Mike Hollabaugh, director of Community Services, told the board the council adopted the ordinance in early June and gave department staff a six-month timeline to implement it. “This software agreement with Teleme really helps put us in position to implement the rental registration ordinance that the council adopted in early June, and they gave us a 6 month timeline,” Hollabaugh said. He said staff reviewed another system, Decarad (transcript: Deckard), but after demonstrations he and Kevin Cusimano felt the Teleme product was the better option; he added that a neighboring jurisdiction is already using the same platform.

The board voted to add the item to the agenda and then approved the 36-month purchase of software services for $55,000. Staff said the contract will enable the department to meet the council’s implementation timeline; the board recorded the standard motion and vote.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Board of Public Works - July 2, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","The board approved a 36‑month contract to implement rental registration software the Community Services Department said is needed to meet a six-month council timeline after the council adopted the rental registration ordinance in early June.","taxTitle","Carmel, Hamilton County, Indiana","taxId",3929,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":75,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":76,"_41":77,"_43":78,"_45":79,"_46":80,"_48":81,"_50":82,"_52":83,"_54":55,"_56":57,"_58":84,"_60":61,"_62":63,"_64":85,"_66":67,"_68":69,"_70":67,"_71":72,"_73":72},6179823,"Carmel approves multiple utilities easements and change orders, including well drilling and wastewater warranty adjustment",168,732000,900000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5123133-bdccf2e5d77f4149f08b8de203aedd78&start=732&end=900","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5123133-bdccf2e5d77f4149f08b8de203aedd78/thumbnail_732000.jpg","/articles/6179823/Carmel/Hamilton-County/Indiana/Carmel-approves-multiple-utilities-easements-and-change-orders-including-well-drilling-and-wastewater-warranty-adjustment","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6179823-4a1cfd1b31d917a95091889bdf7b3c16/orig.mp4?Expires=1775997972&Signature=otxYUshfBG7rQrlrmnogxX94~qK12H5-Nd~SqYfr7ER6lyJ5de25w1YeR1q7QIsMlskf5gcpTZKtJtbzKyzW39TXfgtomqZE1ayHW-Yt3DEkTVXWWsiN8U6PUz-ZzNIU5-GsN7cl0jovLZuCI0A4daycoG1dBfv6McpI~vWMQb7F-sTjV3yhJIjXb32t6t1mqDQMD9B5xR7BtX97xs2FcicrMPdsLTqmUXNhQFTH~eUXJjko-5xidkcFB3O7syKATQ2hlIyKqarwob9dOksb8jPYyvMzluMosnRweJj75cAErYPlf6pjG0MRtdo7rresMqODMu-zKoNlKEvrF-CH0A__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The City of Carmel Board of Public Works and Safety approved several utility-related items July 2, covering well construction, wastewater project changes and water-line easements.

Lane Young of Utilities explained a change order with National Water Services LLC for $13,730 related to a new well project. The drill depth extended about 10 additional feet, and Young said the change order covers the extra materials and labor. “We have got a project where we're building a new well, near one of our other well sites, and the depth that they needed to drill ended up going another 10 feet,” Young said.

The board approved a change order for the wastewater plant digester gas piping replacement project with American Structure Point Inc. as a deductive change. Young said the contractor had originally included a five-year warranty in the contract price; the city elected to purchase the warranty directly from the equipment manufacturer, so the contractor deducted the warranty cost from the contract amount.

The board also approved water-line easement agreements for a Michigan Road project, including a temporary easement and a permanent easement to allow the city to take service areas off legacy Citizens Energy mains. Young said some customers remain on Citizens Energy mains; completing the project will transfer those customers to city service.

Each item was moved, seconded and approved by the board. Several of the easements and a pair of county variance agreements for water-main depth were described as previously approved by the county and were submitted for signature after the county updated its forms.","The board approved change orders and easements July 2 for water and wastewater projects, including an added cost to deepen a new well, final change order deduct for a wastewater digester warranty, and permanent and temporary easements on North Michigan Road.",{"_33":87,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":88,"_41":89,"_43":90,"_45":91,"_46":92,"_48":93,"_50":94,"_52":95,"_54":55,"_56":57,"_58":96,"_60":61,"_62":63,"_64":97,"_66":67,"_68":69,"_70":67,"_71":72,"_73":72},6179828,"Carmel approves suite of IT and equipment contracts, including $1.13M networking upgrade",128,501000,629000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5123133-bdccf2e5d77f4149f08b8de203aedd78&start=501&end=629","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5123133-bdccf2e5d77f4149f08b8de203aedd78/thumbnail_501000.jpg","/articles/6179828/Carmel/Hamilton-County/Indiana/Carmel-approves-suite-of-IT-and-equipment-contracts-including-113M-networking-upgrade","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6179828-14eabdbfe62ab2a9e1ead819702da981/orig.mp4?Expires=1775997972&Signature=TIjWf6CPLi5-UIRUkoJg6iC0buxmeYXFNMYGop5YbOe-dYezNZBNcFcCVlJrb9MXLAco2PToMfq4cUq2LJFRZJH70qSmdnNCVrZEJT67zyw1wbGps7r9uyAWTgqXyd~hVu7iNDcm4TFM~5SMYQCV3qE8BnHJtjx5s7vrkuG-uFHU4n3td~MtSdDTbCmDtmtRYLlGqRowpg1zgBb-GhmGpSJAuU73L-PvN8oasn7ouWQ9COs0jdm~wtLxxuCkb3bEyJd1DZDqRvqmspOeR3CAC4lnpeRgOC1KPldXiw6CX6AUo3nwO3HChLg6PRxrpEPSCapATRMT6AUJ835EGGULug__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The City of Carmel Board of Public Works and Safety on July 2 approved several technology and equipment contracts intended to refresh aging infrastructure across city systems.

Kevin Cusimano, the city’s director of technology, told the board a master agreement with CivicPlus LLC for $82,932 will upgrade the City of Carmel’s web platform and tie into a recent 3-1-1 upgrade. “These two things will work together to improve the website for the City of Carmel,” Cusimano said.

The board also approved a $62,062 agreement with Forte Inc. to replace end-of-life Axis cameras in public-facing spaces; Cusimano noted the cameras typically have about a five-year service life. An $89,330 purchase with Fuller Engineering Co. was approved to provide Liebert PDX air-cooled units for the city data center, which support server-room environmental controls.

A substantial networking contract amendment with Insight Public Sector Inc. for $1,134,863.20 was approved to replace HPE Aruba network switches that the city said have an approximately five-year lifespan. The board additionally approved a $131,265 contract with NV5 Geospatial Inc. for CityWorks support, which covers an upgrade to the work-order platform and extra vendor support hours.

Board members moved and approved each item by vote. Staff said the purchases are part of routine lifecycle replacements and platform upgrades; no debates about funding sources or vendor selection were recorded at the meeting.","The board approved multiple contracts July 2 for web platform upgrades, camera replacements, network-switch replacements and CityWorks support, part of a routine multi-year refresh of IT infrastructure.",{"_33":99,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":100,"_41":101,"_43":102,"_45":103,"_46":104,"_48":105,"_50":106,"_52":107,"_54":55,"_56":57,"_58":108,"_60":61,"_62":63,"_64":109,"_66":67,"_68":69,"_70":67,"_71":72,"_73":72},6179834,"Carmel approves drone equipment purchase to expand police DFR program",121,259000,380000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5123133-bdccf2e5d77f4149f08b8de203aedd78&start=259&end=380","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5123133-bdccf2e5d77f4149f08b8de203aedd78/thumbnail_259000.jpg","/articles/6179834/Carmel/Hamilton-County/Indiana/Carmel-approves-drone-equipment-purchase-to-expand-police-DFR-program","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6179834-52533295eb03dd31f1fbca772b3d0efd/orig.mp4?Expires=1775997972&Signature=oSnxm5~61YY3KwLFtu76GugBE7doDqlLtlBBSuoIUUAtREoRfSbQttjO~r0wm7sNOEtgNgPdsByfWIE~WUt1OIIEqvnMnLAcqb07X8Xr2slAxW~hs7LW6LBoNSSEsnw9JjWdH6-EaIHzI1WY4wuGYvOkm0EMIABSipnBGocyTXK~T9Qorbx1vlterj6VyKnMZvAEtgqc-7sPjXh95OcwcNXLpgRqsN3gkvxIldbVa6Y6OI2Mij4-40EwmnnfZNLVMDfRAIR~mrREvY7G03Ki81vry2P3Yo~rsA7vBLO1pobs3k5Niz8L~NGoTE-oEk~EQpEn0A7rJWt4c3RmFXtGbQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The City of Carmel Board of Public Works and Safety approved a $91,621 contract July 2 with General Pacific Inc. to buy drones and supporting hardware for the Carmel Police Department.

Jared Huff of the Carmel Engineering Department read the bidders and totals for two linked solicitations. For one package, the low responsive bid was from HIS Constructors Inc. at $784,145; other bids included Yarberry Companies Inc. ($836,403), Morphy Construction Inc. ($884,000) and Calumet Civil Contractors Inc. ($976,000). For the separate but related project package, HIS Constructors Inc. again submitted the low bid at $2,886,045.90; Morphy Construction Inc. bid $3,305,000; Calumet Civil Contractors Inc. bid $3,720,000; and Yarberry Companies Inc. bid $4,248,755.

Huff told the board members they might need to view both bid documents to see the totals because the procurement portal lists the projects separately. The board did not vote to award either contract. A board member said, “We’ll take these and review and come back in the next meeting.”

The board’s action preserves the usual competitive-bid review process; staff will analyze bids for responsiveness, required bonds and references before returning with a recommendation for award or rejection.

No statutory authority or contract award was cited during the opening; the board recorded the bids and moved to review them at a later date.","At the July 2 Board of Public Works and Safety meeting, engineering staff opened competing bids for two connected projects on Westfield Boulevard and said the city will review submissions and return with recommendations at a future meeting.","actionData","errors"]
