Board renews public‑works professional services contract with WSP USA, Inc. for up to $592,680

The Muncie City Board of Public Works and Safety voted March 4 to continue the city’s professional services contract with WSP USA, Inc.

Mayor Dan Rydenower told the board the contract continues a longstanding relationship with WSP and covers a variety of projects on an hourly basis. He said the total not‑to‑exceed amount for the year is $592,680 and that the work is funded from multiple sources. The mayor noted WSP’s assistance on projects including Prairie Creek.

A board member asked whether the agreement was an engineering contract or a broader general services arrangement; staff clarified it is a general professional‑services engagement rather than a single‑project construction contract. After brief discussion the board moved and carried approval.

Staff will proceed with contract administration under the Public Works department.
