Board approves multiple engineering amendments, bid awards and final acceptances totaling millions
Summary
The Board of Public Works approved numerous contract awards, change orders and amendments across engineering, stormwater and transportation programs — including a $2.05 million small‑structure contract, a $4.5 million amendment to an on‑call stormwater agreement, and several final acceptances totaling over $7 million.
The Indianapolis Board of Public Works approved a series of contract awards, change orders and professional‑services amendments covering small‑structure replacements, stormwater program management and on‑call engineering services.
Jason Watt, DPW construction administrator, recommended awarding CL‑23‑061 (small structure replacement at Lyndhurst Drive and Tibbs Avenue) to William Charles Construction LLC for a not‑to‑exceed $2,050,040; the board approved the award after staff noted the bid was approximately 14.3% below the engineer's estimate. Watt also presented Change Order No. 4 for SD‑19‑073 (AJ Brown, 30th Keystone Drainage Improvements) adding $14,966.96 for quantity adjustments, bringing the current total to $6,042,549.21.
Natalie Stevens, program manager for stormwater, outlined several professional services amendments. The Board approved Amendment No. 4 to ENG‑21,008 with Resolution Group Inc., increasing the not‑to‑exceed amount by $100,000 to $1,000,000 and extending the agreement to Dec. 31, 2027. The board also approved Amendment No. 2 to SY23005 with American StructurePoint Inc., increasing the not‑to‑exceed amount by $4,500,000 to a total of $14,100,000 for stormwater program management through 2026; Stevens said the value covers multi‑year technical services while DPW continues to recruit open staff positions.
Chief Engineer Mark St. John presented multiple on‑call contract extensions and rate updates for geotechnical and transportation design services (CTL Engineering, First Group Engineering, Hansen Professional Services, HNTB) and the board approved those amendments. Brian Kavanaugh recommended ratifying an amendment to the underground utility‑locating services agreement with Samco (new rates of roughly $0.75 per location), which the board also approved.
The board granted final acceptances to several completed construction contracts, including CL‑16‑069 with Edge Construction LLC ($444,050.83), CL‑12‑045 with Yarberry Companies Inc. ($1,097,300.81), and ST‑23‑078 Sector 2 residential street reconstruction with Calumet Civil Contractors Inc. ($6,439,478.65).
All motions for awards, change orders, amendments and final acceptances were made and approved by voice vote. The meeting concluded after the walk‑ons and contract awards were approved.
