The New Albany Sewer Board convened on Thursday, October 8, 2026, at New Albany City Hall. The board unanimously approved a series of engineering contracts for the ongoing campus modernization project, along with routine approvals of minutes and vendor claims. Discussions included the city's budget timeline, the financial health of the utility, and a sewer easement for a major development.
Everything good? Yes. Okay. Thanks. Yeah. Okay. Okay, we're on. I'd like to call a sewer board meeting to work when we begin with a pledge. A pledge of the United States of America. Morning, everybody. Morning. I'd like to be in the meeting with the approval of the corrections of the minutes from September 24th. I'll segment that. Okay, we have a motion to second. Any questions? Not all of them. Say aye. Aye. Alright. Okay, those minutes have been approved. Next we'll move down to bids and contracts. Yeah, good morning. Morning. I think you have in front of you four contracts related to three of them very quickly related to the BOT from the campus modernization product, and then one for overall management and assistance for all of our DOTs or all of the law products that we have. First one you have, I'll kind of go chronological words, okay? Is uh the Clark Meets master agreement. Uh that is set up as a not to exceed contract and will be directed and done through task orders. So as we're doing various projects or meet various things done related to the bond projects and the DOTs and those kind of things, we will work with park deeds through task orders. So we'll say, hey, we need ABC. They'll supply us a task order with the cost and an estimate for that, and then we'll approve task order. So we're just not doing a blanket thing. We're gonna we're gonna operate under task orders on those things. But it's uh that's that's the first one, and they're gonna assist obviously we can use them for a while on all of our projects they know our second anybody when it comes to our engineering uh for the plant and super, so it just makes sense to make sure that they're on our team as we're doing these projects and they'll this will assist that. The uh second one is Tower Pinkster. Tower Pinksters uh already started working actually uh for us and they're helping right now on the campus modernization project. Uh they have met with April's office in April. They met with Mike and his office and staff and Chris, and we walked aside a few times. So they are helping preliminarily just do some basically scoping stuff and sizing of buildings, offices, and various things. So it's it's not as big as contract as it probably will be later when we fully get into the full bottom of architectural stuff, but it's more of just getting the footprint right and everything else. Um that was a not to exceed 27,000. Uh Clark's easy kind of followers of part deeds uh is foresight land and SME G or DO. I think uh Clark Deeds is uh asked foresight to assist in some surveying and topographical uh assistance to get all of that done. We're we're putting everybody under you know a faster or quicker time frame, so we're trying to just make sure the project's moving. They're gonna supply it in, help them out, give us that topos and that uh survey information on everything. And then that's a not to exceed 23,600.
