Capital Improvement Board OKs up to $35,000 to fix defective Larry Bird Museum exhibit graphics

What happened

The Capital Improvement Board (CIB) authorized its president to sign a contract of up to $35,000 for repairs at the Larry Bird Museum, after being shown a project estimate of $28,660 from Ignition Arts LLC (0:02:08, 0:52:53). Board member Chris Switzer said John Marvel, who was home ill, had texted that $5,000 more was needed because a graphic was missed, and the chair agreed to set the cap at $35,000 (0:53:19, 0:53:34). Museum staff said that once a contract is signed, production takes seven to eight weeks, followed by installation (0:32:48). This follows the board's Aug. 26 report that it had paid a 50% deposit to Ignition Arts for replacement graphics (Aug. 26, 1:07:05).

The outcome

Passed on a voice vote on a motion by Chris Switzer; no per-member tally was recorded (0:53:41).
