Summary

The board ratified a $915,128 SRF partial payment for Oakland Project B and heard a project update that an underpass closure will continue through November, with an expected project completion this year.

The Elkhart City Board of Works ratified a partial payment request for $915,128 from an SRF loan for construction on the Oakland Project B (Oakland CSO tank division 1). The motion to ratify the payment was moved and seconded and approved by voice vote.

Staff provided a construction update on Oakland Project B, saying the portion in front of Church Community Services through Harrison is now open and an underpass will be closed for the next phase of work. "This project will be completed this year still," a project staff member (speaker 6) told the board, and staff described the official traffic pattern for the detour (Lusher to Napanee through the underpass) with secondary routes suggested depending on destinations. The board approved an additional smaller SRF payment ($22,285) to DLZ for Riverside tank project design during the same discussion.
