City Controller Craig Wright presented the claims; the board moved and seconded approval and carried the motion by voice vote. The minutes from the March 26 meeting were also approved by motion and voice vote.

The board approved a temporary residential parking request from Barbara and Cecil Bohannon for a neighborhood gathering near Ball State University. The applicants said they file this form for small get-togethers when the street is posted no parking; the board signed the request after the vote.

Minnetrista events manager Kirsten Novotny requested three street closures for annual events: Fairy Sprites and Lights (summer event), Boulevard Bash (October), and the Enchanted Luminaria Walk (December). Novotny identified each event and the board approved all three closures by separate motions and voice votes; staff said signed documents will be provided after the meeting.

Why it matters: the claims approval disburses city funds; the parking and event closures clear the way for community events and neighborhood accommodations.

All motions were moved and seconded on the record and carried without further roll-call detail recorded in the transcript. One board member, Ted Baker, was listed absent at roll call.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Muncie City Board of Works Meeting April 2nd 2025","oneSentenceSummary","At its April 2 meeting the Board approved the March 26 minutes, a register of city claims totaling $1,899,994, a temporary parking request for residents near Ball State, and three street closures for Minnetrista events.","taxTitle","Muncie City, Delaware County, Indiana","taxId",4306,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6031994,"Muncie awards three-year asbestos inspection contract to Air Management Techniques",81,425000,506000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5461940-4ec3ab06cf3cf8396245bf39a64b3d36&start=425&end=506","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5461940-4ec3ab06cf3cf8396245bf39a64b3d36/thumbnail_425000.jpg","/articles/6031994/Muncie-City/Delaware-County/Indiana/Muncie-awards-three-year-asbestos-inspection-contract-to-Air-Management-Techniques","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6031994-651383cd5fb3f14a4a0a6e323fdec434/orig.mp4?Expires=1771153784&Signature=WrVMRykwgKi6KqPSsmsjieTkAQRkvEnDmnCryukr-sLPoPLawW063MZWYCxwbjXgnm9GiC0jZ-unGUo4SYjkGzCqKdudyl33QWncMPCOio-CNt0cOjK18J3fWHNPj2uxAMqiqmuxN4OwKwdTN5LDk3MF6JMbkO4tzskiAStsCPmPUN81fWSaunMOpZ4gVGYTkwRyBnxP-d7UYI6ydbXSGGkCUV87XIL0Es~QkOekpv26kLbdw-mCsXHST8XftCzl0HakhXWMb2NmTwlSNHBb1~h5kkaZ48D6vO8LhdUBhZwdrXnrBNvhqXCTNSGJl4cvaba~yVDBi7U41zCi4Mb3Qw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Muncie Board of Public Works and Safety on April 2 approved a three-year contract, with an option to continue, for asbestos inspection services for the Building Commissioner’s office, selecting Air Management Techniques as the low bidder.

Courtney of the Building Commissioner’s office presented the procurement and told the board the city received three quotes: Airco at $2,500 per property, Heartland at $700 per property, and Air Management Techniques at $625 per property. Courtney said the lower bid from Air Management Techniques met the city’s requirements and recommended awarding the contract to that firm for demolition‑related inspections.

Board member Linda moved approval; a colleague seconded. The board approved the three‑year contract by voice vote; one member (Ted Baker) was absent at roll call.

Why it matters: the Building Commissioner’s office needs an asbestos inspector to proceed with demolition work during the year; the contract establishes per-property inspection pricing and ensures the city can meet regulatory requirements before demolition.

Officials said the chosen firm is located at 2650 West Kilgore Avenue and that the contract is the lowest responsive bid. The board requested that the signed contract be provided to staff for finalization after the meeting.","The Board approved a three-year contract for asbestos inspection services, selecting Air Management Techniques after receiving three bids; the unit price and contract term were discussed on the record.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6031999,"Muncie board approves one-year professional services contract with WSP USA",79,337000,416000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5461940-4ec3ab06cf3cf8396245bf39a64b3d36&start=337&end=416","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5461940-4ec3ab06cf3cf8396245bf39a64b3d36/thumbnail_337000.jpg","/articles/6031999/Muncie-City/Delaware-County/Indiana/Muncie-board-approves-one-year-professional-services-contract-with-WSP-USA","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6031999-8589091f407247f3c02cd85b44fc5b9f/orig.mp4?Expires=1771153784&Signature=BFGeV-OeWTrUEUhix5rfKrXaFZRaxTqS~AjeIjhQA1O~TiH8FPadh2qapOEsFsHvWEDrhRgGKj2Qc42q5ffEA7~SoldLa0~18yiilmjY0cQyjDu-E9R6m1c~4zhiEpCL1DnwRHBFFXme06Wpjbqppa03q6TdCKux8LEL227zMV0KGwFigWid17qFEZxIW2FkO5qTJYovNVZ8KnxCS3RA3oPPDD16uWTRLZILF-8fuahEN4M~B56jJ8TMQkXFHYyOCr5rdeN5CUUUVI14fgf35Bv6dMSMRGAbHIHP3Z040uCHk6WLurxoqQk0O0igqaLP9y1lMVakm4yQth~vHMZthw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Muncie Board of Public Works and Safety on April 2 approved a one-year professional services contract with WSP USA to provide engineering services to the city.

The contract was presented during the board’s new-business agenda item and discussed briefly by Mayor Dan Ridenour, who described the firm as “the nation’s largest civil engineering firm.” No additional contract terms or dollar amounts were discussed at the meeting; legal review of the agreement was noted by staff.

Why it matters: the contract covers engineering support used by the city engineer and other engineering needs; the board said the agreement will extend for the next year and recommended having legal review the document.

Board members voted to approve the contract by voice vote; one member (Ted Baker) was marked absent at roll call. The motion was moved and seconded on the record and carried without further comment.

Mayor Dan Ridenour introduced the item and said the contract will supply engineering services to the city. The board had no substantive questions and approved the contract as presented.

The city will complete ministerial steps to finalize signatures after the meeting.","The Muncie Board of Public Works and Safety voted April 2 to approve a professional services contract with WSP USA to provide engineering services to the city for the coming year.","actionData","errors"]
