# Board of Public Works 11 4 26 Meeting Recording

The City of Elkhart Board of Public Works meeting on November 5, 2026, considered several infrastructure and purchasing matters. For Municipal Building ADA Improvement Project No. 26-20, the board opened quotes from Premium Services and DJ Construction Company; DJ’s quote was $82,825, while the other amount is unclear in the transcript and no award is clearly recorded. The board also approved a $42,240 contract with HRP Construction for Lift Station No. 32 repairs, accepting the sole quote received through an informal process. It authorized up to $25,000 in equipment rentals from United Rentals under Sourcewell contract 040924-RI, primarily for excavation safety equipment. A separate action authorized the Public Works director to contract with Mason Engineering and Construction for $94,879 to remove a cover related to digester No. 3, following an earlier unsuccessful quote process.

The board authorized staff to begin bidding North Main Street resurfacing from Jackson Boulevard through Beardsley Street after the city received a Community Crossings matching grant; the appropriation was still pending, and the contract was to be awarded by the end of January. It also approved payment requests totaling $1,385,624 to Robert’s Environmental Services LLC for remediation at 1101 East Beardsley Avenue, funded through SRF loan WW221-620005. The claims docket was approved at approximately $6.6 million (the exact total is garbled in the transcript), including a $428,123.63 claim to National Construction Enterprises for Fire Station 6. Other actions included approving temporary names and 24-hour parking limits for two public lots, and reducing JBS Prepared Foods’ recommended wastewater-related penalty from $8,000 to $6,000.
