The Bureau of Traffic and Lighting will provide to Mr. Stafford eight (8) covers for the parking space reservation signs which will be marked "No Parking." Mr. Stafford is to use them as necessary but no more than eight (8) at any one time. 3. Mr. Stafford will be required to notify the Board of Public Works of his schedule for completing the work and the approximate period he will be tuckpointing. Mr. Leszczynski further advised that most of the painting will be done on the weekend and that a maximum of eight (8) parking spaces at any one time will be taken up against the wall of the building while the building is being tuckpointed. It is noted that Mr. Stafford has made arrangements at the Main Street parking garage for parking spaces for City employees who will be displaced during this renovation period and that Mr. Stafford previously submitted to the Board a Certificate of Insurance naming the City of South Bend as an additional insured in conjunction with this request. Therefore, Mr. Leszczynski made a motion that the request be approved with the stipulations as outlined above. Mrs. DeC lercq seconded the motion which carried. REJECT QUOTATION FOR STATE THEATRE MARQUEE ROOF REPAIR In a letter to the Board, Ms. Cleo Hickey, Economic Development Specialist, Department of Economic Development, advised that Quotations were received by the Board of Public Works for the Department of Economic Development on November 19, 1990 for the repair of the marquee roof on the State Theatre. Ms. Hickey noted that this type of small, specialized roof repair was difficult to cost estimate because of its unique nature. On November 19, 1990, only one (1) Quotation was received from North Central Roofing, Inc., of Mishawaka, Indiana, in the amount of $14,333.00. Because the Commission was not prepared to expend this much money for the repairs, the Department of Economic Development will ask their consultant, Ken Herceg and Associates, Inc., to revise the specifications and reduce the scope of work. They will then, under separate missive, ask the Board to approve the receipt of Quotations for the revised work. Therefore, Ms. Hickey requested that the Board reject the Quotation of North Central Roofing as received on November 19, 1990 as being above the Engineer's Estimate and for permission to seek Quotations for the revised scope of work. Mrs. DeClercq made a motion that the recommendation be accepted and the Quotation previously received be rejected. Ms. Humphreys seconded the motion which carried.
