� 6(/0) memorandum Community & Economic Development ,a IB65 � 1200 County -City Building, 227 West Jefferson, South Bend, Indiana 46601 -1830 Phone 574/235 -9371 Fax 574/235 -9021 To: Redevelopment Commission; Board of Public Works From: Bill Schalliol, Economic Development Planner O Subject: Resolution 2771 and Addendum To Master Agency Agreement Olive Road Extension Design Project- Brick to Adams Date: September 17, 2010 Attached to this memorandum is Resolution 2771 and Addendum To Master Agency Agreement for the Olive Road Extension Design Project- Brick to Adams. Attached to the Addendum is a copy of the professional services proposal from DLZ Indiana, LLC, to provide project design services for the development of preliminary construction drawings and right -of -way plans for the development of the Olive Road extension connector roadway. Over the last 10 years, the Redevelopment Commission and the Board of Works have been working together to create a north /south corridor in the northwestern part of the City to accommodate future industrial and commercial development opportunities. To date, Olive Road has been improved from a typical county road cross- section from Nimtz Parkway to Brick Road. The City is presently working on right -of -way acquisition and construction planning from Lincolnway to Nimtz for a future roadway improvement. The Olive Road section from Brick to Adams would be a new segment that would extend the circulation network to the north and would serve to connect the western limits of Portage Prairie to the existing Blackthorn West development area as well as connect into the future Adams Road /St. Joseph Valley Parkway interchange. The attached proposal will create a roadway and right -of -way acquisition plan for this roadway segment. Survey work will be done yet this year and plans and guidelines will be developed over the winter and the right -of -way planning should be complete by spring to allow for acquisition. It is not anticipated that the roadway will be constructed until the need is present. Staff requests approval of Resolution 2771 and the Addendum To Master Agency Agreement for the Olive Road Extension Design Project- Brick to Adams. What We Do Today Makes A Difference!
