South Bend Redevelopment Commission <br /> Regular Meeting—November 8, 2011 <br /> 6. NEW BUSINESS (CONT.) <br /> D. Airport Economic Development Area <br /> (1) continued... <br /> Though much work remains, staff wishes to <br /> thank the Commission for the approvals <br /> necessary to carry out this project. It will <br /> expand Ignition Park by an additional 23 <br /> acres, and help stabilize the Rum Village <br /> neighborhood to the immediate south of this <br /> planning area. <br /> Ms. King asked how many properties that are <br /> under city control have been demolished. <br /> Mr. Relos responded that about half of them <br /> have been demolished. <br /> (2) Proposal for professional services related <br /> to installation of dedication plaque at the <br /> James Oliver sculpture. <br /> Mr. Sikora noted that the final element to <br /> complete the James Oliver Memorial Plaza <br /> project is to have a plaque installed to <br /> identify and recognize the sculptor of the <br /> James Oliver sculpture. The plaque was part <br /> of the city's contractual obligations in <br /> commissioning the sculpture. <br /> This professional service proposal will allow <br /> Danch, Harner& Associates, the project <br /> designer, to coordinate the design, fabrication <br /> and installation of the dedication plaque. <br /> South Bend Monuments has helped with <br /> initial pricing of the plaque and the total <br /> projected cost of the entire process is $1,200. <br /> Staff requests approval of a not-to-exceed <br /> budget of$1,500 to cover any unforeseen <br /> expenses that might arise during the design, <br /> fabrication and installation process. <br /> 14 <br />
