South Bend edevelopment Commission <br />Regular Meeting - July 11, 1980 <br />5. OLD BUS <br />a. Mr.lEllison continues... <br />been a long difficult effort, but we <br />are at a point where we need assistance <br />froin Baird $ Warner. <br />Mr. Nimtz: Mr. Butler, do you have any <br />co ents about the contract? <br />Mr. Butler: No. <br />Mr. Nimtz: Mr. Hill do you have any <br />co ents? <br />Mr. Richard Hill: Just to reiterate on what <br />Mr. Ellison said in that I think the work is <br />essentially to come up in a relatively short <br />period of time with a report to the Commission <br />in terms of the economic feasibility of going <br />ahead with the project. At the same time, <br />Gruen Associates will be working with further <br />design of the project. Gruen would be able <br />to work closely with Baird & Warner in terms <br />of the interior design and how that would be <br />tak ng shape. <br />Mr. Cira: W. Ellison, did I hear you say.. <br />a minimum of $10,000 or a maximum of $10,000? <br />Mr. Ellison: It is actually a minimum. In <br />the event the contract is terminated for some <br />reason after thirty or forty days they will <br />still get $10,000.00. In order to make it <br />worthwhile for them to provide this kind of <br />se ice they need minimum protection. <br />Mr. Robinson: What are they going to do <br />other than conduct a survey and make a <br />recommendation whether they feel a project <br />of this nature would be successful? What <br />else is going to be entailed? <br />Mr. Ellison: Mr. Robinson, essentially, <br />their are going to work with Gruen to take <br />the project to the next step. We have had <br />it at the broad conceptual stage where we <br />have a model that is a picture of the <br />possibility. In order to put that into a <br />position where you can take it to a bank, <br />the retail expertise is necessary because <br />that is something the City does not have. <br />Q7 <br />
