South Bed Redevelopment Commission <br />Regular Meeting — August 16, 2012 <br />5. OLDS BUSINESS (CONT.) <br />A. Airport Economic Development Area <br />) continued... <br />Mr. Relos noted that on March 13, 2012, the <br />Commission approved Resolution No. 3009 <br />authorizing the Board of Public Works to act <br />as its agent for the Memorial Hospital Fagade <br />Project (fagade project), for new facades to <br />the Skyway Bridge and Skyway Building. <br />When the fagade project was planned, it <br />included window replacement on the west <br />and south sides of the building. Because of <br />construction estimates, the window <br />replacement was removed to keep the project <br />within budget. <br />On May 15, 2012, bids were opened on the <br />fagade project, coming in well below <br />construction estimates. <br />On May 31, 2012, the Commission approved <br />a professional services agreement with the <br />Troyer Group to prepare the necessary <br />designs, construction bid specs, and <br />construction oversight, for this project. <br />Funding is available to replace these <br />windows, and their replacement will allow <br />windows in the Skyway Building and the <br />Skyway Bridge to match. <br />This window replacement project will help <br />tie the Memorial Hospital campus into a <br />unified look, will make a dramatic entrance <br />corridor into the downtown core and <br />compliment the work that has recently been <br />completed north of La Salle between <br />Michigan and Lafayette. <br />V. <br />
