March 7, 2012 City of South Bend Community and Economic Development 1200 County -City Building 227 W. Jefferson Blvd. South Bend, IN 46601 Attention: Mr. Bill Schalliol, Economic Development Specialist RE: PROPOSAL FOR ASBESTOS SURVEY AND PROPOSED TEAM STORE FACILITY, 420 S. INDIANA, PROPOSAL # WP 12 -013 Dear Mr. Schalliol: LEAD BASED PAINT SURVEY, WILLIAM STREET, SOUTH BEND, Wightman Petrie is pleased to submit this proposal for performing Professional Consulting Services in support of the potential redevelopment of the former synagogue site, located at 420 S. William Street, South Bend, Indiana. The facility, originally constructed in 1901 as a synagogue, was partially renovated by a private individual seeking to convert the building into a private residence. However, with more recent improvements and re- development of the area around Coveleski Stadium, the City of South Bend acquired the property for transition as a Team Store facility for the South Bend Silver Hawks. With any major renovation /demolition activity, the Indiana Department of Environmental Management requires the completion of an asbestos - containing material survey as a means of recognition, and protection, to workers from the hazards presented by exposure to asbestos. Similarly, given the age, and condition of the facility, the potential exists for the presence of lead -based paint. Again the identification of lead - based paint is essential for the protection of construction workers that may be engaged in the sanding, cutting or scraping of surfaces prior to repainting and /or refinishing activities. It is such sanding, cutting and scraping activity that can generate fine particles that are easily inhaled or ingested, thereby resulting in an industrial exposure under current Occupational Safety and Health guidelines. Wightman Petrie understands that the subject site has been developed as a two story, brick structure with stone foundations of approximately 3,825 sq. ft., inclusive of approximately 815 sq. ft. as a basement and approximately 415 sq. ft. mezzanine level, accessible by an interior staircase. The facility was constructed with a gable roof with decorative building spires and elongated, wooden framed windows of approximately 15 -ft. in height. All mechanical systems, historically a boiler system for heat, have been removed from their original location within the basement. Flooring within the building is wooden, with walls being a combination of plaster finish and gypsum drywall (more recent renovations). The following proposed Scope of Services further details the approach for each of the requested tasks.
