Public Comment – There were no public comments. Report of the Chair– Justin Kiel
Justin Kiel had no updates to report.
Report of the Executive Director– Ty Warner
Ty Warner thanked the Commissioners who attended the Finance and Personnel (F&P) Committee meeting that was held prior to this meeting and appreciated the discussions regarding NIRPC’s financial future situation and how to strategize and be more efficient in the challenges being faced. Ty also noted INDOT will be presenting on electric vehicle charging stations later in the meeting.
Finance & Personnel Committee (F&P) – Thomas Dermody
Thomas Dermody reiterated the engaging conversations at the F&P meeting this morning, adding they want to spend more time ensuring members understand NIRPC’s F&P Committee as well as how to move forward with hiring quality staff. The financial reports, bank reconciliations, and claims registers for April 2022 were also reviewed.
Resolution #22-14: A Resolution of the Northwestern Indiana Regional Planning Commission for Year-End Reporting for Indiana State Board of Accounts (SBOA). Talaya Jones stated that in the past, the finance department provided financial statements to the SBOA under Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) reporting, which is typically financial data for investors looking to invest in certain companies. This reporting is costly, entails of a lot of staff time, and it is not needed for our agency. Since GAAP reporting is not a requirement of the SBOA for NIRPC’s audits, the finance department is seeking approval to revert to the regulatory reporting, which is mandated by the SBOA. On motion by Richard Hardaway and seconded by Wendy Mis, the Executive Board approved Resolution #22-14.
Mr. Dermody noted the F&P Committee also approved an addendum to the LaPorte County Revolving Loan Fund Management Plan.
Technical Planning Committee (TPC) - Kevin Breitzke
Kevin Breitzke reported the TPC met on May 3, 2022 and heard a presentation on NIRPC’s Regional Climate Action plan framework. The next TPC meeting will be held on July 5 at 10:00 a.m. The TPC brought the action item below to the Executive Board for consideration and adoption.
Resolution #22-13: 2023-2024 Unified Planning Work Program (UPWP). Thomas Dow stated the UPWP is adopted every two years. It is anticipated that a portion of the local funds will be allocated to some of the local partners on transportation related planning activities due to funds remaining from prior years. With the comments received recently from INDOT and federal agencies, this resolution is requesting the adoption to include the language “the UPWP document will be adopted to include any changes that may be required by funding agencies”. On motion by Greg Stinson and seconded by Thomas Dermody, the Executive Board adopted Resolution #22-13. The amended document will be presented at the Full Commission meeting on July 21.
Economic Development District Report – Denarie Kane
Denarie Kane stated applications for the Recover NWI loan program are encouraged to be submitted through the end of June because the program ends in July this year. Contact Denarie for additional information.
The Economic Recovery and Resiliency plan initiative is advancing. A draft plan is expected the end of May, all round table discussions with stakeholders are complete, and the steering committee will have their final meeting on June 20. The final plan will be presented to the Full Commission on July 21.
INDOT – Matt Deitchley
Matt Deitchley noted the preliminary work that is being done on I-94 West between Illinois to Cline Avenue. Matt addressed the long grass on the state highway right-of-way and stated it was due to the amount of rainfall received this year. There is only funding allocated to mow three times a year, but sight line issues will be addressed as needed. Contact Matt if you would like to discuss further.
Matt discussed INDOT’s Bike Helmet program. Representatives from INDOT are visiting schools to discuss bike safety and delivering helmets for children in kindergarten through second grade. Schools can apply to have INDOT come to the school or schedule helmets to be dropped off. To sign up, visit bikesafeindiana.com.
Scott Manning, Deputy Chief of Staff with INDOT, presented on the electric vehicle charging stations and provided an update on the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) program. The NEVI formula is federal funding that is allocated to each state through the FHWA funding formula and will be disbursed over the course of the five-year life of the bill, with Indiana receiving just under $100 million. The goal of the program is to add a half million chargers nationwide by 2030. Metropolitan planning areas are also eligible to apply for NEVI funding. An EV charging infrastructure must be located within 50 miles of each charging station, needs to be within one mile of the interstate, and include at least four (150 KW direct current) fast chargers at each station. Scott informed the commission that state NEVI plans are due by August 1, 2022. INDOT feels Indiana’s state approach will work with surrounding states. An in-person meeting is scheduled on June 2 from 3-5 p.m. ET in Plymouth Indiana. For
additional information, contact Scott Manning at smanning1@indot.in.gov. NIRPC will send INDOT’s slide presentation to the Commissioners after the meeting.
Ty Warner added that NIRPC partners with Drive Clean Indiana (formerly known as South Shore Clean Cities), who is also working closely with INDOT, and is on top of all Electric Vehicle (EV) initiatives in Indiana. If partnered with their Green Fleets program, they can also help you partner with all regional EV infrastructure programs.

RE: Bid Proposal for Environmental Assessment Hammond Fire Station #2
2211 Calumet Avenue
Whiting, Indiana 46394
SME Proposal No.: P00443.22 Dear Ms. Luther:
As requested, SME prepared this proposal to provide environmental assessment services to evaluate the potential environmental concerns associated with the Hammond Fire Station, located at 2211 Calumet Avenue, Whiting, Indiana (Property). SME appreciates the opportunity to be of service to you on this project. The Property, consists of approximately 0.5 acres of land developed with a single building used as a Fire Station (Hammond Fire Station #2). We understand a 600-gallon underground storage tank (UST) formerly containing gasoline and/or diesel fuel was registered at this Property. Although the UST was removed from the Property during January 1997, the analysis of soil samples collected at that time from the vicinity of the UST cavity indicated that a release of hydrocarbons had occurred. Subsequent remediation (soil excavation) activities reportedly addressed the contamination in accordance with the regulatory requirements in effect at that time. Those regulatory requirements; however, do not comply with the current standards enforced by the Indiana Department of Environmental Management (IDEM), Office of Land Quality.
Therefore, SME recommends additional assessment of the soil and groundwater quality in the vicinity of the former UST cavity to assess whether the current environmental conditions at the Property pose an unacceptable risk to human health and the environment.
To evaluate the above referenced environmental concerns, SME will collect soil and groundwater quality samples from soil borings and temporary monitoring wells installed at the Property. Three soil borings and temporary monitoring wells will be installed in the immediate vicinity of the former UST cavity to evaluate if the petroleum hydrocarbons reported during the UST removal activities are present at concentrations exceeding the current IDEM standards. Three additional soil borings and temporary monitoring wells will be installed at other locations on the Property to evaluate if current or past operations have adversely affected the soil and groundwater quality at the Property.
SME understands up to six (6) soil borings will be needed to assess the soil and groundwater quality at the Property. The soil borings will be advanced and soil samples collected continuously to the desired depth using a Geoprobe® drill rig equipped with 5-foot long, nominal 2-inch diameter Macro-core® samplers. The Macro-core® samplers will be equipped with new plastic internal liners prior to collection of each sample. Based on our previous experience in this area, SME anticipates to encounter groundwater between 6 and 10 feet (ft) below ground surface (bgs).
Soil samples from a minimum of each 2-foot interval will be collected, inspected and field screened for potential submittal to the laboratory for analysis. Each sample interval will be split into two aliquots with one aliquot retained for inspection and field screening (field aliquot) and the other to be retained for potential submittal for laboratory analysis (laboratory aliquot). The field aliquot will be placed into a re- sealable plastic bag, described using the Unified Soil Classification System (USCS) and inspected for physical evidence of contaminants such as staining, odors, free product, etc. Soil headspace will be monitored in the field using a PID.
The laboratory aliquot will be immediately transferred to laboratory supplied containers, labeled and placed in a cooler with ice for preservation following collection. Please note that samples retained for potential VOC analysis will be collected directly from the Macro core® sampler in accordance with US EPA Method 5035A (Indiana Modified).
The soil samples retained from each soil boring for laboratory analysis will include the surface interval and the subsurface interval exhibiting the greatest potential for being impaired (i.e., highest PID reading, staining, odors, etc.) based on field screening and/or field inspection.
TEMPORARY MONITORING WELL INSTALLATION
All six soil borings will be completed as temporary groundwater monitoring wells. The temporary wells will be constructed of one-inch diameter PVC riser with 5-ft of 0.01-inch factory slotted PVC screen. As feasible, a sand pack filter will be placed around the well screen and a minimum 2-ft thick bentonite seal will placed above the sand pack zone. The remainder of the borehole will be filled to approximately 2-ft bgs with bentonite. A final boring log and temporary monitoring well completion diagram will be prepared for each well. These documents will list the details of the drilling activity, the soil stratigraphy, the results of field screening of soils, and the well construction details.
If groundwater is encountered and conditions permit, i.e. enough water is produced, SME will collect a groundwater sample from each temporary monitoring well using a low flow/low stress sampling methodology. The groundwater samples will be collected in appropriate sample containers, labeled, placed in cooler and transported to an accredited laboratory using the appropriate chain-of-custody controls. Laboratory analyses will be performed on a normal two-week turn around basis. After the samples are collected, a licensed water-well driller will properly abandon the temporary wells.
The location of each soil boring will be recorded using a global positioning system, and the elevation of each temporary well point will be surveyed to allow for correlation of groundwater level data. The groundwater level data collected prior to sample collection will be utilized to determine the apparent groundwater flow direction beneath the Site.
Soil and groundwater samples will be placed in the appropriate laboratory containers, logged on a chain-of-custody, placed in a cooler with ice to maintain a temperature of approximately 4° Celsius, and
transported to the laboratory for analysis. The samples will be analyzed within the established holding times using US EPA-approved Methods as described in the EPA publication, Test Methods for Evaluation of Solid Wastes, Physical/Chemical Methods (SW-846, 3rd Edition, Update III). The laboratory QA/QC will be performed and submitted for review in accordance with the RCG, and in accordance with the full data package criteria.
Up to twelve soil samples (two per boring) will be analyzed for the following parameters:
VOCs including naphthalenes and lead scavengers, using US EPA Method 8260,
Polynuclear Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs), using US EPA Method 8270, and
Total lead in accordance with US EPA SW-846 Method 6010.
Up to six groundwater samples (one per temporary well) will be analyzed for the following parameters:
VOCs including naphthalenes and lead scavengers, using US EPA SW-846 Methods 8260,
PAHs, using US EPA Method 8270 SIM, and
Total and dissolved lead in accordance with US EPA SW-846 Method 6010.
Sampling equipment and supplies (i.e. gloves, hand augers, etc.) will be dedicated to a specific sample location, disposed of after use or decontaminated between sample collection. Sampling personnel are to wear clean latex or nitrile gloves at any time they are handling equipment or containers and will take all precautions to avoid contamination of equipment and supplies. The sampling equipment will also be cleaned between sample intervals using a solution of non-phosphate detergent and rinsed in potable water. Parts or surfaces of the portable non-dedicated equipment that come in contact with soil be decontaminated between sample collection points by washing with a non-phosphate detergent wash, followed by a rinse in potable water.
SME estimates one drum of soil cuttings and one drum of wastewater will be generated during this investigation. The drums will be labeled and staged on-Site pending the results of the laboratory analyses. Following receipt of the laboratory analyses, SME will arrange for the off-Site disposal of the drummed waste by an approved subcontractor within a month of generation. For budgeting purposes, SME assumes the investigation-derived wastes can be managed as nonhazardous waste; however, if the results of the analyses do not indicate the presence of any COCs at concentrations exceeding the RCG residential screening level, the material may be disposed on-Site as suggested by the EPA’s Green Remediation Best Management Practices.
Upon receipt of notification to proceed, SME will schedule and complete the proposed scope of work. The laboratory analyses will be performed on a two week turn around basis, and a written Report will be prepared and submitted to the NIRPC within ten working days of receipt of the final laboratory report.
SME anticipates submittal of the Assessment Report within 60 days of authorization to proceed.
SME will provide the scope of services based on a time-and-materials basis, not-to-exceed cost of
$21,925.00. The project will be invoiced on a monthly basis in accordance with the attached SME 2022 Environmental Services Fee Schedule.
The fee estimate, is based on the following assumptions:
SME will have unrestricted access to the Property.
No more than one meeting will be needed to discuss the results.
SME will clear the location of public utilities at the site through the Indiana 811 system and may utilize the services of a private underground structure/utility service prior to performing the field exploration. Client is to furnish SME information on any known private underground utilities on the Property prior to performing the field exploration at the Property. SME will use due care during our sampling activities; however, SME is not responsible for damage to utilities or structures not clearly marked and staked by the Indiana 811 system or indicated during the private locating activities.
SME will exercise care to reduce potential damage to existing ground surface areas during the field exploration, and will fill and cap the boring locations with like materials. However, our fee does not include time or expenses associated with the repair of ruts or damage to lawns, landscaping, pavements (with the exception of the boreholes), soft ground and other areas that may be disturbed during the field exploration. We will attempt to limit damage to these areas to the extent practicable. However, due to the weight of the drilling equipment, some significant rutting of exposed subgrade, or cracking of existing pavements (i.e., roads, driveways, sidewalks, etc.) could occur in areas traversed by the drilling equipment, especially during and shortly after periods of wet weather.
We will have no delays due to weather or force majeure and field work will be completed in two days.
Level D personal protective equipment is suitable for the project.
All work will be performed in accordance with the attached SME General Conditions
SME will provide the proposed services in accordance with the attached SME General Conditions as previously agreed with NIRPC, which are an integral part of this proposal. Please sign the attached General Conditions (GC: 03/15) where space is provided.

Unless otherwise noted in the Agreement, the boreholes will be backfilled with auger cuttings and/or bentonite, and excavations will be backfilled with excavated material. Asphalt coldpatch or quick-setting concrete will normally be used to repair existing pavement areas flush to the existing grade. Core holes in concrete floors and bridge decks will be filled with quick-setting concrete flush to the existing floor surface. Excess soil will be left on-site at the locations of the boreholes or excavations, placed in nearby greenway areas, or containerized as appropriate for site and environmental conditions.
VARIATIONS IN SUBSURFACE CONDITIONS AND INTERPRETATION OF SME DATA: CLIENT recognizes
that subsurface conditions on the site may vary from those encountered at the locations where borings, surveys, or explorations are made by SME and that the data, interpretations and recommendations of SME are based solely on the information available to SME. SME will not be responsible for the data generated by others or interpretations and recommendations by others based upon the data and information developed or provided by SME.
SURFACE MATERIALS: Unless otherwise noted in the Agreement, SME will obtain approximate thickness measurements of surficial materials, such as pavements, aggregate base, and topsoil, at the time of the exploration. These measurements are considered approximate since some mixing of surficial materials and the underlying subgrade can occur. Additional evaluation methods and additional fees would be required to obtain more precise measurement of surface materials.
TRAFFIC CONTROL: Unless otherwise noted in the Agreement, SME will be responsible for supplying such signs, barricades and traffic control personnel as may be needed for safe drilling or excavation operations.

SAMPLE DISPOSAL:
Unless otherwise requested in writing by CLIENT, SME will dispose of soil samples submitted to SME's laboratories 60 days after the samples are obtained. Unless otherwise requested in writing by CLIENT, samples submitted to subcontract laboratories will be disposed by those laboratories in accordance with their sample retention policies. CLIENT agrees that it will not hold SME responsible or liable for any loss of test specimens or samples, and CLIENT agrees to pay costs associated with the storage of samples beyond the normal storage times described herein.
In the event residual sampled materials in SME’s possession are determined to be RCRA hazardous wastes, contain PCBs above Type II landfill disposal limits, or are otherwise subject to state or federal disposal restrictions, we will, after completion of testing and at CLIENT's expense, and using a manifest signed by CLIENT as generator, have such samples transported to a location selected by CLIENT for final disposal (see Disposal of Hazardous and Other Regulated Wastes). CLIENT agrees to pay all costs associated with the storage, transport, and disposal of such samples. CLIENT recognizes and agrees that we are acting as a bailee and at no time assume title to said waste.
ENVIRONMENTAL RISKS:
CLIENT shall inform SME of any known environmental site conditions that could affect the health and safety of our field personnel or that could affect SME’s performance of its services. For projects other than environmental assessments, SME will report only for informational purposes, unusual odors and/or colorations of the soil observed during field activities.
Unanticipated hazardous substances, subsurface contaminants, and/or biological pollutants (HAZMAT) or levels of HAZMAT may exist at the project site. The discovery of unanticipated HAZMAT may constitute a changed condition mandating renegotiation of the scope and fees and make it necessary for SME to take immediate measures to protect human health and safety, and/or the environment. SME agrees to notify CLIENT as soon as practicable if unanticipated HAZMAT is encountered. CLIENT authorizes SME to take measures that, in SME's sole professional opinion, are justified to preserve and protect the health and safety of SME's personnel and the public, and/or environment, and CLIENT agrees to compensate SME for the additional cost of such work. SME does not assume control of or responsibility for reporting to any federal, state, or local public agencies, any conditions at the site that may present a potential danger to health, safety, or the environment.
There is a risk that drilling and sampling may result in contamination of certain subsurface areas, such as when a boring device moves through a contaminated area and connects it to an aquifer not previously contaminated. SME will exercise reasonable care and caution to prevent such occurrences; however, because such drilling and sampling is a necessary aspect of the services that SME will provide for CLIENT’s benefit, CLIENT agrees that SME shall not be held liable for exacerbation of HAZMAT caused in this manner.
CLIENT recognizes that discovery of HAZMAT on the site may result in a significant reduction of the property's value, and SME cannot be held responsible for such devaluation.
It is possible this assessment may fail to reveal the presence of contaminants, hazardous materials, or other types of environmental contamination collectively referred to as “contaminants” at sites where contaminants are assumed, expected, or subsequently determined to exist. CLIENT understands that SME's failure to discover contaminants does not guarantee that contaminants do not exist at the site. Similarly, a site which in fact is unaffected by contaminants at the time of SME's study, may later, due to natural phenomena or human intervention, become contaminated. CLIENT agrees that it would be unfair to hold SME liable for failing to discover contaminants whose exact location is impossible to foretell, or for failing to discover contaminants, which, in fact, did not exist at specific sampling locations at the time such samples were taken. Accordingly, CLIENT waives any claim against SME, and agrees to defend, indemnify and save SME harmless from any claims or liability for injury or loss arising from SME's failure to detect the presence of contaminants through techniques commonly employed for the purpose.
CLIENT agrees to defend, hold harmless and indemnify SME from and against any and all claims and liabilities resulting from encountering unexpected HAZMAT, including compensation for any time spent and expenses incurred by SME.
DISPOSAL OF HAZARDOUS AND OTHER REGULATED WASTES: CLIENT agrees to select treatment/disposal facilities, pay for transportation and disposal, and sign, or have OWNER sign all waste profile forms, land disposal certifications, transportation manifests, and any other documentation required for transportation and disposal of hazardous wastes, PCB wastes, or other regulated wastes. Under no circumstance will SME select a disposal /treatment facility, arrange for transportation or disposal of regulated wastes, or otherwise act as agent for the generator of the wastes. CLIENT agrees to the maximum extent permitted by law to defend, hold harmless and indemnify SME from and against any and all claims and liabilities resulting from violation of any federal, state or local statute, regulation or ordinance relating to the disposal of hazardous wastes, substances or constituents or allegations that SME generated, transported, stored, treated or disposed of wastes or other contaminated materials, or arranged for the transportation, treatment, storage, or disposal of wastes or other contaminated materials, subject to federal, state, or local regulation or law.

CLIENT agrees to pay a service charge of 1-1/2% per month, or the maximum rate allowed by law, whichever is greater, on past due accounts.
INSTRUMENTS OF SERVICE: All reports, field data, field notes, laboratory test data, calculations, estimates, and other documents prepared by SME in connection with this Project shall be considered instruments of service, and shall remain the property of SME. SME grants CLIENT and OWNER a limited license to use such instruments of service for the purpose of designing, constructing, maintaining or repairing work that is part of this Project. Any reuse of SME's instruments of service for any purpose other than the limited license granted herein is prohibited and SME shall have no responsibility to CLIENT, OWNER or third parties for unauthorized use of its instruments of services.
RECORDS RETENTION: SME will retain pertinent records relating to the services performed for CLIENT for a period of time consistent with SME's File Management Plan, a copy of which will be provided to CLIENT upon request. During that period, the records will be made available to the CLIENT at reasonable times. At the end of the retention period indicated in SME's File Management Plan, SME may, in its sole discretion, dispose of all such records.
SME MAKES NO WARRANTY, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, WITH REGARDS TO ITS SERVICES.
TERMINATION: Either party may terminate this Agreement upon at least 7 days written notice in the event of substantial failure by the other party to perform in accordance with the terms hereof. Such termination will not be effective if that substantial failure is remedied before expiration of the period specified in the written notice. This Agreement shall also be automatically terminated upon a suspension of the Project for more than 3 months. In the event of termination, CLIENT will pay SME for services performed to the termination notice date plus reasonable termination expenses. In the event of termination, or suspension, prior to completion of all reports contemplated by this Agreement, SME may complete such analyses and records as are necessary to complete the files and may also complete a report on the services performed to the date of notice of termination or suspension. The expenses of termination or suspension include all direct costs of completing such analyses, records, and reports.
DISPUTES: If any dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or its breach, is not settled through direct discussions, the parties agree that as a condition precedent to litigation or arbitration, they will endeavor for 30 days following written notice by one party to the other of a dispute or breach, to settle the dispute by mediation with the assistance of a neutral mediator. In any litigation or arbitration, if applicable, the parties agree that the prevailing party is entitled to recover all reasonable costs incurred in defense or prosecution of the claim, including its staff time, court costs, attorney's fees, and other claim-related expenses. Notwithstanding, SME has no obligation to mediate with CLIENT prior to litigation when collecting fees owed by CLIENT.
AUTHORIZATION: By signing these General Conditions, CLIENT agrees to accept the proposal, including these General Conditions and any Special Conditions, as the Agreement governing SME's services and the relationship between the parties. If CLIENT gives SME other-than-written authorization to proceed with services after receiving SME's written proposal, CLIENT accepts the proposal, these General Conditions, and any Special Conditions, as the Agreement governing SME's services, and the Agreement is effective, except for those provisions that CLIENT objects to in writing within 7 days following the other-than-written authorization.
SAFETY: SME will be responsible only for the safety of SME employees. Unless otherwise explicitly described in our scope of services, the scope of services does not include job or site safety for, or supervision or direction of, the work of others. The presence of SME on the job site should not be construed to in any way relieve the CLIENT, other contractors, or other parties on the site of the obligation and responsibilities for their personal safety and the safety of their employees, consultants, and subcontractors.
INSURANCE: SME and its staff are protected by worker's compensation insurance and SME has coverage under General Liability and Professional Liability insurance policies. SME will provide CLIENT with evidence of such policies upon written request. SME is not responsible for any loss, damage or liability arising from acts of CLIENT, its agents, staff, and other consultants employed by CLIENT.
INDEMNIFICATION: To the fullest extent permitted by law, CLIENT shall hold harmless, defend, and indemnify SME from and against all claims, damages, losses and expense, including reasonable attorney fees, arising out of the performance of SME's services or the materials of others in connection with the Project regardless of whether or not such claim, damage, loss or expense is caused in part by SME; provided however, that this obligation shall not apply to claims, damage, loss or expense caused solely by negligence of SME.

Modifications: This agreement shall not be modified except in writing, signed by both parties to this agreement. The parties agree that the Commission may modify ATTACHMENT A – SCOPE OF SERVICES by adding, deleting, or modifying tasks, subtasks, and schedules or the content or quantity of products to be produced by the Contractor to the extent that such modifications have no upward or downward adjustment in the total cost of this agreement. Any adjustment in total cost for the services described in this agreement shall be negotiated between the Commission and the Contractor, shall be in writing, signed by both parties, and appended to this agreement.
Independent Contractor: Nothing in this agreement shall be construed as creating an employer/employee relationship between the Commission and the Contractor. The Contractor understands and agrees that any and all tax liability that might be assessed on fees paid by the Commission to the Contractor is its sole responsibility.
Insurance: The Contractor agrees to maintain comprehensive insurance including, but not limited to, Federal, State, or Local employers’ liability, workers’ compensation, social
security unemployment compensation, comprehensive general liability insurance and automobile liability insurance with respect to its own employees in amounts customarily maintained in its industry and agrees that any liability arising out of the services rendered hereunder shall not be limited to the Contractor insurance coverage.
Indemnity: The Contractor shall defend, indemnify, protect and hold harmless the Commission, its officers, directors, employees, and independent contractors from any and all liability occasioned wholly or in part by any negligent act, failure to exercise the care customary in the profession, or errors or omission of the Contractor; including liability resulting from willful or intentional violation by the Contractor of proprietary rights, copyrights, or rights of privacy, arising out of the publication, translation, quotation, reproduction, delivery, use, performance, or disposition of data furnished by the Contractor, its independent contractors, agents or employees; including any and all expenses, legal or otherwise, incurred by the Commission in defense of any claim or suit arising out of services provided under this agreement.
Delays: The Contractor shall perform its services with due diligence upon receipt of a written notice to proceed from the Commission. Neither party shall be responsible for delays nor failure in performance due to causes beyond the reasonable control of either party. The Contractor will notify the Commission immediately of any event that will delay deliverables and provide the Commission with a written notice thereof specifying the reasons for the delay and actions planned to compensate for the delay in performance. The Commission will not unreasonably withhold an extension to the term of this agreement.
Termination: This agreement may be terminated, in whole, or in part, if the Commission shall determine that such termination is in its best interests. Upon receipt of written notice of termination from the Commission, thirty (30) days thereafter, the Contractor shall discontinue performance and refrain from incurring further costs unless otherwise directed; and within thirty (30) days deliver to the Commission all data, graphics, summaries, reports, and other information and materials the Contractor has accumulated in the performance of services under the agreement, whether completed or in process.
If termination is for convenience, the Contractor shall be compensated for all services performed and reasonable costs incurred up to the effective date of termination subject to the elements of Compensation and Terms of Payment reference in other sections of this agreement.
Access to records: The Contractor hereby agrees to submit to the Commission, such annual or special financial and operating reports as the Commission may reasonably request.

Charles Bradsky presented on Resolution 22-13: 2023 – 2024 Unified Planning Work Program
(UPWP). NIRPC has received PL and 5303 funds of $1,846,933.00 for 2023. The remaining funds for FY-21 is $372,500.00 and $836,500.00 for FY-22. NIRPC is required to provide non-federal matching funds. Therefore, $751,875.00 is needed for FY-23 and $477,500.00 for FY-24. The committee discussed the possibility of having a working group that focuses on environmental justice (EJ) for upcoming projects to give outreach and guidance to policy. On motion by Kay Nelson and second by David Wright, the TPC approved to recommend Res. 22-13 to The Commission.
Kathy Luther presented on the Regional Climate Action Planning (RCAP) Framework. The 2017 Greenhouse Gas Emission Inventories (GHGE) has been completed in 15 communities within The Region. The 2017 GHGE baseline total for carbon dioxide equivalents were 49M metric tons from sources such as commercial and residential energy, industrial, transportation, solid waste, and water treatment within The Region. The focus was narrowed into three scopes. Scope one focuses on GHGE from sources located within the community boundary. Scope two focuses on GHGE occurring because of the use of grid-supplied electricity, heat, steam and/or cooling. Scope three focuses on all other GHGE that occur outside the community boundary as a result of activities taking place within the community boundary. The RCAP process is slated to form a working group between March through May. The working group will develop and implement outreach and engagement strategies, goals and objectives. A draft of the RCAP framework and development of local CAP support plan and performance metrics is slated for August 2022. By November, the working group will finalize and adopt a NWI regional climate action framework. For more information, please contact Kathy at kluther@nirpc.org.
