2026 November 03 Lafayette Board of Public Works and Safety

The Lafayette Board of Public Works and Safety met on November 3, 2026. The board received one landscape-maintenance bid from current provider BrightView, reported in the transcript as $9,752.43; members voted to take the bid under advisement rather than award it. The board approved a not-to-exceed $104,400 agreement with BLN USA for the Durkeys Run Ditch evaluation and release-rate study, including drainage and watershed analysis and assessment of culvert work. The study is intended to inform future stormwater improvements, potentially around 2028, and avoid shifting flood or capacity problems downstream.

The board also approved surplus declarations for unused police phones, two unsupported Lafayette Renew iPads, and a Fleet Department garbage truck and rear packer; Fleet plans to use the vehicles as trade-ins toward a new 2026 rear packer. Claims totaling $8,271,071.31 were approved. The board additionally approved a Miller Elementary parade street-closure request; no related procurement was discussed.
