South Bend Redevelopment Commission Regular Meeting -January 15, 2010 several customers who are anxious for them to be up and running. Upon a motion by Mr. Downes, seconded by Ms. King and unanimously carried, the Commission approved Resolution No. 2643 approving an application for personal property tax deduction for property in the South Bend Central Development Area (Endeavor Machined Products Inc., 850 S Marietta St.) C. South Bend Central Development Area (1) Contract with Schindler Elevator for elevator repairs and certification. (LaSalle Hotel) Mr. Relos noted that the LaSalle Hotel is currently being marketed to developers. In an effort show it better and for safety reasons, staff has solicited a proposal from Schindler Elevator to inspect and repair the freight elevator. The freight elevator is one of three elevators in the building, and the only one that is at all operational. Schindler was chosen because they have worked on the hotel's elevators in the past. It was noted at a site visit with Schindler that many of the elevator doors on each floor are in poor condition, and that on certain floors the door arm locks could stick, causing the door to be left open yet the elevator operational - meaning the door could be left open to an empty elevator shaft. In addition to doing each floor's elevator door maintenance, the attached proposal includes the required 5-year Traction Safety Test, which among other things, tests the elevator's load and braking capacity. The proposal is in the amount of $8,330.
