South Bend Redevelopment Commission <br />Regular Meeting -December 15, 2006 <br />6. NEW BUSINESS (CONT.) <br />D. South Bend Central Development Area <br />() continued... <br />Commission thus approved on the same date <br />in June a proposal from Architecture Design <br />Group to provide architectural services to the <br />City of South Bend for exterior facade <br />renovation. The first deliverable under the <br />scope of services ADG was to provide was a <br />well-researched budget for the facade work, <br />with the requirement that final approval be <br />issued if the total were to exceed $600,000. <br />Bill Lamie, ADG, is here this morning to <br />present for Commission approval the <br />proposed facade construction budget and <br />explain in more detail any of its aspects. <br />Staff requests that you consider Mr. Laurie's <br />presentation in light of the overall project <br />concept before you authorize him to go <br />forward with design document preparation. <br />It would be understood that the actual facade <br />construction work would not be bid until a <br />signed development agreement were in place. <br />If the Commission ultimately finds that the <br />terms presented by the developers agreeable <br />and directs a development agreement to be <br />drafted, specific references will be made to <br />ADG's scope of work. This project is <br />exciting for all of us involved to see. It is <br />Ms. Laurent's professional opinion that this <br />is exactly the type of project that the <br />redevelopment statutes fit and an appropriate <br />place for us to partner with the private sector. <br />The team will make a presentation of its final <br />concept and will answer any questions. <br />Following that, staff will make a <br />recommendation. <br />7 <br />
