 00:19:41.922 - that a lot of companies don't work year round, we do. So if there's any opportunity to get some of this 00:19:41.922 --> 00:19:42.974 - work done, to be 00:19:43.106 --> 00:19:49.340 - perfectly honest over the started at the beginning of the new year, prior to any kind of, you know, 00:19:49.340 --> 00:19:55.699 - spring startups, because I know a lot of people, you know, hey, it's spring, where, where are you? We 00:19:55.699 --> 00:20:01.995 - do have the capability of doing that. But again, we'll work with the engineering department directly 00:20:01.995 --> 00:20:08.354 - and obviously abide by everything as far as closures, understanding that we got to respect that I use 00:20:08.354 --> 00:20:10.910 - going to be impacted by this as well. So 00:20:11.010 --> 00:20:17.151 - We'll do everything and anything we can. This is obviously our first opportunity to work with you folks. 00:20:17.151 --> 00:20:23.233 - So we're really looking forward to it and we'll do everything we can to make it as seamless as possible 00:20:23.233 --> 00:20:29.374 - for both Bloomington, IU and everyone that's concerned. But we're really excited to work with you folks. 00:20:29.506 --> 00:20:35.386 - Thank you. I just know you know with the Kirkwood bollard one Kirkwood right in the heart of campus 00:20:35.386 --> 00:20:41.265 - right there You know downtown that that'll get the attention. We've got some sidewalk projects that 00:20:41.265 --> 00:20:47.262 - we're completing down there as well So we'll be definitely coordinating with you and thanks for being 00:20:47.262 --> 00:20:53.318 - on here tonight introducing the company excited to work with you as well Absolutely. Thank you so much 00:20:53.318 --> 00:20:59.198 - Thank you on the bollard project so this will basically allow us when we are utilizing Kirkwood for 00:20:59.298 --> 00:21:05.957 - festivals, events, that we can close off the alleyways that intersect with Kirkwood to prevent any kind 00:21:05.957 --> 00:21:12.872 - of potential cross traffic. Yeah, so what we, as we had some really busy festivals downtown and on Kirkwood 00:21:12.872 --> 00:21:19.724 - this summer, we recognized we had a couple alleys that we were having to just use water-filled barricades. 00:21:19.724 --> 00:21:26.319 - And so we identified these locations as the highest priority for additional bollard installation after 00:21:26.319 --> 00:21:29.264 - we coordinated with BPD and our public safety 00:21:29.264 --> 00:21:35.401 - partners. One of them that we, I don't even, I was one of the main, I was definitely involved with the 00:21:35.401 --> 00:21:41.598 - Kirkwood-Bollard installation project when it occurred however many years ago now and we were out there 00:21:41.598 --> 00:21:47.557 - setting up for Tace, it was either 4th Street or Tace and we realized that on the south side of the 00:21:47.557 --> 00:21:53.634 - Dunn Street intersection with Kirkwood we didn't have a row of bollards because it's a one-way street 00:21:53.634 --> 00:21:55.422 - heading the one direction but 00:21:55.682 --> 00:22:03.488 - In any public safety circumstances right now, you would also guard against somebody coming against what 00:22:03.488 --> 00:22:11.069 - would normally be a one way with no traffic on it. So that was why we added the Dunn Street as well. 00:22:11.069 --> 00:22:18.801 - So it was actually Dunn Street itself, not just the alley point. We're doing a row across Dunn between 00:22:18.801 --> 00:22:25.406 - Jimmy John's and KOK, Kilroy's on Kirkwood. Man, I sound like the kids these days, KOK. 00:22:27.266 --> 00:22:33.821 - So what I'm looking for. Would this be all the intersections on Kirkwood from the square to Indiana 00:22:33.821 --> 00:22:40.442 - now? Yeah, sorry. So right now from Walnut all the way to Indiana at all of the intersections, there 00:22:40.442 --> 00:22:46.997 - are bollards. The alley between tracks and Village Deli has bollards. We've got a few of the alleys 00:22:46.997 --> 00:22:53.748 - where we already installed them because they were higher traffic areas where more delivery drivers try 00:22:53.748 --> 00:22:55.518 - to get through, et cetera. 00:22:55.778 --> 00:23:03.641 - This was we're now filling in all the extra gaps that okay there that was a question. Yeah, this is 00:23:03.641 --> 00:23:11.584 - this fills in the rest of the gaps. Yep Any other questions on this item Any public comments on this 00:23:11.584 --> 00:23:19.604 - item None on zoom All right seeing none is there a motion I move that we approve the contract with DC 00:23:19.604 --> 00:23:25.502 - Construction Services Inc for Kirkwood bollard footing installation second 00:23:26.242 --> 00:23:35.841 - I will call the roll Caron. I roach I Cox Deckard. I motion passes Thank you Next we have Street and 00:23:35.841 --> 00:23:45.915 - sidewalk closure at intersection of 17th Street and North Walnut Street for City of Bloomington utilities 00:23:45.915 --> 00:23:51.902 - Good evening Kyle ball from engineering on behalf of Zach Bell 00:23:52.162 --> 00:23:58.609 - So City of Bloomington utilities is requesting a closure of the 17th Street in North Walnut 00:23:58.609 --> 00:24:05.687 - Street intersection for a storm repair project This would this is anticipated to be just a night one 00:24:05.687 --> 00:24:13.325 - night single night closure Anticipated for the 21st or 22nd of December for this year So of course overnight 00:24:13.325 --> 00:24:19.422 - noise permit, I believe was attached in the packet as well So we don't expect anything 00:24:19.618 --> 00:24:28.521 - Much more than that as far as the scope is concerned But happy to take any questions Thank you questions 00:24:28.521 --> 00:24:37.254 - from the board Any public comments on this item None on zoom Seeing none is there a motion I move that 00:24:37.254 --> 00:24:45.818 - we approve Street and sidewalk closure at the intersection of 17th Street in North Walnut Street for 00:24:45.818 --> 00:24:48.446 - city Bloomington utilities and 00:24:49.154 --> 00:24:58.480 - Second. All right. I will call the roll. Caron. Roach. Hi. Cox Deckard. I motion passes. Next we have 00:24:58.480 --> 00:25:07.806 - closures request a noise permit on South College Avenue for Weddle Brothers at the Convention Center. 00:25:08.002 --> 00:25:13.487 - All right. I'm going to kick this one off and then turn it over to Kyle. And then we've got Andrew the 00:25:13.487 --> 00:25:18.813 - project manager with Whittle here. As you recall earlier this year Whittle Brothers came to us with 00:25:18.813 --> 00:25:24.405 - a phased approach to what they expected to be some of the lane and road closure requests that they would 00:25:24.405 --> 00:25:29.784 - be coming forward with. This is one of the big ones they're coming forward with. This is a basically 00:25:29.784 --> 00:25:33.086 - a two week closure of third of college south of Third Street. 00:25:33.730 --> 00:25:41.683 - To facilitate the installation of their skybridge And then so that would be from the January 26 through 00:25:41.683 --> 00:25:48.030 - February 12 dates for a two-week period with traffic being detoured over to Rogers 00:25:48.418 --> 00:25:56.735 - Then from there from the February 12 through a end of July time frame or end of June time frame. There 00:25:56.735 --> 00:26:05.295 - will be a request. This is a request to have college in a one lane southbound configuration from February 00:26:05.295 --> 00:26:06.910 - 13 through June 26. 00:26:07.362 --> 00:26:13.548 - Kyle can talk about the detours that we have in place, the signage, the advanced notification, all the 00:26:13.548 --> 00:26:19.134 - different things that we've been working really closely with Andrew and his team at Weddell. 00:26:19.298 --> 00:26:25.446 - Substantial communications plan right now with the mayor's office Weddle the CIB the Convention Center 00:26:25.446 --> 00:26:31.416 - project are working on their communications that we can then help spread out to the whole community 00:26:31.416 --> 00:26:37.684 - But this is a big big coordination understand. It's gonna have major impacts to the area in the corridor 00:26:37.684 --> 00:26:43.653 - But have you know appreciated the good partnership that what all has come to with this and knowing, 00:26:43.653 --> 00:26:49.264 - you know Providing a lot of information up front and their previous reports to the board, etc 00:26:49.264 --> 00:26:56.488 - But yeah, so that's just kind of a quick overview I have I'm sure Kyle wants to add some more detail 00:26:56.488 --> 00:27:03.855 - and again, they're here for questions as well Other public notifications that we're working on So sign 00:27:03.855 --> 00:27:11.151 - boards are planned to be out no later than November or November. Sorry January 5th of 2026 to let the 00:27:11.151 --> 00:27:17.374 - traveling public know when and where to expect those closures so as Adam mentioned the 00:27:17.538 --> 00:27:27.693 - The vehicular detour would be from 3rd Street to Rogers and then back over on 2nd. The planned pedestrian 00:27:27.693 --> 00:27:34.782 - detour is going to travel down Walnut and then back over via 2nd as well. 00:27:37.282 --> 00:27:43.984 - Yeah, as Adam also mentioned we have included the communication that's being sent out at this time to 00:27:43.984 --> 00:27:50.621 - the affected property owners So we're looking at those folks in between college walnut between third 00:27:50.621 --> 00:27:57.323 - and second from north to south, of course So that's all in process at the moment. We're still working 00:27:57.323 --> 00:28:02.974 - on some of the particulars of the actual temporary traffic control plan we're working 00:28:03.138 --> 00:28:13.259 - Get that shared with emergency services So we really feel like we're you know crossing as many boxes 00:28:13.259 --> 00:28:23.681 - off as we can For something this large, but we still have some some time to get it all wrapped up Thank 00:28:23.681 --> 00:28:31.998 - you questions from the board Couple couple questions for me. I seem to recall that 00:28:32.386 --> 00:28:40.220 - Yesterday's work session the packet included the actual maintenance of traffic plan and I don't see 00:28:40.220 --> 00:28:48.133 - it in today's final packet It just had the two maps what we included were the two maps showing Where 00:28:48.133 --> 00:28:52.990 - the closure the phasing of the closures? I don't know that we 00:28:53.154 --> 00:29:00.398 - We've kind of gone back and forth with you all on do we give you the full maintenance of traffic plan 00:29:00.398 --> 00:29:07.927 - with all of the tiny little legend items showing you where every single sign is based on MUT CD standards 00:29:07.927 --> 00:29:15.242 - for temporary traffic control plans Getting this down finally. There's probably a happy median between 00:29:15.242 --> 00:29:16.094 - nothing and 00:29:16.194 --> 00:29:22.952 - Full engineered plans. Yeah, so Did we that median was added today? I don't know if we added it too 00:29:22.952 --> 00:29:29.980 - late to get it included in the it should be you should have it On paper. I'm so sorry. Yeah, and that's 00:29:29.980 --> 00:29:37.279 - my Map I think yeah, so that so this will show the plan detours for these for each closure And my apologies 00:29:37.279 --> 00:29:44.037 - wasn't on there originally. No quite. All right permits meeting this morning I was like, I think we 00:29:44.037 --> 00:29:45.118 - want to put the 00:29:45.538 --> 00:29:52.672 - Reader's Digest version of this detour in there without everything. So that's why you got the printed 00:29:52.672 --> 00:29:59.666 - copy for this today If you could just restate some things that we talked about yesterday During the 00:29:59.666 --> 00:30:06.660 - work session. We talked about how the traffic the southbound traffic on college will be diverted to 00:30:06.660 --> 00:30:13.653 - Rogers and we had talked about how the Construction at Rogers through the Hopewell project would be 00:30:13.653 --> 00:30:15.262 - substantially complete 00:30:15.554 --> 00:30:22.404 - But by the start of this if you could just Claire Yeah, so all of the work on Roger south of say the 00:30:22.404 --> 00:30:29.255 - detour is going to go back on second But we know some folks will continue south but the the pavement 00:30:29.255 --> 00:30:36.105 - work from second to first The bike lanes that work is substantially complete the final pavement went 00:30:36.105 --> 00:30:43.227 - down So that is open to traffic and will remain open to traffic throughout any Hopewell related projects 00:30:43.227 --> 00:30:44.990 - will not be affecting the 00:30:45.282 --> 00:30:51.451 - Southbound Rogers during any of this fate during the closure phasing there may be things that come up 00:30:51.451 --> 00:30:57.741 - while it's back to the one lane configuration But overall, we're pretty confident. We recognize between 00:30:57.741 --> 00:31:03.850 - third and second is a difficult stretch of Rogers that's gonna have some impacts but we're hoping to 00:31:03.850 --> 00:31:09.898 - limit that just to this two weeks and They've been but it's been really good sharing their detailed 00:31:09.898 --> 00:31:13.406 - plans on how they're gonna get this done in two weeks and 00:31:13.506 --> 00:31:19.902 - Similar question just for the record during our meeting here the reconstruction project on 2nd street 00:31:19.902 --> 00:31:26.360 - at second and college Will not have started by the time this is finished or the phase two is finished. 00:31:26.360 --> 00:31:32.755 - Yeah, so I spoke to Zach Rogers who's working on that currently So currently they are working for the 00:31:32.755 --> 00:31:39.151 - working on the utility relocations for that project but the majority the bulk of those closures won't 00:31:39.151 --> 00:31:39.966 - happen until 00:31:40.098 --> 00:31:46.344 - Mid to late next year from my understanding so anything West I'm sorry heading east from Rogers There's 00:31:46.344 --> 00:31:52.469 - nothing on our radar at this point in time for that two-week period that we're looking at here. Thank 00:31:52.469 --> 00:31:53.310 - you very much 00:31:54.050 --> 00:32:02.061 - I know you had mentioned the coordination and communication with the other properties that are affected 00:32:02.061 --> 00:32:10.304 - in the closure area and we specifically talked about I believe the Midtown loss. It's the larger apartment 00:32:10.304 --> 00:32:18.007 - complex right off of Smith and South College. Yeah, and so it sounded like one Smith was gonna be a 00:32:18.007 --> 00:32:24.016 - potential entry point for that property. I'm curious about my sister's clock. 00:32:24.016 --> 00:32:30.620 - Which sits in the same zone? What's the access point for them? during this closure and detour So that's 00:32:30.620 --> 00:32:37.034 - a part of the detail that we requested from Weddell Brothers I don't know if Andrew you've spoken to 00:32:37.034 --> 00:32:43.956 - any of them on that level of detail just yet But we will be having a requirement for all of those properties 00:32:43.956 --> 00:32:50.878 - to have a access plan for this period of time and it may involve having to come north on walnut to Smith and 00:32:52.354 --> 00:33:00.182 - to kind of circle. Smith will be open and, Smith will be open and Walnut will be open south of Smith. 00:33:00.182 --> 00:33:07.934 - Like it isn't going to have construction activity there so it may require my sister's closet patrons 00:33:07.934 --> 00:33:15.839 - to come either up Walnut north, west on Smith and then back south on College because Smith and College 00:33:15.839 --> 00:33:17.758 - will be open to traffic. 00:33:18.146 --> 00:33:25.606 - So okay, so if you are traveling on Smith to college, you can then turn south on college and travel 00:33:25.606 --> 00:33:33.066 - unrestricted. So that will be the the access point. Okay. And some savvy people may be able to make 00:33:33.066 --> 00:33:40.750 - it through the convention center parking lots and south to south college and make it, you know, that's 00:33:40.750 --> 00:33:46.270 - that will not be the official detour. It will be unmarked. Yes, unmarked. 00:33:46.754 --> 00:33:53.082 - County only detour As you know as we know with any of our road closures or detours for any extended 00:33:53.082 --> 00:33:59.473 - period of time Folks will find their little nooks crannies and ways to get to the areas They want to 00:33:59.473 --> 00:34:05.991 - get to that may not be part of the official detour But yeah Will be there will be a lot of signage out 00:34:05.991 --> 00:34:06.814 - for this one 00:34:07.618 --> 00:34:15.206 - And with that, I would just add, as someone who also finds my own sneaky ways through places, for those 00:34:15.206 --> 00:34:22.502 - who are traveling on the unofficial detour, to just respect that space. If you're traveling through 00:34:22.502 --> 00:34:29.799 - a parking lot, acknowledge it as a parking lot and not as a road. Yes. And do your best during this 00:34:29.799 --> 00:34:37.022 - time. We did talk about the fact that this is a historic closure. This is not something that we've 00:34:37.154 --> 00:34:47.006 - don't believe the board has officially done in the past. So it's definitely a unique type of closure. And so. 00:34:47.170 --> 00:34:52.969 - We'll work collaboratively to make it as painless as humanly possible. I don't think this has changed, 00:34:52.969 --> 00:34:58.599 - but there's still, I believe, another two-week closure of college that'll have to occur towards the 00:34:58.599 --> 00:35:04.229 - end of the project as well. So this will be a trial run, and this isn't the last time we'll have to 00:35:04.229 --> 00:35:09.915 - close college for a couple-week period to finish this project. But that was all part of the original 00:35:09.915 --> 00:35:13.406 - presentations of Weddell and the plans for the whole project. 00:35:14.210 --> 00:35:21.134 - Yeah, when Kyle answered my question of, can you think of the last time we actually had a full closure 00:35:21.134 --> 00:35:28.059 - of college and he said never, that was not the expected answer. I was like, there's gotta be some, and 00:35:28.059 --> 00:35:34.849 - we've been racking our brains that this is, yeah, it's a big one and also for a generational project 00:35:34.849 --> 00:35:41.773 - too. The Convention Center's gonna be a big project for many decades to come, so trying to balance all 00:35:41.773 --> 00:35:43.454 - of the aspects of it and 00:35:44.642 --> 00:35:48.222 - glad we have a good local partner we're working with to make sure this is going smoothly. 00:35:48.994 --> 00:35:54.899 - I have a question just with the noise permit included in the packet. How much overnight work should 00:35:54.899 --> 00:36:00.804 - we expect during this two weeks? Thank you for the reminder on that. So that was a suggestion on my 00:36:00.804 --> 00:36:06.768 - part. In the event that we get pressed with time, we being Weddle Brothers gets pressed with time to 00:36:06.768 --> 00:36:12.909 - complete this work in this timeframe, Andrew promised me that there were gonna be no extension requests 00:36:12.909 --> 00:36:18.814 - for this closure. So that would be a last ditch effort to get that completed within this timeframe. 00:36:20.354 --> 00:36:31.502 - Of course.

I. 00:40:13.794 --> 00:40:21.996 - Motion passes. Thanks. Next we have contract with Riverside Paving and Contracting Inc for parking lots 00:40:21.996 --> 00:40:25.150 - one three and five resurfacing project. 00:40:25.474 --> 00:40:31.946 - Adam Wason on behalf of Michelle wall parking services director. So this is Repaving our several of 00:40:31.946 --> 00:40:38.418 - our downtown surface parking lots lot one is at 4th and Dunn Street Behind Dunkirk square lot three 00:40:38.418 --> 00:40:45.020 - is at 4th and Washington That's going to be behind the bus Kirk Chumley and such and then lot five is 00:40:45.020 --> 00:40:52.010 - at 6th and Lincoln Kind of across the street from the Monroe County Public Library So this is a traditional 00:40:52.010 --> 00:40:55.440 - maintenance project of milling repaving new striping 00:40:55.440 --> 00:41:02.992 - ADA compliance and such Riverside paving and contractor LLC was the low bidder and the when we opened 00:41:02.992 --> 00:41:10.691 - bids yesterday and that is in the amount of one hundred and thirty four thousand one hundred and thirty 00:41:10.691 --> 00:41:18.169 - nine dollars and We'll work on coordination of that For the construction timeframes, you know, we've 00:41:18.169 --> 00:41:21.278 - got a lot of things going on downtown and 00:41:23.234 --> 00:41:30.488 - Thank you. Questions from the board on this item? Just a question about the staff report. After the 00:41:30.488 --> 00:41:37.814 - bulleted list, it says contractors shall give a four week notice and then the date May 4th, 2026. Is 00:41:37.814 --> 00:41:45.504 - that a four week notice by May 4th, 2026 or approximately May 4th? That's going to be a four. Yes, before 00:41:45.504 --> 00:41:52.830 - so that we can coordinate. That's the protection not to start before IU students let out. Thank you. 00:41:54.306 --> 00:42:00.576 - So will these be staggered, like they'll work on one lot and then another lot? The guess is that they'll 00:42:00.576 --> 00:42:06.726 - move lot to lot. They'll probably, they'll begin with the milling and concrete, they'll probably begin 00:42:06.726 --> 00:42:12.697 - with concrete work, do the milling and so start at one of the lots with milling and then follow, go 00:42:12.697 --> 00:42:18.848 - lot to lot to lot with the milling and then follow back up with the paving. So there may be some small 00:42:18.848 --> 00:42:23.326 - periods of time where the lots are only to a milled surface during it, but 00:42:24.098 --> 00:42:30.238 - Efficiency and everything else they're gonna want to do all the milling Phase and then all the paving 00:42:30.238 --> 00:42:36.317 - falling up behind it So so are people gonna be able to park on the milled surface or be working very 00:42:36.317 --> 00:42:42.397 - closely with our permitted parker So the library lot in particular has permitted parkers. The others 00:42:42.397 --> 00:42:48.416 - are just hourly so we will be coordinating that as we move along but there will definitely be times 00:42:48.416 --> 00:42:51.486 - where it's completely restricted to no parking and 00:42:53.058 --> 00:42:59.580 - No, I wouldn't like it could if they were doing if they were actually doing the surface resurfacing 00:42:59.580 --> 00:43:06.297 - Yes, but I mean we would be looking at a few days I don't think we're looking at weeks of it being not 00:43:06.297 --> 00:43:12.884 - available I think we're looking at more of staggering days where they may not be available and again 00:43:12.884 --> 00:43:19.537 - we're gonna be working closely with the downtown schedule for this summer with festivals with all the 00:43:19.537 --> 00:43:20.254 - things and 00:43:20.834 --> 00:43:26.651 - Kirkwood maintenance project bollard installation project I could keep going with other downtown we've 00:43:26.651 --> 00:43:32.299 - got a bunch of downtown paving that's still set to occur further west but downtown so there's a lot 00:43:32.299 --> 00:43:38.117 - of parts as in any given construction season that we're always trying to coordinate and make sure that 00:43:38.117 --> 00:43:43.990 - the impacts are to eliminate we're limiting the impacts the best we can and so for those permit holders 00:43:43.990 --> 00:43:44.894 - and that unique 00:43:44.994 --> 00:43:50.948 - Lot that does have permits those permits I assume would be honored at a different location during that 00:43:50.948 --> 00:43:56.902 - time We've done such things. Yes, we've coordinated with the library for different special events that 00:43:56.902 --> 00:44:02.855 - restrict some of their access So we're pretty accustomed to coordinating with the library if they have 00:44:02.855 --> 00:44:05.630 - If they have impacts to their permitted parking 00:44:06.018 --> 00:44:14.809 - And then if there are and I can't recall in these lots what the configuration is but if there are any 00:44:14.809 --> 00:44:20.670 - handicapped spaces are is there an anticipation that we would maybe 00:44:21.186 --> 00:44:27.086 - create a temporary handicapped space in an adjacent areas for somebody who needs to park there. Yeah, 00:44:27.086 --> 00:44:33.045 - and we just added more downtown ADA spaces, so that's a plus. But yeah, I mean, if we know we're going 00:44:33.045 --> 00:44:38.887 - to have a lot that has a seven-day period where there's no access, we would try to create additional 00:44:38.887 --> 00:44:44.788 - ADA space somewhere nearby. And we would do that based on not only what's required, but if we need to 00:44:44.788 --> 00:44:50.110 - try to go above and beyond, we would do that as well if it's going to have an impact there. 00:44:50.914 --> 00:45:00.963 - And it's also possible that some of the configurations of the parking lots change slightly to meet newer 00:45:00.963 --> 00:45:10.534 - standards for ADA things like that as well. Any other questions from the board. Any public comments 00:45:10.534 --> 00:45:13.214 - on this item. None on zoom. 00:45:14.946 --> 00:45:22.393 - Seeing none. Is there a motion? I move that we approve the contract with Riverside Paving and Contracting 00:45:22.393 --> 00:45:29.699 - Inc for parking lots one three and five resurfacing project Second I will call the roll Karon. I roach. 00:45:29.699 --> 00:45:36.724 - I Cox Deckard. I motion passes Next we have amendment one to the contract with Browning Chapman for 00:45:36.724 --> 00:45:44.382 - Morton and Walnut garages. All right, so this is a change order Well, this is the result of the change order 00:45:44.482 --> 00:45:52.242 - And that the result of that had the result of the work associated with change order put this beyond 00:45:52.242 --> 00:46:00.156 - the expiration date of the original completion and so we're just extending that asking to extend that 00:46:00.156 --> 00:46:07.916 - out to January 31st 2026 so that we can get all that work completed and then the next items kind of 00:46:07.916 --> 00:46:14.046 - related Questions from the board on this item Any public comments on this item 00:46:16.642 --> 00:46:24.594 - None on zoom Seeing none. Is there a motion? I move that we approve amendment one to the contract with 00:46:24.594 --> 00:46:32.469 - Browning Chapman for Morton and Walnut garages second All right. I will call the roll Caron. I roach. 00:46:32.469 --> 00:46:40.498 - I Cox Deckard. I motion passes Next we have change order one for contract for Morton and Walnut garages 00:46:40.498 --> 00:46:42.814 - project with Browning Chapman 00:46:42.946 --> 00:46:50.580 - Yes, so this is a change order. This is a change order for the work at the walnut and Morton garages 00:46:50.580 --> 00:46:58.289 - that are part of the water proofing contract we just talked about we Had to go with some new brackets 00:46:58.289 --> 00:47:03.806 - for fabrication specifically to the third floor at the Morton garage and 00:47:03.906 --> 00:47:10.830 - They've so that they could properly be anchored. This is for the if you think about the wired Retention 00:47:10.830 --> 00:47:17.555 - that you see between the levels of parking garages That's part of what this is. So see solutions are 00:47:17.555 --> 00:47:24.346 - structural engineer on all of this did some work to suggest how we Implement this and that results in 00:47:24.346 --> 00:47:31.137 - a change order in the amount of fifteen thousand four hundred and forty four dollars forty five cents 00:47:31.137 --> 00:47:33.534 - and We ask for your approval Thanks 00:47:33.858 --> 00:47:41.029 - Questions from the board are so we have an amendment one and a change order one. These are distinguished 00:47:41.029 --> 00:47:47.928 - because one is a date change and the other one is actually a scope. I mean it's a change to the what 00:47:47.928 --> 00:47:54.826 - was required to fulfill the work. It's not a change in the scope of the project. It's a change order 00:47:54.826 --> 00:48:01.246 - that had a monetary that resulted in a monetary change to the overall amount of the contract. 00:48:01.954 --> 00:48:10.945 - So they can both be one because one's an amendment and one is a change order. Correct. Just making sure. 00:48:10.945 --> 00:48:19.680 - All right. Any public comments on this item. None on zoom seeing none. Is there a motion. I move that 00:48:19.680 --> 00:48:28.671 - we approve change order one for the contract with for the contract for Morton and Walnut garages project 00:48:28.671 --> 00:48:31.326 - with Browning Chapman. Second. 00:48:32.418 --> 00:48:40.348 - I will call the roll Caron. I Roche I Cox Deckard I motion passes. Next up is staff reports and other 00:48:40.348 --> 00:48:48.277 - business. All right. Adam Wason again public works director. Just a couple of quick staff reports one 00:48:48.277 --> 00:48:56.051 - just to note that you know it's winter in Bloomington and per typical winter weather in Bloomington 00:48:56.051 --> 00:49:01.182 - it's kind of going up and down and all around and we have had now 00:49:01.442 --> 00:49:07.333 - three winter weather events officially that we've responded to this weekend. You know, they started 00:49:07.333 --> 00:49:13.459 - seeing the precipitation occurring Saturday morning. It wasn't the road temperatures weren't quite cold 00:49:13.459 --> 00:49:19.349 - enough for it to stick right away. And then when it did cool down, that's when it really started to 00:49:19.349 --> 00:49:21.470 - fall out of the sky and accumulate. 00:49:22.018 --> 00:49:27.544 - And then we, of course, had the Arctic blast that took temperatures down below zero. You know, we got 00:49:27.544 --> 00:49:33.017 - a lot of feedback that, you know, they didn't see trucks out salting Saturday night, et cetera, just 00:49:33.017 --> 00:49:34.046 - to make note that. 00:49:34.370 --> 00:49:40.048 - In conditions like that, when it starts to dip below the 15 degree level, especially with wind chills, 00:49:40.048 --> 00:49:45.837 - the salt's no longer effective in melting the snow. So we certainly weren't out there putting down extra 00:49:45.837 --> 00:49:51.516 - salt at that time. We needed to wait till those temperatures rose, which you don't want to put it down 00:49:51.516 --> 00:49:57.029 - in anticipation of the temperatures rising because traffic will break it up. It'll fall towards the 00:49:57.029 --> 00:50:03.038 - sides of the road, et cetera. So kudos to our crews. They do just tremendous work in these tough conditions. 00:50:03.586 --> 00:50:08.898 - And so just wanted to make note of that. And then I just wanted to highlight a few things. And as part 00:50:08.898 --> 00:50:14.159 - of the consent agenda tonight, you approved the 2026 Cooperative Services Agreement with Centerstone. 00:50:14.159 --> 00:50:18.853 - This is for our Brighton Bloomington project and program, which is a supportive employment 00:50:18.853 --> 00:50:24.217 - program partnership between City of Bloomington Public Works, City of Bloomington Parks and Recreation, 00:50:24.217 --> 00:50:29.426 - and Centerstone. And I just wanted to highlight a couple things. It's one of the projects and one of 00:50:29.426 --> 00:50:33.552 - the programs we're really proud of. These folks are the folks you see downtown. 00:50:33.552 --> 00:50:40.731 - They're cleaning up doing sidewalk cleanup vegetation and weed removal tree trimming curb painting graffiti 00:50:40.731 --> 00:50:47.512 - removal Clearing storm drains and then here even during the winter weather months. We have them doing 00:50:47.512 --> 00:50:51.966 - some pedestrian scale snow and ice removal from ADA ramps and such 00:50:52.866 --> 00:51:00.836 - Since 2017 117 individuals have taken part in the program 71 of those that were either homeless or in 00:51:00.836 --> 00:51:09.118 - transitional housing when they began the program were successfully housed which is something that is just 00:51:09.570 --> 00:51:16.262 - As good as it gets and then 90 of those employees have maintained permanent housing according to some 00:51:16.262 --> 00:51:22.822 - of the latest information we've Gathered with center stone Over a hundred thousand pounds of debris 00:51:22.822 --> 00:51:29.514 - have been collected since the start of the program 78,000 feet of curb have been painted Thousands of 00:51:29.514 --> 00:51:36.075 - storm drains cleared and just overall great program that we've been proud of for many years in that 00:51:36.075 --> 00:51:36.862 - partnership 00:51:37.506 --> 00:51:44.472 - Additionally, we've had some of that we've had Members have graduated out of the program into some full-time 00:51:44.472 --> 00:51:50.864 - employment Including one that now works with our parking services department They led teams as part 00:51:50.864 --> 00:51:57.382 - of our annual downtown cleanup. So there was a city staff member a center stone staff member and they 00:51:57.382 --> 00:52:03.518 - were the crew leaders for our annual downtown cleanup, so There's a bunch of information on our 00:52:03.810 --> 00:52:11.363 - brightened on our dashboard of the city's data dashboard on the work that these crews have been doing. 00:52:11.363 --> 00:52:18.697 - But just wanted to highlight that program, the work that's being accomplished, the partnership that 00:52:18.697 --> 00:52:26.103 - we've created and overall great results that we're seeing with it. Something we're just proud of. So 00:52:26.103 --> 00:52:26.910 - thank you. 00:52:29.634 --> 00:52:35.703 - If I can also add one of the things in the contract we approved tonight was a change to seven day a 00:52:35.703 --> 00:52:42.136 - week work. Yeah. So one of the things we've realized with this past football season and some other events 00:52:42.136 --> 00:52:47.902 - that we could really use some help downtown on Saturdays and Sundays with general cleanup. So. 00:52:48.546 --> 00:52:57.173 - Sundays in particular our downtown specialist gets pretty overwhelmed with trash litter removal from 00:52:57.173 --> 00:53:05.971 - those, you know spots we all know and love along Kirkwood College walnut And so yeah, this does expand 00:53:05.971 --> 00:53:14.854 - that and we're excited for that Thank you All right, next is approval of claims are there any questions 00:53:14.854 --> 00:53:17.502 - from the board on the claims I 00:53:18.018 --> 00:53:26.442 - And I apologize that I didn't bring this up yesterday I'm looking at the very last page page 55 and 00:53:26.442 --> 00:53:35.119 - Right at the top. There's three claims for cranes leather and shoe shop ink one is $100 one's $125 and 00:53:35.119 --> 00:53:40.510 - one is $10,000 and That just kind of stood out to me is unusual 00:53:47.330 --> 00:53:53.863 - The $10,000 claim is for various employees. And then the other two were safety shoes for employees that 00:53:53.863 --> 00:54:00.208 - could not make it on the date that everyone, so they take everyone on one day is what they try to do 00:54:00.208 --> 00:54:04.542 - to get all of that into one claim for what is purchased by the city. 00:54:05.058 --> 00:54:13.336 - This is coordinated through risk management and all the various divisions that have union employees 00:54:13.336 --> 00:54:21.614 - or other employees required to wear personal protective equipment, specifically work boots. So this 00:54:21.614 --> 00:54:30.554 - is our work boot reimbursement program up to $125 per employee per year. And then for some of our divisions 00:54:30.554 --> 00:54:35.024 - or departments that have higher than average wear and 00:54:35.024 --> 00:54:41.976 - pair on those boots we do offer a potential second pair if they show that hey you know a sanitation 00:54:41.976 --> 00:54:49.137 - worker on and off the truck throughout those boots are going to last hopefully six to nine months. But 00:54:49.137 --> 00:54:56.229 - if they do wear out we assist with a second pair as well. Thank you. Appreciate it. Believe it or not 00:54:56.229 --> 00:55:03.390 - I actually have a question about claims. All right. This is the night for claims questions on page 27. 00:55:03.490 --> 00:55:15.310 - under economic and sustainable developments claims. There is a claim for $4,200 to Talia Holliday for 00:55:15.310 --> 00:55:19.134 - Kirkwood Activation Coordinator. 00:55:19.426 --> 00:55:28.189 - Do you can you just describe that activity? My understanding is that they've brought Talia on as a Contracted 00:55:28.189 --> 00:55:36.394 - staff member to assist with we've got several aspects of the Kirkwood and downtown.
