<br />Steve & Gene's Auto & Truck Salvage and Repair, 3109 South
<br />Gertrude Street, South Bend, Indiana. It was noted that all
<br />vehicles have been stored more than fifteen (15) days,
<br />identification checks had been run for auto theft and the owners
<br />and lienholders notified. Upon a motion made by Ms. Barnard,
<br />seconded by Mr. Leszczynski and carried, the above request was
<br />approved and a date of August 5, 1986, was established for the
<br />receiving and opening of sealed bids.
<br />APPROVE REQUEST TO ADVERTISE FOR RECEIPT OF BIDS - WASHINGTON,
<br />JEFFERSON AND THOMAS STREET WALK AND CURB REPAIRS PROJECT
<br />In a letter to the Board, Neil Shanahan, Manager, Bureau of
<br />Public Construction, requested that the Board advertise for the
<br />receipt of bids for the Washington, Jefferson and Thomas Street
<br />Walk and Curb Repairs Project. Upon a motion made by Mr.
<br />Leszczynski, seconded by Ms. Barnard and carried, the above
<br />request was approved.
<br />RESCISSION OF PRIOR AWARD AND APPROVE REQUEST TO ADVERTISE FOR
<br />THE RECEIPT OF BIDS - AMBULANCE (FIRE DEPARTMENT)
<br />In a letter to the Board, Fire Chief Luther Taylor advised that
<br />within the past four (4) months, the Department has solicited
<br />proposals and awarded a bid for the purchase of a 1986, 10,5000
<br />GVWR cab and chassis upon which an ambulance module would be
<br />placed. Due to circumstances beyond their control and apparently
<br />beyond the control of the successful bidder, the specified cab
<br />and chassis is no longer available nor are there any plans to
<br />manufacture such cab and chassis. Chief Taylor further advised
<br />that he has been advised that purchasing a cab and chassis from
<br />another manufacturer would not solve the problem since the cab to
<br />axle ratio is different and modifying the ambulance module is not
<br />cost effective. Taking this into consideration, there appears to
<br />be no alternative but to write specifications and solicit bids
<br />for a complete new ambulance. He stated that it is anticipated
<br />that the new ambulance will cost $55,000.00. There is $19,500.00
<br />currently available for the purchase,with additional funds
<br />possibly to be appropriated from the EMS Capital Improvement
<br />Fund. Additionally, a 1979 ambulance with 61,000 miles will be
<br />offered as a trade.
<br />Therefore, upon a motion made by Ms. Barnard, seconded by Mr.
<br />Leszczynski and carried, the April 1, 1986, award to Tom Wood
<br />Pontiac/GMC, Inc., 7550 E. Washington Street, Indianapolis,
<br />Indiana, in the amount of $15,690.00 for one (1) 10,500 GVWR
<br />replacement cab and chassis for a South Bend Fire Department
<br />ambulance was rescinded and the request to advertise for the
<br />receipt of new bids was approved.
<br />APPROVE CHANGE ORDER NO. 1 - IRELAND SIGNALS PROJECT
<br />Mr. Leszczynski advised that OMNI Electric, Michigan City,
<br />Indiana, has submitted Change Order No. 1 indicating that the
<br />contract amount for the above referred to State of Indiana
<br />project be increased by $1,900.00. It was noted that the
<br />increased cost is the result of the necessity to accommodate
<br />changing traffic patterns due to the construction of a new
<br />baseball stadium. Upon a motion made by Mr. Leszczynski,
<br />seconded by Ms. Barnard and carried, Change Order No. 1 was
<br />approved.
<br />APPROVE TITLE SHEETS:
<br />- WATER AND SEWER EXTENSIONS ON CLEARVIEW PLACE & MAYFLOWER ROAD
<br />- WASHINGTON, JEFFERSON AND THOMAS STREET WALK AND CURB REPAIRS
<br />Mr. Leszczynski advised that Title Sheets for the above referred
<br />to projects were being presented at this time for execution.
