Storm Water Advisory Board 7.13.26

The City of Lawrence, Indiana Stormwater Advisory Board held a special meeting on July 13, 2026, focusing primarily on procurement and contracting matters related to stormwater management. The board approved the ESRI Cloud Point Managed Services Agreement, a GIS system management contract valued at $27,800, split among water, sanitary, and stormwater departments. This contract covers support services and system implementation through December 31, 2026, with plans for renewal in 2027. The vendor was selected after evaluating two providers, with Cloud Point offering better service at a lower cost. Additionally, the board approved a $59,300 task order with United Consulting under a previously approved master service agreement. This task order involves evaluating and cleaning the storm sewer system in the Clicks subdivision, coordinating with concurrent water and sanitary infrastructure projects funded partly by a 50/50 grant from the Indiana Department of Transportation. The improvements aim to address drainage issues and extend the neighborhood's infrastructure lifespan. Both contracts were approved following motions and votes, with discussions emphasizing cost-effectiveness, system upgrades, and integration with broader utility projects.
