430 <br />REGULAR MEETING <br />NOVEMBER 15, 1993 <br />Board invoke its emergency powers and authorize the Division of <br />Engineering to solicit Quotations and award a contract for paving <br />Phillipa Street from Calvert to Indiana Avenue. <br />Mr. Littrell stated that it is essential to restore the Phillipa <br />Street pavement at the earliest possible time to allow residents <br />safe and convenient access to their homes as well as access to <br />emergency service vehicles. This project began as a simple water <br />main installation with the Street Department scheduled to mainly <br />patch pavement with some replacement. However, the mucky nature <br />of the soil in the area made the excavation much larger than would <br />otherwise have been necessary. The marginal quality of the <br />remaining pavement and curbing dictated that the curbs and <br />pavement be rebuilt. Quotations were received and a contract <br />awarded for the curb installation. The South Bend Street <br />Department was scheduled to do the paving. <br />Unanticipated heavy rainfall during the weekend of October 15-16 <br />and during the following week, made the street impassable to <br />construction equipment so that the curbs could not be built before <br />the Street Department began Operation ReLeaf. The Street <br />Department will not be able to complete the paving in time to <br />assure the health, welfare and safety of the Phillipa Street <br />residents. Thus, this request is made to receive Quotations from <br />contractors who can accomplish the work before the asphalt plants <br />close for the winter. <br />Mr. Caldwell made a motion that the Board invoke its emergency <br />powers, declare that an emergency exists and authorize the <br />Division of Engineering to seek Quotations and award a contract <br />for this project. Mr. Leszczynski seconded the motion which <br />carried. <br />APPROVE AGREEMENT - WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT SERVICES/DEPARTMENT OF <br />COMMUNITY AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT <br />Mr. Leszczynski advised that the Board is in receipt of an <br />Agreement between the City of South Bend, by and through the Board <br />Of Public Works on behalf of the Department of Community and <br />Economic Development and Workforce Development for the Workforce <br />Diversity Initiative activity. <br />It was noted that this is a 1993 UDAG Reimbursement Agreement with <br />WDS which continues the funding after expiration of the previous <br />Agreement which expired on July 31, 1993.

Mr. Caldwell seconded the <br />motion which carried. <br />r%rrnV V Z - MOVING OF HALL OF FAME COLLECTION <br />Mr. Leszczynski noted that the Board is in receipt of an Agreement <br />between the City of South Bend and Jordan's Mishawaka Transfer, <br />Inc., 1208 East Seventh Street, Mishawaka, Indiana.
