WILLIAMS & ASSOCIATES <br />Mr. Leszczynski advised that Clyde E. Williams & Associates <br />had submitted a proposal to provide engineering services as <br />required for the installation of a traffic signal at Logan and <br />Pleasant Streets. Mr. Leszczynski stated that South Bend would <br />be paying half the cost of the engineering services in an <br />amount not to exceed $2,000.00, and the City of Mishawaka would <br />be doing the same. It was noted that the preliminary plans <br />must be submitted to the city within 60 calendar days after <br />receiving the notice to proceed with final contract plans and <br />cost estimates being prepared and completed within 30 calendar <br />days after notification that design approval requirements have <br />been met.

Mr. Leszczynski advised that the city has the <br />capabilities of performing the necessary tests; however, <br />because certification must be made to New Energy Company prior <br />to actual construction concerning the soil stability, the city <br />wanted to avoid potential problems which might present liability <br />problems to the city. Mr. Hill added that, by having an outside <br />firm perform the soils tests, the city was being additionally <br />protected from potential liability.
