<br />APPROVE CONTRACTS FOR ANIMAL CONTROL AND SHELTER SERVICES AND
<br />DOG LICENSING SERVICES
<br />Mrs. Patricia E. DeClercq, Director, Department of Code
<br />Enforcement, advised that submitted to the Board were Contracts
<br />for Animal Control and Shelter Services and Dog Licensing
<br />Services which are the result of negotiations with the Humane
<br />Society of St. Joseph County. Mrs. DeClercq advised that the
<br />Contracts are for two (2) years running to December 31, 1993.
<br />The Contract for Animal Control and Shelter Services is in the
<br />amount of $172,258.00 for 1992 and $180,871.24 for 1993. All
<br />other terms remain the same.
<br />The Contract for Dog Licensing Services remains the same with the
<br />exception that the Contract term is extended to December 31, 1993
<br />to conform with the expiration date of the Animal Control and
<br />Shelter Services Contract. The Contract allows the Humane
<br />Society to issue dog licenses and to keep one-half (1/2) of all
<br />licenseing fees collected. In response to a question from the
<br />news media, Mrs. DeClercq noted that the Contract for Animal
<br />Control and Shelter Services reflects a four per cent (4%)
<br />increase in 1992 and a five per cent (5%) increase in 1993.
<br />Therefore, Mr. Leszczynski made a motion that the above outlined
<br />Contracts be approved and executed. Mrs. DeClercq seconded the
<br />motion which carried.
<br />AWARD QUOTATION/APPROVE CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT - TEMPORARY
<br />PROTECTION OF MAIN STREET ROW BUILDING
<br />Mr. Carl P. Littrell, Director, Division of Engineering, advised
<br />that he has reviewed the five (5) Quotations received on January
<br />13, 1991 for the above referred to project. Mr. Littrell noted
<br />that the low Quotation submitted by Powell Construction Company,
<br />1713 South Bend Avenue, South Bend, Indiana, in the amount of
<br />$3,915.00 was non -responsive as the Quotation excluded work
<br />specifically requested in the notice for Quotation. Therefore,
<br />Mr. Littrell recommended that the Board award the Quotation of
<br />Gibson -Lewis, Inc., 1001 West llth Street, P.O. Box 488,
<br />Mishawaka, Indiana, the next low bidder, for a lump sum of
<br />$4,640.00.
<br />Mr. Leszczynski noted that the appropriate Construction Contract
<br />for this project, in the Contract amount of $4,640.00, was also
<br />submitted for approval and execution.
<br />Therefore, Mrs. DeClercq made a motion that the recommendation
<br />be accepted, the Quotation of Gibson -Lewis be awarded and the
<br />Construction Contract be approved and executed. Mr. Leszczynski
<br />seconded the motion which carried.
<br />APPROVE CHANGE ORDER NO. 2 - TRANSWESTERN BUILDING DEMOLITION
<br />Mr. Leszczynski advised that Warner & Sons, Inc., P.O. Box 87,

<br />No. 2 indicating that the Contract amount be increased by
<br />$68,924.38 for a new Contract sum, including this Change Order,
<br />in the amount of $1,001,424.30. Mr. Leszczynski noted that the
<br />amount of contaminated flooring was originally indicated in the
<br />specifications as 2,134 cubic yards but was found to contain
<br />4,273 cubic yards therefore requiring an increased cost for the
<br />removal of this additional flooring. Also, three (3) weeks of
<br />crane down -time during the time work was stopped and samples were
<br />being collected and tested to find the classification of the wood
<br />flooring, generated an additional cost to this project. Upon a
