South Bend Redevelopment Commission Regular Meeting — October 11, 2011 identify sites for a new Station #5 and #9. Existing fire Station #5 is located on a triangular parcel bounded by Prairie, Olive and Ewing. Fire Station #9 is currently located between 25th and 26th Streets on Mishawaka Avenue. The city is considering a new Station #5 site southwest of the intersection of Olive and Prairie along State Road 23. The city is considering two sites on Mishawaka Avenue for a new station site. In the case of #5, the triangular parcel is too small to accommodate new construction and #9 is a locally historic designated structure that is landlocked and because of the designation, the building cannot be removed. The proposal is necessary to finalize a station location for these two projects. The cost of the study is $5,200 and staff requests Commission approval of this request. Upon a motion by Mr. Downes, seconded by Mr. Varner and unanimously carried, the Commission approved the proposal for professional services for an Emergency Response Time Study for the proposed Fire Station #5 and #9 in the amount of $5,200. (7) Proposal for close -out of the AirGas and Ziolkowski demolition projects. Mr. Schalliol noted that the city had hired Wightman Petrie to provide onsite oversight of the demolition projects for AirGas and Ziolkowski Construction. In the process of demolition, extra tanks were found, and there were complications removing the AirGas building due to the fact that it was nearly physically adjoined to the Hamilton Towing building to the immediate north. The total amounts of overage for the professional services were $9,522.50.
