Sanitary district approves $4.86 million Bowen Engineering amendment, additional engineering task order and personnel policy change
Summary
At its June 24 meeting the Muncie Sanitary District approved Amendment No. 2 to a guaranteed energy savings contract with Bowen Engineering for $4,860,188, authorized a task order to T.Y. Lin for engineering work tied to CSO compliance, and enacted Resolution 2026-03 to remove a medication review provision from the personnel handbook to align with federal motor carrier rules.
The Muncie Sanitary District on June 24 approved several new-business items, including a multimillion-dollar contract amendment, an engineering task order and a personnel policy revision.
The board approved Amendment No. 2 to the district’s guaranteed energy savings (GMAX) contract with Bowen Engineering, which adds work related to a wet-weather pump/lift station and includes a listed total of $4,860,188 for that phase. The chair presented the document, commissioners moved and seconded, and the board voted in favor with no opposition recorded.
The board also approved Task Order No. 3 under the professional services contract with engineering firm T.Y. Lin to provide engineering support at the water pollution control facility in connection with the district’s combined sewer overflow (CSO) agreement with IDEM. The chair noted that the task order does not change the previously approved $3.4 million overall project scope; commissioners approved the task order after a motion and second.
Separately, the board enacted Resolution 2026-03 to remove a medication review requirement from the personnel policy handbook. The chair and legal staff said the change brings the handbook into compliance with the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Act and applicable DOT guidance for CDL and safety-sensitive positions and addresses HIPAA concerns around medical-status review by district staff. Commissioners discussed the update briefly, thanked legal staff for the revisions, and approved the resolution.
Each item was taken as a motion, seconded and approved with no recorded opposition during the meeting.
The district did not discuss detailed funding sources or project timelines on the record for these approvals; staff indicated documents were available for review in the meeting packet.
