South Bend Redevelopment Commission <br />Regular Meeting -February 5, 2010 <br />6. NEW BUSINESS (CONT.) <br />E. South Side Development Area <br />(1) continued... <br />will reduce overflow impacts on the existing <br />storm water network and the Erskine Park <br />Golf Course. <br />The proposed project consists of removing <br />the existing pond along Miami, reshaping <br />and improving the existing interior pond, and <br />creating a new pond at the southwest corner <br />of Hawbaker and High Streets. Overflow <br />from the ponds will still be directed to the <br />stormwater system and the golf course, but <br />the need to divert water should be minimized <br />by the improved pond percolation and design <br />of the systems. The reclaimed pond site will <br />be filled and could become space for two <br />new south side tenants. <br />The Commission is being asked to authorize <br />the expenditure of funds from the South Side <br />Development Area TIF District to fund the <br />professional service contract with <br />Christopher B. Burke Engineering (CBBE). <br />The contract will allow CBBE to continue <br />with some pedevelopment activities like <br />surveys, deed review and easement research, <br />and development of plans and specifications <br />for construction of the new pond and related <br />infrastructure, as well as plans and <br />specifications for the modifications to the <br />existing ponds. The cost of the proposal is <br />$142,200, and staff requests approval of a <br />project budget not to exceed $145,000.00. <br />Mr. Varner asked what is driving this project: <br />drainage, a development project, or what? <br />Mr. Schalliol estimated total project costs, <br />12 <br />
