South Bend Redevelopment Commission <br /> Regular Meeting—October 25, 2011 <br /> 4. COMMUNICATIONS <br /> There were no Communications. THERE WERE NO COMMUNICATIONS <br /> 5. OLD BUSINESS <br /> A. South Bend Central Development Area <br /> (1) Update on Century Center Island <br /> Pavilion. <br /> Mr. Inks noted there is a report on the <br /> Century Center Island Pavilion. <br /> Mr. Relos noted that on July 26, 2011, the <br /> Commission approved a project budget of <br /> $565,000 for the Century Center Island <br /> Pavilion and drainage system. On October <br /> 20, 2011, bids were opened, with a low bid <br /> of$659,940 for the project. The increased <br /> cost of the project could be attributed to the <br /> uncertainty of what lays below the island, <br /> where the supports for the pavilion have to <br /> go. Those engineering aspects are currently <br /> reviewed and could possibly be altered. Staff <br /> asks that the additional $94,940 for the <br /> project be approved to allow the pavilion <br /> support system to be installed yet this year. <br /> Staff sees this as an upper limit and if the <br /> project can be engineered for less then that <br /> that would be great. By approving this <br /> today, it would allow the Board of Public <br /> Works to approve the low bid, get the <br /> underground support system done this year <br /> so early next spring the pavilion itself can be <br /> constructed, in time for spring events. <br /> Mr. Downes questioned whether the cost <br /> could be less then that. Mr. Lamie, ADG, <br /> responded yes. Mr. Lamie went on to say the <br /> biggest cost component of the original <br /> approval was the tinsel membrane structure. <br /> 4 <br />
