South Bend Redevelopment Commission <br />Regular Meeting August 6, 2010 <br />6. NEW BUSINESS <br />A. South Bend Central Development Area <br />(1) Proposal for repair of surface parking lot <br />at 225 S. Main Street. <br />Ms. Jennings noted that 225 S. Main Street, <br />at the corner of Main and Jefferson, is in <br />need of repair. The License Auditor for the <br />City of South Bend has inspected the lot and <br />determined there are trip hazards throughout <br />the parking lot with holes and loose asphalt <br />material. Ampco Parking, the management <br />company for the city"sparking lots and <br />garages, solicited three quotes for the repair, <br />which ranged fi-om $13,450 to $9,165. <br />However, on July 9, the Commission <br />authorized Danch Harney & Associates to <br />design landscaping for the lot. Danch Harney <br />has assured staff there is no duplication of <br />services. Danch Harney will coordinate with <br />the Arndt Asphalt Sealing to get both jobs <br />done without interference. Staff <br />recommends approving the contract with <br />Arndt at a cost not to exceed $12,000, in case <br />there are additional costs related to the <br />coordination. <br />Ms. Jones noted that Arndt is not a local <br />tu-~n. The second lowest bid vas from a <br />local firm. She suggested using the second <br />lowest bid, since we were setting the not-to- <br />exceed amount at $12,000. <br />Mr. Inks responded that staff does not have <br />the authority to go with anything but the <br />lowest quote. If the scope of the project <br />changes it can be re-quoted. Maybe the <br />results will change. <br />4 <br />
