Board approves $445,588.80 contract with American StructurePoint for Tillotson Avenue engineering
Summary
The board approved a local government agreement with INDOT and American StructurePoint for construction engineering and inspection on Tillotson Avenue, with the contract amount stated as $445,588.80 and potential funding via local roads and an MPO 80/20 match depending on final project costs.
The Board of Public Works and Safety approved a consultant contract April 15 authorizing American StructurePoint to provide construction engineering and third-party inspection services for the Tillotson Avenue paving project.
Staff explained the agreement is a standard INDOT form required for Federal Highway Administration projects and that INDOT has signed off on the selected firm. The amount presented to the board was $445,588.80. Officials said this work is needed to meet FHWA inspection requirements and to allow Tillotson Avenue to be paved, likely in late summer.
Funding for the contract was described as coming primarily from local roads and streets allocations; officials said an 80/20 MPO match might apply depending on final project costs and availability of MPO funds. The board approved the contract by voice vote.
Why it matters: approving the engineering and inspection contract clears a key administrative step required for the Tillotson Avenue paving to proceed and commits the city to the consultant expense pending final project accounting. The transcript did not include a roll-call breakdown of votes.
