Utility Service Board: September 24, 2024

The City of Lawrence Indiana Utility Service Board meeting on September 24, 2024, focused on several key procurement and contracting activities related to water and sewer infrastructure projects. The board discussed the allocation of a $400,000 grant from the Indiana Finance Authority to complete a lead service line inventory in compliance with EPA regulations, with contracts awarded to Kexo and Wesler Engineering. Due to funding shortfalls for material confirmations, the board considered a task order amendment with Wesler Engineering to complete the project. Additionally, the board reviewed and approved certificates of completion for the Silver Stream Section Three water and sewer mains, accepted a $149,000 quote from Milestone Contracting for water main relocation work related to an INDOT project, and approved task order amendments for construction administration and resident project representative inspections. The meeting also included approval of contractor affidavits, inspector certificates, and sanitary sewer account adjustments, demonstrating active management of infrastructure projects and associated contracts.
