South Bend Redevelopment Commission <br />Regular Meeting -June 4, 2010 <br />to be done to accommodate the use; and they <br />will suggest compatible uses. Staff requests <br />a not-to-exceed fee of $50,000. <br />Ms. Jones asked what the time frame would <br />be. Mr. Relos responded that there is no set <br />time frame. Staff expects a decision to be <br />made about reuse in the next year. <br />Mr. Inks noted that there was $175,000 set <br />aside in the budget for matching funds for an <br />EDA grant that was going to look at the reuse <br />of the facility. That item seems to be off the <br />table. Those funds will be used for this <br />contract. <br />Ms. King asked if ADG will be preparing a <br />report. Mr. Relos said ADG's services will <br />be used on an as-needed basis. When a <br />potential user comes forward, ADG will do a <br />study to see what adaptations would need to <br />be made to accommodate them. We would <br />get a report on the accommodations that <br />would need to be made for that user. <br />Mr. Gibney noted that the building is very <br />unique. Two-thirds of it is underground; <br />one-third is above ground. As staff has <br />talked with groups interested in the facility, <br />they are most interested in the above ground <br />portion. We think the lower level can also be <br />attractive for a variety of tenants. However, <br />we don't know structurally what we can do <br />underground. We have suggested large <br />pyramid shaped skylights, but we don't know <br />if the structure would support those. We <br />have suggested moving the front of the first <br />floor closer to the street, but don't know if <br />the lower level will support that. Also, there <br />are no loading docks directly into the Hall of <br />Fame. Unloading must be done at Century <br />Center. The tunnel entrance between <br />4 <br />
