7. <br />PROGRESS REPORTS (Cont'd) <br />Three (3) designs are to be selected by the judges <br />from the scale models of the entries. The awarding <br />of the sculptural pieces will be made by the Re- <br />development Commission and will be the first item <br />on the Agenda, under New Business, in Commission <br />meeting of February 1, 1974, and the winners an- <br />nounced. The three winning sculptors each will <br />receive a commission of $7,,000 and three honorable <br />mention prizes of $250 each also will be awarded. <br />The Sculpture Committee, which made the final selec- <br />tion of judges from an original list of 40 prospects, <br />comprises: Harold Zisla, associate professor, De- <br />partment of Fine Arts, Indiana University of South <br />Bend; Vincenzo Mangione, director, South Bend Art <br />Center; Edward E. Herrmann,.South Bend commercial <br />artist; Jeff Rausch, Environmental Planning and <br />Design, Pittsburgh, Pa., designers of the River <br />Bend Plaza; and Edwin R. Bauer, director of plan- <br />ning for the Redevelopment Department. The judges <br />chosen were recommended by the Sculpture Committee <br />and approved by the Redevelopment Commission. <br />The estimated cost is included in the $7,000 com- <br />mission allotted to the winning sculptors. We <br />also have $3,000 to date in the Bill Rasmussen <br />Memorial Fund. We will enter into a contract <br />with each of the winners and they cannot exceed <br />the amount of the commission. <br />2) Construction Schedule Update: Mr. Lennon advised <br />we have a weekly construction schedule with dis- <br />tribution to all news media and other interested <br />parties. These are also published in the South <br />Bend Tribune, usually the Sunday edition. There <br />is not much going on now with the exception of <br />bushhammering on the planter walls, pulling wires <br />and beginning brick work on planter edging be- <br />tween Monroe and Western Avenue. We anticipate <br />getting some of the supports for the canopies <br />and these will be installed as they are received. <br />This is about all going on in the Mall construc- <br />tion. <br />A monthly construction schedule is also distri- <br />buted to above individuals and all the downtown <br />offices and retailers. <br />- 14 - <br />CONSTRUCTION <br />SCHEDULE UPDATE, <br />R -66 <br />
