Good evening, I'm Catherine Zeiger, utilities director. 00:04:54.370 --> 00:05:03.281 - I'm presenting tonight's consent agenda totaling $20,464.37. The first contract is with Bledsoe, Rigert, 00:05:03.281 --> 00:05:11.768 - Cooper, and James Inc. not to exceed $15,000 to complete survey work and produce a preliminary plat 00:05:11.768 --> 00:05:14.654 - for 6570 South Old State Road 37. 00:05:15.554 --> 00:05:24.307 - Next is with Affordable Waste Solutions LLC DBA Affordable Septic and Repair for $4,764.37 for reseating 00:05:24.307 --> 00:05:33.143 - plant mixed liquor at Blucher Pool Wastewater Treatment Plant.

Hearing none, if 00:05:51.958 --> 00:05:59.486 - there's no opposition, these items will be approved as recommended by staff. Hearing no opposition, 00:05:59.486 --> 00:06:07.014 - the consent agenda is approved. Very good, thank you. Item six on our agenda is to request approval 00:06:07.014 --> 00:06:12.510 - of consulting service agreement with Commonwealth Engineers Incorporated 00:06:12.962 --> 00:06:20.398 - and Kevin White is here to explain this project. Yep, Kevin White, Capital Projects Coordinator. Yes, 00:06:20.398 --> 00:06:27.760 - this is a project with Commonwealth Engineer to do a basis of design study for the sewer system that 00:06:27.760 --> 00:06:35.196 - runs through basically College Mall Road. We have an ongoing SSO in the area of Covenator and College 00:06:35.196 --> 00:06:35.998 - Mall Road. 00:06:36.130 --> 00:06:43.557 - So this basis of design will implement some flow meters that you'll hear another contract later tonight 00:06:43.557 --> 00:06:50.841 - with grip about. We'll set the flow meters out, study the system, figure out potential route and size 00:06:50.841 --> 00:06:57.982 - of pipe needed to be upgraded to alleviate this ongoing SSO. As part of that basis of design study, 00:06:57.982 --> 00:06:58.910 - they'll also 00:06:59.554 --> 00:07:08.741 - estimate the construction cost of the different options. So this is really just the very beginning stages 00:07:08.741 --> 00:07:17.494 - of what's going to be a much larger project down the road. Happy to try and answer any questions. It 00:07:17.494 --> 00:07:26.161 - is for the amount of $197,461 and no cents. Kevin, could you give us a little background on the SSO 00:07:26.161 --> 00:07:28.414 - issues in that region and 00:07:29.218 --> 00:07:36.177 - you know the development what we are trying to plan for here or catch up to yeah and I might defer to 00:07:36.177 --> 00:07:43.000 - Phil a little bit on this I know he's got a lot more history on it but I know that we've been we've 00:07:43.000 --> 00:07:50.096 - had we fought some undersized pipes in the area there and it's a pinch point to where two of the larger 00:07:50.096 --> 00:07:57.055 - pipes come together and we just need some more capacity in the pipe now Phil can speak to the ongoing 00:07:57.055 --> 00:07:59.102 - issue there if you don't mind 00:07:59.682 --> 00:08:07.824 - sure. Philippine engineering. So we had the corrective SSO corrective action plan from 2004 that detailed 00:08:07.824 --> 00:08:15.658 - a lot of the issues that we have in the southeast range basin or sewer basin. And so that area around 00:08:15.658 --> 00:08:23.492 - college mall, we've done a ton of rehabilitation, we've done a lot of lining, we've done grouting. So 00:08:23.492 --> 00:08:27.486 - we did connection remediation too. So I'm gonna say 00:08:27.586 --> 00:08:34.151 - over $5 million, maybe $10 million in rehabilitation in that basin, try to eliminate I&I. We 00:08:34.151 --> 00:08:41.210 - still occasionally still have the SSO there at Covenanter and College Mall Road. So as part of that 00:08:41.210 --> 00:08:48.552 - corrective action plan, it detailed upgrades to this system for more capacity all the way down to where 00:08:48.552 --> 00:08:55.823 - the sewer crosses Sayre Road. It's significantly undersized. We lined it to try to eliminate I&I along 00:08:55.823 --> 00:08:56.670 - the stream. 00:08:56.834 --> 00:09:05.692 - And that was years ago, but that didn't correct it, so. This happened during storm events, more or less? 00:09:05.692 --> 00:09:14.297 - Yeah, dry weather were okay, but rain events. Yeah. Well, I ask that because, you know, we're kind of 00:09:14.297 --> 00:09:23.070 - seeing some transition in that area and how we need to be ready for future uses and that sort of thing. 00:09:27.906 --> 00:09:34.705 - In terms of current SSO issues, is this like top three, number one priority that we have? Yeah, so the 00:09:34.705 --> 00:09:41.504 - biggest one that we had was right down here at Micro Motors at Grimes and Walnut, the most reoccurring 00:09:41.504 --> 00:09:48.238 - one, but then our sewer that we did, the South Central Sewer Interceptor, which is about two miles of 00:09:48.238 --> 00:09:50.878 - interceptor from Grimes to Moores Pike. 00:09:51.042 --> 00:09:57.710 - that corrected that one, it went through the switch yard park. So we eliminated our worst one, but College 00:09:57.710 --> 00:10:04.004 - Mall Road still occurs. Matt, do you know how frequently we've seen that one occur in the last year? 00:10:04.004 --> 00:10:09.675 - I'm not entirely sure. It's at least once a year, I think. Yeah. So the idea was we do all 00:10:09.675 --> 00:10:16.094 - this rehabilitation and try to eliminate I&I to push this down the road a little bit so we didn't have 00:10:16.094 --> 00:10:20.830 - to do the big project. But it's still happening. And like you said, there's 00:10:20.994 --> 00:10:28.182 - a lot of development happening in that area too. A lot of changes where we're seeing increased flow. 00:10:28.182 --> 00:10:35.298 - The goal is to get this estimate so that we can put this on the next rate case for sewer so we have 00:10:35.298 --> 00:10:42.841 - an accurate idea what the cost will be for the project. That's a good idea. Other questions or discussion 00:10:42.841 --> 00:10:44.478 - for our staff experts? 00:10:51.970 --> 00:10:59.085 - with Commonwealth Engineers. Second. All right it's been moved and seconded. Any further discussion? 00:10:59.085 --> 00:11:06.340 - All in favor say aye. Aye. Opposed? All right motion carries thank you. Item seven then is the request 00:11:06.340 --> 00:11:13.384 - for approval of the second amendment to our agreement with Commonwealth Engineers which pertains to 00:11:13.384 --> 00:11:17.822 - booster station improvements and Kevin is still at the podium. 00:11:18.082 --> 00:11:25.275 - Yep, Kevin White, capital projects coordinator still. This is, as Kirk said, related to the booster 00:11:25.275 --> 00:11:32.611 - station improvement and general guaranteed savings contract that we started a while back and then had 00:11:32.611 --> 00:11:37.790 - some funding issues. So we hit pause for a couple of years. We've since 00:11:38.178 --> 00:11:44.404 - Receive the one point two five million dollar grant from Congresswoman who chin and then so it's and 00:11:44.404 --> 00:11:50.692 - then we have the water rate case funding that's going to become available so this project starting to 00:11:50.692 --> 00:11:57.534 - pick back up the thirty nine thousand six hundred dollars and no sense that this second amendment is for is to 00:11:57.698 --> 00:12:06.366 - is to cover the fee rate increases from Commonwealth during that two year delay. And it is not a change 00:12:06.366 --> 00:12:15.202 - in material costs as it says on the summary of contract as pointed out to me from the controller's office 00:12:15.202 --> 00:12:23.870 - this morning. So I just wanted to make that clear. Happy to answer any questions. Any questions, Kevin? 00:12:26.722 --> 00:12:36.195 - second amendment to the agreement with Commonwealth engineer for the booster station improvements second 00:12:36.195 --> 00:12:45.487 - okay it's been moved and seconded any further discussion all in favor say aye opposed all right motion 00:12:45.487 --> 00:12:53.246 - carries thank you thank you next is item 8 request approval of the resolution 2026-12 00:12:53.922 --> 00:13:01.853 - which is the bid acceptance and contract award for the Dillon Wastewater Treatment Plant Filter Media 00:13:01.853 --> 00:13:10.406 - Replacement Project. Dan. Hi, I'm Dan Hudson, Capital Projects Manager for the City of Bloomington Utilities. 00:13:10.406 --> 00:13:18.182 - And back in April 30th, we had a special board meeting. It was open to the public where we accepted 00:13:18.182 --> 00:13:21.214 - bids for the replacement of the media. 00:13:21.346 --> 00:13:32.370 - at the Dillman Wastewater Treatment Plant. We received three bids and we found that Thenemann was the 00:13:32.370 --> 00:13:43.285 - lowest, most responsive and responsible of the three for $690,000. The engineering estimate for that 00:13:43.285 --> 00:13:50.526 - was $800,000. So I'd like the board to consider Resolution 2026-12 00:13:50.626 --> 00:14:02.118 - as an acceptance of their bid. Okay, thank you. Any questions for Dan? Nope. All right. I move that 00:14:02.118 --> 00:14:14.645 - we approve resolution 2026-12 with Deniman Construction. Second. Moved and seconded. Any further discussion? 00:14:14.645 --> 00:14:18.782 - All in favor say aye. Aye. Opposed? 00:14:19.618 --> 00:14:29.794 - motion carries thank you next as item 9 the request for approval of our public works agreement with 00:14:29.794 --> 00:14:40.174 - thenaman construction incorporated again this is the contract with the thenaman and us to perform the 00:14:40.174 --> 00:14:43.838 - work we previously talked about for 00:14:44.162 --> 00:14:54.951 - $690,000. I'd like the board to consider this contract so we can move forward with it. Okay. I move 00:14:54.951 --> 00:15:06.065 - that we approve the contract with Veneman. All right. Moved and seconded for approval of the contract. 00:15:06.065 --> 00:15:12.862 - All in favor say aye. Aye. Opposed? All right, motion carried. 00:15:13.250 --> 00:15:22.310 - Very good. Thank you. Thank you. All right. Item 10 is a request for approval of the service agreement 00:15:22.310 --> 00:15:31.458 - with GRIP, Incorporated. Matt. Hi, folks. I'm Matt Dabberton. I'm the environmental program coordinator 00:15:31.458 --> 00:15:41.310 - for the utility. This contract is related to item six that Kevin presented with the contract with Commonwealth. 00:15:41.506 --> 00:15:51.350 - RIP would be placing three sewer flow meters in the College Mall sewer basin, as well as installing 00:15:51.350 --> 00:16:01.883 - a couple of rain gauges. We would then be using that equipment once the flow study is concluded to replace 00:16:01.883 --> 00:16:11.038 - some of our old permanent flow meters that the utility owns, which have been failing lately. 00:16:11.650 --> 00:16:29.517 - I believe the contract is for around $47,000. I'm happy to answer any questions. Okay. Yes, $48,901.74. 00:16:29.517 --> 00:16:38.622 - Very good. Questions for Matt on this project. Okay. 00:16:39.650 --> 00:16:47.296 - that we approve this service agreement with GRIP, Incorporated. Second. All right, it's been moved and 00:16:47.296 --> 00:16:54.496 - seconded. Any further discussion? All in favor say aye. Aye. Opposed? All right, motion carries. 00:16:54.496 --> 00:17:01.993 - Thank you. Thank you. And next is item 11, request for approval of the amendment number three to our 00:17:01.993 --> 00:17:07.486 - agreement with Stantec Consulting Services. Matt. Yeah, so Stantec is the 00:17:07.906 --> 00:17:16.424 - that is doing our rate design for our current rate case. So hopefully this last amendment will get us 00:17:16.424 --> 00:17:24.942 - to the finish line with them. OK. Any questions? Discussion? All right. Yeah. Well, I'm just curious. 00:17:24.942 --> 00:17:34.462 - So it looks like it's like quadrupled since we started. Am I looking at the right page here? Well, this last one. 00:17:34.594 --> 00:17:42.617 - We just threw $49 on it again to make sure, but they billed by the hour. So if they don't use it all 00:17:42.617 --> 00:17:50.561 - day, we won't pay for it. Why originally did we expect that there'd be so much less work? I mean, I 00:17:50.561 --> 00:17:58.664 - guess we spent a lot. I thought we spent a lot of time going back through records to provide the data 00:17:58.664 --> 00:18:00.094 - that they needed. 00:18:00.322 --> 00:18:07.682 - Yeah, we did. So there was some data issues in the beginning that caused some doubling of work. And 00:18:07.682 --> 00:18:15.483 - then just as we've gone through this process, it's taken them more time to do the analysis and to prepare 00:18:15.483 --> 00:18:23.064 - testimony for the IURC. OK. And are we still hopeful to get on? Do we have a calendar date yet? We do. 00:18:23.064 --> 00:18:29.982 - We're at an evidentiary hearing on June 2. June 2. OK. Which is after our next meeting. Yeah. 00:18:30.114 --> 00:18:40.637 - Yes, okay. Okay, thank you. Okay, any other questions? All right. I move that we approve amendment number 00:18:40.637 --> 00:18:50.664 - three to the agreement with Stantec Consulting Services. Second. Okay, it's been moved and seconded. 00:18:50.664 --> 00:18:59.102 - Any other discussion? All in favor say aye. Aye. Opposed? All right, motion carries. 00:18:59.650 --> 00:19:09.841 - Item 11. Now we're up to item 12, requesting approval of the revised memorandum of understanding between 00:19:09.841 --> 00:19:19.547 - CBU and retreat at the switch yard. Yes. Catherine Sager, utilities director. I'm bringing back the 00:19:19.547 --> 00:19:28.670 - MOU between CBU and retreat at switch yard, which was considered at our last regular meeting. 00:19:29.442 --> 00:19:37.391 - It was suggested by the board that we added additional language that now reads, in the event retreat 00:19:37.391 --> 00:19:45.418 - decides to sell the property before the balance is paid in full, the retreat shall immediately notify 00:19:45.418 --> 00:19:53.525 - CBU and the remaining balance due and owing for connection fees shall be paid to CBU at closing on the 00:19:53.525 --> 00:19:56.830 - sale of the property. We have added that. 00:19:57.474 --> 00:20:05.328 - and are presenting this again to the board. All right, thank you. Any questions or discussion? Thank 00:20:05.328 --> 00:20:13.183 - you for adding that in there. My only question would be then it's on them to disclose, if they would 00:20:13.183 --> 00:20:21.426 - buy, which I know is a big hypothetical, but if they would sell, I mean, then it's up to them to disclose 00:20:21.426 --> 00:20:26.014 - that to us. There's no like, oh, we know before it happens 00:20:26.818 --> 00:20:34.574 - They have to be the one to tell us like there's not like a legal lien or something on the property that 00:20:34.574 --> 00:20:42.404 - we would be automatically notified if it would come up for sale. I don't think there's like an automatic 00:20:42.404 --> 00:20:50.085 - lien that we would be notified. But if it did change hands, we would likely know that you're about it. 00:20:50.085 --> 00:20:55.454 - But right. But what's the consequence if they don't collect this money? 00:20:58.722 --> 00:21:07.257 - legal avenue to collect this money, I guess. Since they'll be signing it. Yes. And they're responsible 00:21:07.257 --> 00:21:15.957 - for it. Yes. So if they would sell and not disclose it at closing and pay at closing, then this document 00:21:15.957 --> 00:21:24.409 - holds them liable for the full amount. Yes. OK. Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. I guess my question is, so 00:21:24.409 --> 00:21:26.398 - my question is, will we 00:21:26.562 --> 00:21:35.609 - file this with the, will this lien be filed then with the, I don't know which department it is. If you. 00:21:35.609 --> 00:21:44.396 - This is anything but MOU. Okay. Yeah, this is an MOU. This is not necessarily a lien. So once again, 00:21:44.396 --> 00:21:53.530 - how do we get this money if they sell it? That's, I mean, that was what we were talking about last week. 00:21:53.530 --> 00:21:55.966 - But I guess my, wouldn't it 00:21:56.194 --> 00:22:04.257 - be like, so it's a loan, so why wouldn't there be something filed with the, again, I don't know which 00:22:04.257 --> 00:22:12.242 - department it is, but if you buy a home or if you do something and somebody loans you money, because 00:22:12.242 --> 00:22:20.147 - we're essentially loaning the money, correct? I mean, we've worked out a payment plan with them, so 00:22:20.147 --> 00:22:25.918 - if someone were to loan you money on a property, then you file that with 00:22:26.146 --> 00:22:35.206 - And again, I don't know which department it is, so that there is this then legal document on file that 00:22:35.206 --> 00:22:44.091 - this is owed. So I guess. I don't see it as a loan. There's a charge for the connection, and it's to 00:22:44.091 --> 00:22:52.887 - be paid over time. It would be as if someone did work on your house, and you paid it off over time. 00:22:52.887 --> 00:22:55.966 - They're not loaning you the money. 00:22:56.578 --> 00:23:05.805 - It's just setting a time period for the payment of their connection fee. OK. Like we could, I assume, 00:23:05.805 --> 00:23:15.032 - send this to collections if they didn't. Like we have ways of collecting money if they weren't. Well, 00:23:15.032 --> 00:23:24.078 - and it would also be breach of contract. Yeah, also breach of contract. This is a contract. OK. But 00:23:24.078 --> 00:23:26.430 - I can certainly see that. 00:23:26.754 --> 00:23:35.813 - point of the discussion. Because we've seen lots of examples where things happen, and then four or five 00:23:35.813 --> 00:23:44.610 - years later, we forget about them. Or someone does. We would never forget, but. Let's not forget. We 00:23:44.610 --> 00:23:53.408 - won't forget. And then there it is. I can see how it's been billed, but they said they were not able 00:23:53.408 --> 00:23:54.366 - to pay it. 00:23:54.498 --> 00:24:02.579 - So we've performed the services. So I guess that's why I see it as more than like their bill that we've 00:24:02.579 --> 00:24:10.816 - agreed to let them pay over five years. It's the services have been performed. So like, um, like somebody 00:24:10.816 --> 00:24:18.897 - that go put on a new roof for a thousand dollars, they've performed the services are getting paid back. 00:24:18.897 --> 00:24:23.870 - Yeah, we also, I mean, I suppose we also have payment plans for 00:24:24.770 --> 00:24:31.852 - regular customers and they've used the water or the water has been used and then they are paying for 00:24:31.852 --> 00:24:38.863 - that service for that water over time. But they're not it's not a five year payment plan. For fifty 00:24:38.863 --> 00:24:46.295 - two thousand dollars. No no no this is a much larger example which is why we have an MOU and we're taking 00:24:46.295 --> 00:24:53.307 - this to the board. And they're getting into the agreement with us saying that they couldn't pay but 00:24:53.307 --> 00:24:54.078 - I digress. 00:24:56.706 --> 00:25:05.008 - I know I understand I'll just say I understand that I appreciate that our legal has looked over this 00:25:05.008 --> 00:25:13.393 - so I think we've all made our. Expectations and thoughts about it very clear and so what we expect we 00:25:13.393 --> 00:25:21.860 - hope that this is held holding them to that expectation yes. And future developments yeah. I move that 00:25:21.860 --> 00:25:22.846 - we approve. 00:25:23.298 --> 00:25:33.871 - revised MOU between CBU and retreat at the switch yard. Second. It's been moved and seconded. Any other 00:25:33.871 --> 00:25:44.038 - discussion? All right. All in favor say aye. Aye. Opposed? Okay. That MOU is approved. Now we go to 00:25:44.038 --> 00:25:51.358 - old business. Any old business from the board? Old business from staff? 00:25:52.450 --> 00:26:00.323 - New business from the board. New business from staff. Have we had any subcommittees meet in the last 00:26:00.323 --> 00:26:08.431 - two weeks? I don't think so. Now we're up to staff reports. All right. Got a few. So first, we're going 00:26:08.431 --> 00:26:16.226 - to welcome Colton Harden, apprentice master equipment operator in operations who will be working at 00:26:16.226 --> 00:26:19.422 - Blucher Pool Wastewater Treatment Plant. 00:26:20.546 --> 00:26:29.601 - We want to congratulate T&D crew members Brandon Bray and Joseph Gibson. They were promoted to utility 00:26:29.601 --> 00:26:39.096 - specialist too. We want to congratulate Alan Christie and Joshua Wathen in T&D who earned their collections 00:26:39.096 --> 00:26:49.118 - licenses. And also Parker Iles with environmental programs who earned his DSL. And I also want to just, you know, 00:26:49.410 --> 00:26:55.773 - Thank all the crews who were helping to clear inlets ahead of this storm to help lessen the impact that 00:26:55.773 --> 00:27:01.953 - our current aerial flooding is going to have on the city. I know we've been really, really busy with 00:27:01.953 --> 00:27:08.622 - a lot of other storm projects, and we've got a lot of projects happening right now because it's construction 00:27:08.622 --> 00:27:15.230 - season in Bloomington. So I just really appreciate all the crews who took that extra time to get out there. 00:27:15.426 --> 00:27:24.528 - And then finally, I wanted to present to this board a video that we're really proud of that Frank made 00:27:24.528 --> 00:27:33.630 - following the partnership we had with Eskenazi. They had this exhibit called Moliana Vital Ecosystems. 00:27:34.562 --> 00:27:41.505 - And what was cool about it is it used art and science to teach folks about the importance of keeping 00:27:41.505 --> 00:27:48.449 - our waterways clean and how it's all connected and how watersheds are connected. So yeah, enjoy this 00:27:48.449 --> 00:27:54.430 - video made by Frank. And sorry, the sound will be coming from this computer over here. 00:29:01.186 --> 00:29:13.466 - good example thank you all right thank you okay then any petitions or communications from the public 00:29:13.466 --> 00:29:25.502 - or others with us okay well no other business we will stand adjourned until next meeting thank you
