04 October 2011 Geri Hathaway c/o Innovation Park at Notre Dame 1400 E. Angela Blvd. South Bend, IN 46697 Re: Ignition Park- Infrastructure Design Phase 1B (Design Development) South Bend, IN Dear Geri: BSA LifeStructures is pleased to submit a proposal for the site infrastructure design services required to develop Phase 1B of Ignition Park. This specific proposal is for Design Development drawings only. However, a breakdown of the fees for the entire project is included in a table below. As is standard practice, these fees also include construction supervision throughout the duration of the construction for this scope of work. It is our understanding that the preferred process for design of Phase 1B would be for BSA LifeStructures to complete Design Development drawings of the site (approximately 306 complete drawings) and then have the cost evaluated by a third party prior to completing Construction Documents and taking the project out for bid. If the City decides the cost of the project is not viable at the Design Development review, or that the scope of work needs to be reduced due to budgetary concerns, the remainder of the fees noted in the table below would need to be modified prior to extending BSA LifeStructures' contract beyond the Design Development level covered under this proposal. Based on the Master Plan, the following scope will be necessary for the design: • New roadways connecting from the 4 sides of the site to the center round -about will be constructed along with their associated pedestrian walks, rain gardens, street lighting and signage. • The two pedestrian green boulevards heading out form the center of the site to the northeast and northwest will be developed. • The remainder of the site will be graded and seeded with prairie grasses. • A storm water management system, including a series of rain gardens, canals and a retention basin will be installed as well as the wells and pumping facilities required to properly control the system. • Design of the utility infrastructure including looping of the primary systems around the center round - about: power, communications, water, sewer and storm water. • The center plaza, green space and minimal parking will be designed as well.
