(DTSB) is leading an effort to bring more <br /> energy and vitality to the St. Joseph River that runs through the heart of downtown. <br /> Highlighting the river for the purpose of economic development and visitor attraction, as well <br /> as for recreational purposes, has been outlined in many studies, including City Plan, the <br /> official comprehensive plan for the City of South Bend. <br /> DTSB is seeking to accomplish this goal through the installation of a lighting sculpture along <br /> the river. They have solicited the expertise of Rob Shakespeare to design and install the <br /> project. Shakespeare is a professional lighting designer specializing in theater and dramatic <br /> architectural designs. With more than 200 lighting designs, his work has been seen <br /> throughout three continents on renowned theaters, resorts, skyscrapers, and some of the <br /> world's largest bridges. <br /> In July 2012 Mr. Shakespeare conducted a site visit and met with several area stakeholders <br /> delivering some preliminary concepts of a river lighting project. The attached proposal from <br /> Shakespeare Lighting Design will look at taking the concept design to a reality by creating a <br /> lighting site plan, luminaries and lamp specifications, luminaries price estimates and other <br /> special drawings or analyses deemed necessary for the project. <br /> Staff requests approval of the proposal from Shakespeare Lighting Design in the amount of <br /> $12,550 from the SBCDA TIF. <br /> 7 <br />
