South Bend Redevelopment Commission <br /> Regular Meeting—October 11, 2011 <br /> 6. NEW BUSINESS (CONT.) <br /> B. Airport Economic Development Area <br /> (1) continued... <br /> green boulevards with water canals from the <br /> northeast and northwest to the circle, as well <br /> as the circle's canal and retention pool. <br /> Other utilities will be designed as standard <br /> construction with the ability to add <br /> ecosystem components in the future. The <br /> construction cost estimate for Phase 1B is <br /> $9,230,186. <br /> Architectural services for the development of <br /> the 1B Infrastructure can be broken into <br /> phases comprised of design development, <br /> construction documentation, and bidding and <br /> construction administration. Ms. Hathaway <br /> noted that at this time staff would like to <br /> proceed with the design development phase, <br /> including 3rd party pricing. BSA's proposal <br /> for that phase is only $335,000. If the 3rd <br /> party construction estimate is acceptable, <br /> Economic Development will return to the <br /> Commission requesting authorization for <br /> BSA to accomplish the remaining phases. <br /> Ms. Hathaway noted that if the Commission <br /> expects to attract innovative and <br /> entrepreneurial businesses, we must act in a <br /> similar fashion. Approving this next step in <br /> the process to develop Ignition Park, as a <br /> park differentiated from other technology <br /> parks, will move us forward in that direction. <br /> The Department of Economic Development <br /> requests approval of this BSA Life Structures <br /> proposal for Phase 1B design development in <br /> the amount of$335,000. <br /> 11 <br />
