South Bend Redevelopment Commission <br /> Regular Meeting—August 16, 2012 <br /> 5. OLD BUSINESS (CONT.) <br /> A. Airport Economic Development Area <br /> (1) continued... <br /> Mr. Relos noted that on March 13, 2012, the <br /> Commission approved Resolution No. 3009 <br /> authorizing the Board of Public Works to act <br /> as its agent for the Memorial Hospital Facade <br /> Project (facade project), for new facades to <br /> the Skyway Bridge and Skyway Building. <br /> When the facade project was planned, it <br /> included window replacement on the west <br /> and south sides of the building. Because of <br /> construction estimates, the window <br /> replacement was removed to keep the project <br /> within budget. <br /> On May 15, 2012, bids were opened on the <br /> facade project, coming in well below <br /> construction estimates. <br /> On May 31, 2012, the Commission approved <br /> a professional services agreement with the <br /> Troyer Group to prepare the necessary <br /> designs, construction bid specs, and <br /> construction oversight, for this project. <br /> Funding is available to replace these <br /> windows, and their replacement will allow <br /> windows in the Skyway Building and the <br /> Skyway Bridge to match. <br /> This window replacement project will help <br /> tie the Memorial Hospital campus into a <br /> unified look, will make a dramatic entrance <br /> corridor into the downtown core and <br /> compliment the work that has recently been <br /> completed north of La Salle between <br /> Michigan and Lafayette. <br /> 4 <br />
