6. NEW BUSINESS (Cont'd) b Chan a Order No. 4 to Phase II -A: Mr. Taylor advisei this is for the tunnel from the proposed parking struct re north of Washington Street and West of St. Joseph Street to the north end of the Cultural Center site. In the November 19, 1971 meeting, the Commission direct d the Engineer Consultant to proceed with the design of a tunnel, 12' 6" high x 25' wide, with two 9' lan s and 3' 6" sidewalks on either side, under St. Joseph Street and through the retaining wall. They have comple ed the design and have an estimate of $112,000 for the tunnel construction. The design plans were sent to Howell Construction Company, who has the contract for Phase I -A, to give us a price on this Change Order. Their price Js $130,517.18, with a credit of $6,513.80, or a net amount of $124,003.38. President Helmen said they had operated under the assump- tion before that the cost of the 28' x 12' tunnel would be something in the neighborhood of $60,000; now it is almost double - -new cost is almost unacceptable. Mr. Wiggins moved in line with the discussion that the Executive Director be directed to request the design con- sultants to give us a cost estimate for a 12' wide by 8` high, box -type tunnel, and that we hold any action on the change order until we have the new figures.
