The Vanderburgh County Board of Commissioners approved a series of infrastructure and procurement items during its Aug. 13 meeting.
Among the actions, the board approved an engineering agreement with Lochmuller Group Inc. for design work not to exceed $143,170 to replace a culvert on Radio Avenue; the item will be funded by American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) dollars. Commissioners also approved an amendment with Wesler Engineering Inc. to continue MS4 stormwater program implementation and help the county comply with IDEM stormwater regulations, increasing that contract by $25,000 and funded from riverboat revenues.
Other approvals included a $3,900 change order on the PinePlace pipe replacement contract, renewal of a SIP trunk services agreement with Spectrum estimated to save $12,348 over the contract term, a one-year extension for bulk fuel delivery with Syn Energy Partners LLC, and acceptance of a single sale bid of $741 for a Coring Road parcel. Staff reported a single quote from C Tech Corp., Inc. for guardrail repairs ($19,000); commissioners took that quote under advisement.
On the consent agenda, commissioners approved routine items and closed the formal business portion of the meeting.
What happened next: the commission adjourned its regular session and the Vanderburgh County Drainage Board convened; that board approved a Mill Road storage drainage plan, a drainage encroachment agreement for 3524 Canyon Drive, and retroactively approved 19 ditch claims totaling $86,962.20.
