Can I get a motion for approval of the July 16th, 2026 BPW minutes?

Motion to approve.

Second.

All in favor?

Aye.

Moving on to new business.

Our first item, the City of Evansville finance requests approval of the con approval of a contract with Lopardo Energy LLC consultant to provide municipal procurement consulting services aimed at strengthening purchasing operations, improving vendor management, increasing efficiency, reducing costs, and supporting long-term procurement strategy.

The total contract amount is not to exceed $294,750 annually.

And this is similar to what we discussed last week with some clarifications.

Good afternoon, Mr.

President, members of the board.

So there was clarification regarding the term of the agreement.

The administration thought it best not to do the full three years since 2027 is an election year, so we wanted to do the 18-month.

And then if by chance another administration were to come in, they can decide if they want to continue with that.

The next uh item, and it's kind of an exciting one.

Um, I had verbally stated that it was estimated around 300,000 annual savings based on um the contractor's um proposal.

And it's actually um they've estimated one million uh just over a million dollars worth of savings through various um forms of procurement, um, reverse auctioning uh consortium and then the RFQ.

And I did elaborate a little bit upon those different items um last time I was here, which I'm happy to go over again if needed.

Um or if not, if there's any questions, I'd be happy to answer.

Yeah, I appreciate that certainly gone over the additional information you provided.

Appreciate that.

Um that's great news.

Is there any questions from the board on this?

Do we need to resend our motion and vote from last week and redo this?

Or do we need to do there?

I think we can I think we can do that to be sure.

Just to be on the safe side.

Okay.

Okay.

Well, I'll start by rescinding my motion from last week to approve.

And I second that.

Second.

Okay.

All in favor?

Aye.

Aye.

Aye.

And then can I get a motion for the approval with the additional clarifications presented this week?

Motion to approve.

Second.

All in favor?

Aye.

Aye.

Thank you.

Thank you, Dr.

Next up, the City of Evansville Mets requests approval of change order number five for Mets, admin, and terminal renovation with Danko Construction Incorporated.

This is a $5,272 increase to the Mets Building and Terminal Renovation Project.

Changes include modification to doors at the terminal where carpet was installed, walkway striping recommended by the safety department, and lighting in the locker rooms.

If approved to date, change orders have increased the project $30,091 and 15 cents or 4.36 percent over the original $688,700 budget.

Metz found this price to be reasonable.

Jonathan C.B.

King, Director.

Hi.

Have you ever renovated a 29,000 square foot house?

Because it's you come up with new issues each time, apparently.

So we have found we put new carpet into our lobby area at the Greyhound.

It was not designed for carpet, so when you open the doors, they just stay open.

So now you have to take the doors off, shave them down a little bit to get them to close.

Safety department stopped by and thinks it would be a good idea across our walkway at the Mets Admin building to include uh painted area, painted stripes for people to walk through.

So we're gonna do that.

Uh and then instead of putting two lights up in the bathrooms because of the way the mirrors are and the fixtures, they had to put one LED light across, so that made a little slight change on that.

The $30,000 to date, that is all of our change orders so far, and not just these little pickups here.

Understood.

Any questions from the board?

No.

No.

Motion to approve.

Second.

All in favor?

Aye.

Aye.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you, Drake.

If you're following along on the agenda, item C is being uh delayed to a future date of this board due to some unforeseen issues and further information that is being gathered.

Next up, the City of Evansville DMD requests approval of a contract with Hope of Evansville for a Phoenix Apartments Home Agreement Package.

Lisa Foster, Contracts Manager, tell us more about that.

So this is the second piece last week.

We used affordable housing trust fund funds to finance 250,000 towards the purchase price.

This is now using home funds to also help with that.

So it's kind of both things dovetail together.

Hope of Evansville expects to close on this at the end of the month.

And is there a dollar amount for this?

This one's 250,000.

So it's a total of 500,000 that we are investing in this.

Is this a rehab of the apartment complex?

It's a rehab.

Okay.

Yeah, it's a total rehab down to the studs.

Oh wow.

Yeah.

So it'll be.

Do you know how many units are in it?

Uh hang on.

Two units are very specifically.

It's a 40-unit total.

Two units then will always be designated as home floating units, which means you know, two units at any one time have to be with income restrictions for low to moderate income.

Okay.

So out of those.

So it could be a different two units, depending on if they have to do any work or whatever.

So at least two of those have to be that.

Any other questions from the board?

No.

Do I hear a motion for approval?

Motion to approve.

Second.

All in favor?

Aye.

Aye.

Thank you.
