6. OLDIBUSINESS (Cont'd Relating to Commissioner Robinson's question if anyone has checked to make sure there aren't any more checks that may have bounced on this firm, Mr. Brownell advised that an agreement has been worked out between the contractor and one of our local banks. No motion required. 7. NEWI BUSINESS a. Barton- Aschman Associates, Inc.: This is a' proposal to prepare BARTON- an evaluation and financial analysis of the parking improvements ASCHMAN required to serve the proposed Superblock Development °in down- ASSOCIATES, town South Bend, which was discussed on May 19 with ther re- INC. PROPOSAL presentative. Although principal emphasis would be placed on APPROVED, the parking aspects of the Superblock, the study would also R -66 address the broader question of municipal parking in the adja- cent area of the Central Business District. Mr. Brownell advised a copy of the proposal is in the packets and the recommendation is that we accept the proposal in the lower amount; the higher amount is $14,120 in which Barton - Aschman Associates performs all the work. The lower proposal recommended is for $12,620 in which the City would be responsi- ble for the field data assembly (the inventory and`occupancy studies) with a fee reduction of $1,500 for this work. We have made arrangements to have the field work done by the employees of the City. The difference between the two proposals, Mr. Brownell stated, is that the estimated 200 man hours of field work would be done by present employees of the City. Some of this has already been assembled and it would be done under Barton- Aschman Associates' supervision, but not by their personnel, so we would save $1,500. Commissioner Wiggins asked if this is being done in part by the people who are employed under this federally- funded program? Mr. Brownell advised it would be under Community Development. Motion was made by Mr. Wiggins, seconded by Mr. Donaldson and carried, for the approval of the above proposal submitted by Barton- Aschman Associates, Inc. to prepare the evaluation and financial analysis of the parking improvements, in an amount not to exceed $12,620 as noted in their proposal, and the Com- mission President and Secretary authorized to enter into such agreement. b.
