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 /> 9 <br />
