Elkhart County Live Meeting

The Elkhart County Board of Commissioners held a public meeting on April 27, 2026, addressing several procurement and contract matters. Key procurement activities included the receipt and opening of bids for the 2026 deck sealing program and the 2026 chip and seal road maintenance projects, with bids ranging from approximately $215,000 to over $1.2 million. The board authorized staff to review bids and return with recommendations. They also approved the award of the 2026 pavement parking program contract to Hughes Milling (Air Marking Company) and approved a fourth amendment to the in-custody medical services agreement with Wellpath LLC, including a 3% price increase. Additionally, the board approved a special purchase resolution for four 2026 GMC vehicles under a government fleet discount program. Other procurement-related approvals included out-of-state travel for training and conferences for court and sheriff’s office personnel. The meeting also covered stormwater fee adjustments and discussed ongoing stormwater management challenges. Public comments focused on local zoning and community concerns but did not involve procurement. Motions related to claims approval, contract awards, and special purchases were unanimously passed.
