Utility Service Board: October 8, 2024

The City of Lawrence Indiana Utility Service Board convened on October 8, 2024, primarily to approve minutes, claims, and service agreements related to utility infrastructure projects. A significant portion of the meeting focused on the approval of an addendum to a service agreement with Curly Construction LLC for emergency sanitary sewer force main repairs at 12451 Pendleton Pike. The project experienced delays due to CSX's slow approval process and staffing shortages, which increased the repair costs from an original quote of $24,885 to a total of $250,500. Additionally, the board approved a general construction observation agreement with KG Fort LLC for inspection services at 5611 Lawrence Village Parkway, with an estimated fee of $750. The meeting also addressed procedural matters such as document signing and printing issues but concluded with no account adjustments or rate disputes.
