Todd Robertson, with Transportation and Services, said the cleaning agreement is a short‑term contract “between us being the street maintenance department and animal control, to enter into a cleaning agreement for those facilities with the Evansville Vanderburgh County Building Authority.” He said the contract covers cleaning from the coming Monday through the end of the year and is for $7,097.50 for both facilities.

Robertson described the work as an initial deep clean followed by weekly maintenance. “I think it starts out with 2 staff workers who do a deep clean for a period of 8 hours, at the beginning,” he said. “And afterwards… 1 staff worker, cleaning street maintenance facility 8 hours, 1 day a week. And then in animal control, it will start out with 1 staff worker spends 2 8 hour days for deep cleaning. And then afterwards, they spend 4 hours, once a week cleaning, the facility out at animal control.”

Robertson and a representative of the Vanderburgh County Building Authority said the cleaning will focus on restrooms and common areas, not regular workspaces. The board was told the agreement had been reviewed by legal and was approved by vote.

On a separate item, city computer services requested approval to contract with Kroll LLP for a technology consulting study. The board approved cost‑sharing between the city and county, with each jurisdiction paying $20,000. A staff member identified in the discussion described the engagement as “just a study to determine whether the city would engage in its, and we'll undertake to take over the technology services.” The motion to approve the study passed.

Engineering staff presented a series of final and adjustment change orders for recent construction contracts. The board approved a final, multi‑segment adjustment for project 20‑4002 with J H Rudolph (several change orders aggregated); the transcript includes a referenced final decrease amount but the wording was unclear in the record and is recorded here as not specified. The board approved a cleanup change order for the Division Street Extension and Westman Park entrance (project 23‑003) with Dye Brothers Lumber & Construction Company, Inc., showing a decrease of $3,034,464.75 and a new contract total of $962,988.54. The board also approved change order No. 13 for the Walnut Street project (project 41599), increasing the contract by $14,236.89 to a new total of $21,669,118.83; engineering staff said the Walnut Street additions included pedestrian push‑button pedestals and other pedestrian accommodations at Martin Luther King and Walnut.

The board approved a package of right‑of‑way permit recommendations (permit numbers listed in staff materials). Staff noted compliance conditions, required Board of Public Safety approval for lane restrictions or street closures, and reminded applicants to follow the city engineering utility cut repair requirements. Three permit applications listed in the staff report were marked as exceptions because the proposed work lies in county jurisdiction.

The board voted to advertise a public bid for project 25‑007. Staff said the advertisement dates are Sept. 19 and Sept. 26, 2025, with a bid opening set for Oct. 9, 2025.

Finally, the board approved the use of barricades, signage and road closures for multiple community events (including an outdoor movie night, multiple races and school events, a band competition and the Evansville Rescue Mission’s charity run). The Hadi Shrine’s request included a road‑closure element; staff confirmed the shrine provided insurance and a waiver and the board approved the closure as part of the package.

Ending: Board members repeated that legal and safety reviews had been completed where required and closed the consent actions with unanimous votes.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Board of Public Works","oneSentenceSummary","The City of Evansville board approved a late‑year cleaning agreement for two municipal facilities, a city‑county technology consulting study with Kroll LLP and several engineering change orders, and cleared event and permitting items on the consent calendar.","taxTitle","Evansville City, Vanderburgh County, Indiana","taxId",12506,"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},6465588,"Third Street engineering paused; construction window moved amid capital constraints",24,1093940,1118850,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5876901-59628090d5b5c7111014437763e5f3c3&start=1093&end=1118","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5876901-59628090d5b5c7111014437763e5f3c3/thumbnail_1093940.jpg","/articles/6465588/Evansville-City/Vanderburgh-County/Indiana/Third-Street-engineering-paused-construction-window-moved-amid-capital-constraints","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6465588-daa859233fb8b63c897c8893a5216428/orig.mp4?Expires=1771198865&Signature=ZTNOdBiJOQaYAqX~5SASkpLMfepOH18TeMh5x4n595cRJ8LGbMLIxJwvVp~uvDyj7vvPDdGyJQdsU0v~ZenbkxpE2VZiQqrXiVCFFX4XUteMKq-NK5jVo8e5X0La5WKFOKJoXQr9Ga8BQUqW8rIuOkWZbi9EBebHyVvjPz5El5GtI46AS8-vCDwp5KSlBw5oSJoSBgN2gypx37fowIkoF5hcMpz0DLCw9B6qESOMUcKru5arOb1q3U6a-Ze9Da9TO5eTG2PaQ0mR3MBGzejw3wzfOSU0KS2WbPkm4DXU4iogbsG8hG7-te5qdTcaLwhX7B8NyDheIl8a4U1oNd-g3g__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","City engineering staff briefed the board on the status of the Third Street local public‑agency project and said final engineering will be deferred because of constrained capital funding.

Mr. Lubitzky, city engineering staff, said preliminary engineering work had begun on Third Street but that, given the squeeze on available capital funding, the city has chosen to defer final engineering and move the construction schedule. “As part of next year's effort, it was to include the final engineering and design, and then we would move into environmental and right of way acquisition. As it stands with the proposed budget and the kind of the squeeze on the available capital funding, we've chose to defer this project, a year out and not proceed with final engineering next year,” Lubitzky said.

He told the board he had asked the consultant to reach a solid milestone and leave clear notes so work can resume more easily when funding is available. Staff said they plan to move Third Street from construction year 2030 to construction year 2032 in the MPO schedule and that the Virginia Street project previously scheduled for 2032 would be pushed further out.

Ending: Staff characterized the update as informational; no formal board action was taken on the schedule change at this meeting.","City engineering staff told the board that final engineering for the Third Street project will be deferred one year because of constrained capital funding.

Mr. Lubitzky, city engineering staff, told the board that the two inquiries relate to the placement or use of material in the public right of way and that “we typically don't allow product to be placed in the right of way, as it may obstruct or add sight distance issues or other issues that would be important to the traveling public.”

Property owner Dave Condi of 5935 Cozy Caroline Road said he owns both properties at issue and described changes since he purchased one parcel 12 years ago. “When we purchased that property 12 years ago, we had it rezoned. We purchased it, it was gravel all the way out to New York Avenue,” Condi said. He asked whether tenants could continue to park in a gravel area that staff identified as within the right of way.

Board members and staff discussed whether angle parking would be feasible on gravel, past approvals for angle parking on a nearby parcel, and safety concerns about backing into a travel lane. Staff said they would inspect the site and bring the matter back to the board at the next regular meeting in two weeks. A motion to defer passed by voice vote.

Ending: The board directed staff to review the site with the property owner and engineering staff and to return with recommendations at the next meeting.","The City of Evansville deferred action for two right‑of‑way permit inquiries (permit nos. 2339 and 2340) after a property owner described current uses of gravel areas in front of leased parcels and staff cited safety and uniform enforcement concerns. The board will revisit the issue in two weeks for an on‑site review.","actionData","errors"]
