South Bend Redevelopment Commission <br />Regular Meeting –August 6, 2010 <br /> <br /> <br />6. NEW BUSINESS <br /> <br /> <br /> A. South Bend Central Development Area <br /> <br />(1) Proposal for repair of surface parking lot <br />at 225 S. Main Street. <br /> <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’s parking lots and <br />garages, solicited three quotes for the repair, <br />which ranged from $13,450 to $9,165. <br /> <br />However, on July 9, the Commission <br />authorized Danch Harner & Associates to <br />design landscaping for the lot. Danch Harner <br />has assured staff there is no duplication of <br />services. Danch Harner 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 /> <br />Ms. Jones noted that Arndt is not a local <br />firm. The second lowest bid was 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 /> <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 /> <br /> 4 <br /> <br />
