# Porter County Government - Storm Water Management Board - October, 6th 2026

The Porter County Storm Water Management Board meeting, identified in the transcript as October 6, 2026 (the metadata timestamp is October 14), approved prior meeting minutes and claims (claim number R23775). The board considered an amendment to project 2636’s construction observation and administration contract with Christopher B. Burke Engineering LLC. The amendment adjusts the price and extends the contract term to provide full-time observation during critical work periods. The original contract was $98,000; discussion indicated the amendment would put the increase about $400 over the 20% threshold. The motion carried, although the transcript does not clearly state the amended total contract value.

Staff also reported progress on a drainage improvement project, including installation of a 24-inch storm sewer and ongoing grading. A substantial change order is expected due to an unknown pipe and other changed site conditions; crane-mat costs were initially estimated at about $70,000 but are expected to be lower. No change order approval was reported. Staff said field work was reported complete and that final inspection, survey review, and review of sewer-televising footage were underway before final completion.
