Board authorizes INDOT change order, approves phone systems and playground contract; accepts code-enforcement cleanup plan
Summary
The Board of Works authorized an INDOT change order for the Five Points project, approved phone-system quotes for police and fire, authorized a Midstates Recreation proposal for the Alloway playground project, and accepted a code-enforcement recommendation for cleanup at 809 Edwards.
The Decatur City Board of Works approved several procurement and enforcement items during a routine meeting, including authorization to sign an INDOT change order for the Five Points improvement project, acceptance of two phone-system quotes for police and fire, authorization to sign a playground proposal from Midstates Recreation for the Alloway project, and acceptance of a code-enforcement cleanup recommendation for 809 Edwards.
Public works staff described the INDOT item as a quantity adjustment to the Five Points improvement project and asked the board to authorize signing the change order; the board voted to authorize the signature. Staff also presented two phone-system quotes; the city’s current vendor was recommended as lower-cost and already in use at city hall and the street garage, and the board approved purchasing the systems for the police and fire departments.
On the Alloway park project near Sherwin Williams, staff reviewed a previously discussed proposal from Midstates Recreation and requested authorization to sign the proposal to move forward with purchasing a play station and site amenities. The transcript records the city portion in a garbled figure shown as “$9,6557.” Staff said some funding would come from Rotary and leftover facade-program funds; the board moved to authorize signing the proposal. Because the dollar figure is unclear in the transcript, the precise city share is listed as not verified in this report.
Code enforcement presented photos and details for 809 Edwards showing exterior debris and barrels. The property owner indicated willingness to cooperate; staff and the board discussed a cleanup timeline with dates mentioned around the 5th–6th and by the 21st. The board accepted the code-enforcement recommendation and authorized staff to work with the owner.
The board approved these routine procurement and enforcement actions and moved to the next agenda item.
