David Bridal, director of the Department of Planning and Transportation, told the board the consultant will perform roughly a six-month review of how the city accepts and processes permits and development-related filings, coordinate closely with Bloomington Utilities and other internal departments, and then remain available for two to three months to help implement recommended changes if needed.

Bridal said the review will include targeted outreach to the development community — engineers, surveyors, builders and frequent filers — and that the plan commission will hear presentations at the start and conclusion of the study. He said there will not be broad public comment opportunities during the review beyond those plan commission public hearings.

Board members voiced support for the study. A motion to approve the contract passed on a roll-call vote: Caron, Roach and Board President Kyla Cox Deckard voted yes.

The contract aims to identify bottlenecks and redundancies in the city’s permit review flow and return recommendations for streamlining and implementation support. Bridal said the follow-up period will allow American Structure Point to assist if recommended changes prove difficult to enact.

The board’s action was routine and did not include details about the contract’s dollar amount in the meeting record.

The board moved immediately to its next agenda item after the vote.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Bloomington Board of Public Works, September 23, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","The Bloomington Board of Public Works voted unanimously Sept. 23 to hire American Structure Point to review the city’s development services and permit-review processes, with outreach to the development community and follow-up implementation support.","taxTitle","Bloomington City, Monroe County, Indiana","taxId",3535,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6461848,"Staff reports: corrected downtown paving bids, Kirkwood event closures Oct. 2, railing work resumed and elevator updates",154,941000,1095000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5821015-c5279981d5c104bba8d7badfbd9f4f02&start=941&end=1095","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5821015-c5279981d5c104bba8d7badfbd9f4f02/thumbnail_941000.jpg","/articles/6461848/Bloomington-City/Monroe-County/Indiana/Staff-reports-corrected-downtown-paving-bids-Kirkwood-event-closures-Oct-2-railing-work-resumed-and-elevator-updates","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6461848-de8ab19bd02fe902f6e29a77bc6c9c51/orig.mp4?Expires=1770708186&Signature=LtcuI-euyjWUkPcKYotGH1EMyPtl7e8RWY25skup07BUP0A~jBw8B4kso5U-2vhVyQQM8lL6GSeW7KicGuEZrQCgmbtID9d92pOeUwYAXEMz8BaGlN-BWN32JZ0GGbCxSE-S-u2PZ8cSVLO-rcPTdHEsWmufzAaedn9zxhpxOmHMYf~LwffbI7HYli2ctAGaHE~wF4Z-l5EsY10wT5d6gRBgLiCzq~i~PGqU9K5tX61CDHm-XTsA7a186-EYh3Cw2ZKQ8x7KbyNcxQGH2JGB0kahiqqr2zNgpW1rRTFXvjCJx4geGPIFsApDC0vgNO78duzrGJAvv1KTuOnREXgAHg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","City public-works staff reported a series of operational updates at the Board of Public Works meeting on Sept. 23.

Engineering staff read a correction to recorded bid totals from the recent downtown paving bid opening. The corrected lump-sum totals remove unit-price items that were not part of the lump-sum scope. With the correction, E and B Paving LLC's bid is $425,250 and Milestone Contractors's bid is $572,857.50; the bidders have been notified, staff said.

Staff also described downtown traffic and safety plans for a promotional Indiana University athletics event scheduled for Oct. 2 on Kirkwood Avenue. Staff said they will close Dunn Street between Sixth and Fourth streets for the duration of the event and during teardown, with soft closures and barricades at adjacent approaches; access to alleys for deliveries will be maintained. Staff said they expect to clear office staff by about 5 p.m. and anticipate implementing closures roughly around 4'5 p.m., though exact timing will depend on event logistics and final coordination with public-safety partners.

Public-works staff reported crews returned to a delayed railing project near the convention center after a supplier delay and rainouts, and said the Walnut Street elevator should be fully functional; staff expect the Morton Street Garage elevator to come online within a few weeks after contractor delays.

The reports were informational and did not require board action during the meeting.","City staff corrected bid totals for downtown paving, announced a downtown Kirkwood closure and event on Oct. 2, reported resumed railing work near the convention center, and said two elevators should be back online soon.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6461853,"Board approves three change orders extending Fire Station 3 work after permit delays",200,706000,906000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5821015-c5279981d5c104bba8d7badfbd9f4f02&start=706&end=906","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5821015-c5279981d5c104bba8d7badfbd9f4f02/thumbnail_706000.jpg","/articles/6461853/Bloomington-City/Monroe-County/Indiana/Board-approves-three-change-orders-extending-Fire-Station-3-work-after-permit-delays","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6461853-fcf924f1f0a4f94a1823fc721f53f046/orig.mp4?Expires=1770708186&Signature=KqtWSEJPRKbynpc6Pfn4TAJx0hG2ngzKgW-0cURbxBI3ldT7vbygppYFm6mYwu4EDq-u1ULQImreYS043zNGgxcllyavbTEg483ik-eQ6LdAYmDWQqtk3SlsDYlhRVDGswFeUjR9R1nP0H7B7-INuDIlv7XTRs3JKaPBV7vEU8PNS~jQnsVnaUyjzPE80CEN25voW8GCWxVsVmDhR1lCQaMK2~8odTi80Zs7hn7R6RuB5FC7RgoNlGRNtfoso5dcmNWCrpCeZ35iLgk85YAquti4sefNIhbaSiFT2BR9vVtw-fDB9QP6O6JL~TSlbgF7NuB5yTox1QaV2YzuNQguZw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Bloomington Board of Public Works voted unanimously Sept. 23 to approve three identical change orders that extend contractor completion dates for renovations at Fire Station 3.

Adam Wiesen, speaking for Facilities Director J.D. Boroff, said the change orders extend the contracts by two weeks and three days to a new substantial completion date of Sept. 12, 2025. The extensions were necessary after staff experienced delays in obtaining permits for the new electrical service that was part of the renovation work.

The board approved change order No. 1 for Woods Electric Contracting, Building Associates and Commercial Services. Each motion to approve the respective change order passed on roll-call votes; Caron, Roach and Board President Kyla Cox Deckard voted yes on each.

Wiesen described the approvals as administrative extensions tied to permitting timelines rather than changes to project scope or budget in the meeting record. The board’s action keeps the Fire Station 3 renovation schedule aligned across the multiple prime contractors while staff finish permit processing.

Board members did not request further briefing on additional costs in the meeting record; the staff report presented the change orders as time adjustments tied to permit approval timing.

The board then moved to other agenda items.","The Board of Public Works approved three change orders on Sept. 23 extending completion dates for Fire Station 3 renovations by two weeks and three days after permit delays for new electrical service.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6461843,"Votes at a glance: Board of Public Works actions Sept. 23, 2025",1199,117000,1316000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5821015-c5279981d5c104bba8d7badfbd9f4f02&start=117&end=1316","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5821015-c5279981d5c104bba8d7badfbd9f4f02/thumbnail_117000.jpg","/articles/6461843/Bloomington-City/Monroe-County/Indiana/Votes-at-a-glance-Board-of-Public-Works-actions-Sept-23-2025","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6461843-86f31cee0413a8512c3f5bb90c4444be/orig.mp4?Expires=1770708186&Signature=ZoNrNcrmDare3eF16aNobK4i5kX6dhErplkwZe1nItCOy1E4QC1~6HUTUpZTTJ5iN-FNf8aVlpJ~mE0wKTPhYJGmaECLpZ0Xh9TSVVBPk8bmovS94UWUERbvPCRZaTELZSx2oZv8Zo7syRBElzXAlsDkJpJ6yNZntkK0l3oaa99OUX8zkePH6iNFRbXgjcaABy5o52TdwDo6g2QvJuCkuFEsVny3RbN1F0GsyLzlxu-VSIGoKk81M2gpCIM02zQlbFz~2~QxZlu0Pc~212HChmUg3K9ytGsKmzFm9qdKY07nZQV3KlT3uF9a2wUyvaMf6FYn4Vek3m0k1r5sU7H1xw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","At its Sept. 23 meeting the Bloomington Board of Public Works approved a consent agenda and a series of operational measures.
