South Bend Redevelopment Commission <br />Rescheduled Regular Meeting -October 23, 2009 <br />As we complete demolition of existing <br />buildings in early 20I 1, it is necessary to <br />know and be preparing to take the next steps. <br />Some of these steps may have long lead <br />times. We want to avoid having demolition <br />complete and be waiting several months or a <br />year for any design, spec writing, bidding or <br />RFP processes. If we can identify the next <br />steps early then we can overlap lead time <br />requirements with demolition. Once <br />demolition is done, we can immediately <br />proceed with development activities. <br />Hathaway 2 has the experience and skills to <br />lead this project and ensure completion of <br />these services. The not-to-exceed $120,000 <br />contract is all-inclusive, including travel and <br />out-of-pocket expenses, as well as any <br />consulting fees Hathaway 2 may sub-contract <br />for, and $750 per month for rent of office <br />space. The payment schedule for the <br />contract is not to exceed $10,000 per month. <br />Jim Eifert is expected to be the primary <br />consultant to be hired by Hathaway 2. <br />Mr. Gibney noted that after consultation with <br />Mr. Leone of the city's legal department. the <br />contract will have some minor changes, <br />mainly clarifications to the deliverables, so <br />approval should be made subject to those <br />changes. <br />Mayor Luecke noted that we are all eager for <br />things to take off in Ignition Park. We have <br />always believed that good planning makes <br />for good development. This contract will <br />address «~ho will manage Ignition Park, how <br />the city should begin investing dollars <br />effectively to assist in connnercialization of <br />ideas. etc. Ms. Hathaway's office will be at <br />Innovation Park in order to keep close <br />contact as companies are entering into and <br />9 <br />
