South Bend Redevelopment Commission <br />Regular Meeting -March 3, 2006 <br />6. NEW BUSINESS (CONT.) <br />B. Sample-Ewing Development Area <br />(2) Commission approval requested for <br />proposal for professional services in the <br />Sample-Ewing Development Area. <br />(Architectural, Oliver Plow Ct. and <br />Chapin St.) <br />Mr. Laurent noted that staff solicited a <br />proposal for an additional scope of services <br />for streetscape design on Oliver Plow Court <br />and Chapin Street. The Commission initially <br />approved an $8,500 proposal from Forum <br />Architects on July 17, 2006 to design and <br />publicly bid installation of entrance signage <br />for the Oliver Industrial Park. The work was <br />postponed when the bids came in on <br />demolition of the Stamping Plant. Now that <br />we've received some additional project <br />financing, we are ready to move forward on <br />the entrance sign. However, we would like to <br />expand the scope of services to include <br />design and bidding of sidewalk and tree <br />plantings along Oliver Plow Court and the <br />west side of Chapin St. Forum Architects <br />would also design a landscape buffer along <br />Arnold St. to soften the appearance of the <br />industrial park from the nearby St. Casimir <br />residential neighborhood. The cost of the <br />additional services is $6,800. Staff <br />recommends accepting the proposal. <br />Upon a motion by Mr. Hojnacki, seconded <br />by Mr. King and unanimously carried, the <br />Commission approved the request for <br />proposal for professional services and <br />accepted the proposal from Forum Architects <br />for the additional services the fee proposed. <br />COMMISSION APPROVED THE REQUEST FOR <br />PROPOSAL FOR PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AND <br />ACCEPTED THE PROPOSAL FROM FORUM <br />ARCHITECTS FOR THE ADDITIONAL SERVICES AT <br />THE FEE PROPOSED <br />8 <br />
