Bloomington Board of Public Works, October 6, 2026

The City of Bloomington Board of Public Works met on October 6, 2026. The consent agenda included a contract renewal with Ivy Tech for CDL training, an engineering services agreement with Rendle Ernsberger Associates Inc., and Amendment No. 2 to Crossroad Engineers PC’s preliminary engineering contract for Hopewell South. The transcript does not capture a motion or vote disposing of the consent agenda. The Board approved August Mack Environmental’s temporary right-of-way closure request for environmental monitoring-well removal and sidewalk repairs. It also considered Duke Energy’s planned closure on Grimes Lane to relocate power ahead of intersection improvements expected in 2027; no motion or vote on that request is captured. The Board approved claims totaling $1,220,488.95.

In staff reports, the City noted a $21,250 settlement agreement with Beacon Builders resolving two engineering notices of violation related to the Kinser Ridge development; the agreement was being executed. The Board voted to uphold notices of violation against Wells and Wells and CGR Services LLC. A motion to limit oral public comment on each agenda item to five minutes per speaker was raised, but the transcript does not record its disposition. Public comments also raised concerns about the condition of North Washington Street; staff said there was no city-funded capital project planned for that area at the time.
