Board of Public Works and Safety Meeting 07/22/2026

The City of Westfield Board of Public Works and Safety held a meeting on July 22, 2026, where several procurement and contract-related items were discussed and approved. Key actions included approval of utility easement agreements with Citizens Energy Group and Citizens of Westfield for water and sanitary lines related to fire station projects, and granting signing authority for a utility easement on city property to support a Citizens Energy Group project. The board also approved a contract extension with StreetScan for roadway condition assessments at a cost of $60,380, which supports asset management planning. Additionally, signing authority was granted for the Horton Road Reconstruction project, with bids already opened and a low bidder selected. An owner's change order for Station 85 was also approved, funded outside of bond capacity. Updates on ongoing infrastructure projects such as the Monon Tunnel and 191st Street widening were provided. Public safety reports highlighted increased call volumes and enforcement activities but did not involve procurement decisions. Motions to approve contracts and easements were unanimously passed, with some approvals subject to legal review.
