Board approves contract amendments, labor‑standards and a water‑loss audit contract
Summary
The Board of Works approved an amendment to a task order with Fliesen Vandenbrink that netted a $9,300 increase, approved a $31,200 labor-standards administration contract and a $5,500 semiannual water-loss audit contract.
Neil presented several professional-service requests during the Feb. 24 Board of Works meeting and the board approved each by voice vote. The board approved an amendment to Task Order No. 1 with Fliesen Vandenbrink that added easement scope work for a transmission main project ($99,200), reduced design fees (a reduction cited as $107,900) and added $18,000 for a written asset management plan required by an IURC rate case order. Neil said the net increase to the task order was $9,300.
The board also approved a labor standards administration contract with MD Grant Services LLC for $31,200 to provide Davis‑Bacon and related compliance services for SRF-funded construction. Finally, the board approved a professional services agreement with Fliesen Vandenbrink to complete the semiannual water-loss audit required by the Indiana Finance Authority for $5,500.
Why it matters: These approvals advance compliance, planning and reporting requirements tied to capital projects and state/regulatory obligations. The Fliesen Vandenbrink amendment includes an asset management deliverable tied to a rate case order, which could affect future rate proceedings. Next steps: staff will execute the contracts and incorporate the work into project schedules and regulatory filings.
