South Bend Redevelopment Commission <br />Regular Meeting —July 26, 2012 <br />6. NEW BUSINESS (CONT.) <br />B. Airport Economic Development Area <br />(1) Proposal for environmental services <br />related to 635 S. Lafayette Blvd. (Ivy <br />Tower building) <br />Ms. Kolata noted that the Commission has <br />entered into an MOU with Union Station <br />Properties that includes environmental <br />remediation at the current Ivy Tower <br />property. That included providing a Phase I <br />and Phase II Environmental Assessment, <br />including assessment of asbestos and lead <br />based paint currently in the building. <br />Recently we have determined. that a third <br />environmental issue, transformers and <br />associated PCBs, will need to be addressed <br />as part of the site clean -up. There are four <br />transformer rooms and each unit within the <br />rooms will need to be investigated and likely <br />need remediation. Also, the concrete floors <br />of the transformer rooms need to be <br />investigated to determine whether PCB <br />contamination is present and, if so, what <br />remediation needs to take place. Weaver <br />Boos was selected to handle the remediation <br />based on their work at the former foundry <br />demolition, handling a complicated <br />remediation in a very efficient manner. <br />Weaver Boos will also assist us in <br />coordinating the remediation work with the <br />rehabilitation of the building by the private <br />developer. <br />The Proposal outlines the following four <br />tasks: <br />1. Review the environmental <br />information that is currently available <br />and conduct a comprehensive walk <br />Z <br />
