The City of Fishers is moving forward with the professional services needed in preparing for the major upgrade coming to the State Road 37 corridor.  The Fishers City Board of Public Works and Safety approved supplemental agreements for professional services tied to the State Road 37 project Monday.  The additional services are for right-of-way and environmental work.  This is partly due to a change in the drainage system for the remodeled highway.  Originally, water drainage was to be routed along 141st Street, but that had to be changed for technical reasons and will now be routed along 146th Street.  City Engineering Department Director Jeff Hill told the board the State Road 37 project requires coordination with a number of moving parts, but the major work is still scheduled to be bid in 2018.

The board also cleared the way for inspection services needed to move forward with intersection improvements along Allisonville Road at 131st and 126th Streets.  Those projects are expected to be bid and constructed in 2018.

When the mold remediation project was completed at Fishers Fire Station 92 (at Brooks School Road and 116th Street), technicians found issues with the heating and air conditioning system that needed repair, and the board approved $85,000 to complete that work.

The board approved a new contract to provide computer software for the city’s inspection operation.  The current vendor has announced the software now used by the city will no longer be supported.  The changeover is expected to complete by late April, 2018.
