South Bend Redevelopment Commission <br />Regular Me Ling - October 17, 1980 <br />6. NEW BUSINESS <br />d. co6tinued... <br />. Baumgartner; Sixty three additional. <br />Just for the Commission's benefit, I would like to <br />introduce David Daren. Dave is the Assistant <br />Director of the Bureau. Dave has come to us very <br />qualified and is helping us with our Field Staff <br />and is, in essence, whipping them into shape so <br />th t we have the proper perspective and we are <br />en orcing code as it should be enforced. <br />Ms Derbeck: You have 33 contracts here and you <br />ca expect 63 more, right? <br />Mr$. Baumgartner: Right. <br />Ms Derbeck: How many instances were there <br />where you had to call the contractor back? <br />Mrs. Baumgartner: In those cases, on every house <br />we are calling them back. As you recall, we had <br />four contractors for each job because we bid in <br />component parts of electrical, plumbing, heating, <br />and general construction. So for the most part <br />there are problems with some component on each <br />house. However, with the 312 loans, we did have <br />20 homes that there was no problem with. <br />Ms Derbeck: Could you estimate how many there <br />ar ? <br />Mrs. Baumgartner: I would say all of them. Not <br />to make it sound like the contractors were con- <br />certed on a big rip -off of one sort or another., <br />A number of times there were additional items <br />also done in the house, and so it was a lack of <br />the proper paperwork being processed by the <br />Bu eau. There should have been a corrected change <br />or er either for money or not for money, or at <br />least an equal exchange change order. So there <br />may not be one item done but, perhaps, the con- <br />tractor did another item. However we noted that <br />th t item was not completed and we did have to <br />cite the contractor. He can then counter us say - <br />in , however I did this, and that is a satisfactory <br />an wer. <br />22 <br />
