South Bend Redevelopment Commission <br />Regular Meeting -July 21, 2000 <br />6. NEW BUSINESS (CONT.) <br />j. Commission approval requested for proposal <br />for professional services in the South Bend <br />Central Development Area. (Removal of <br />Dead/Dying Tree at 613 South St.) <br />Mr. Giulioni asked that this item be tabled due to <br />lack of estimates from tree removal services. <br />k. Commission approval requested for proposal <br />for professional services in the South Bend <br />Central Development Area. (General lawn <br />maintenance of various South Bend Central <br />Development Area properties) <br />Mr. Giulioni noted that certain properties owned <br />by the Redevelopment Commission are not <br />receiving the attention to their exterior property <br />maintenance that they deserve. To ensure that <br />these properties are better taken care of, the staff <br />recommended that the Commission retain a <br />private company to be responsible for the <br />necessary maintenance, such as grass cutting and <br />weed control. He also noted that due to the <br />current seasonal demand for landscape <br />maintenance, the staff was only able to get one <br />quote. That quote was provided by H.S. Altman <br />Inc. The quote includes an initial clean-up and <br />then bi- weekly care. The cost of the initial clean <br />up will be approximately $225.00 for Parcel B <br />and $220.00 for ParcelC. Parcel A will not have <br />an initial clean-up cost. The cost of the bi- <br />weekly care will be $55.00 per parcel. Mr. <br />Giulioni stated that the staff considers the <br />estimate provided to be reasonable and <br />recommended that the Commission authorize <br />H.S. Altman, Inc. to proceed with the clean-up. <br />-18- <br />COMMISSION TABLED ITEM 6.J <br />TO THE NEXT MEETING ON <br />AUGUST 04, 2000 <br />
