Without comment, the Fishers Board of Works and Safety approved a contract with Express Employment Professionals for the partial Special Census this year.  According to the board action form, Express was the lowest and most responsive bidder.

Based on Census Bureau and contractor estimates, the maximum cost would be $57,571.65 for the staffing agency and $243,286.65 total for payroll.  The city council appropriated $450,000 to pay for the census.

The city is conducting the special census to receive more state and federal funding that is based on population.  This will be a partial census, concentrating on areas of the city that have grown since the last official census in 2010.
