South Bend Redevelopment Commission <br /> Regular Meeting—January 10. 2013 <br /> 6. NEW BUSINESS <br /> D. Airport Economic Development Area <br /> (3) continued... <br /> once the weather breaks in the spring. The current payment period from October 22 to <br /> December I generated a claim in the total of$1,884. The rate for the barricades was based <br /> on a daily charge. Because the rental period will be more protracted than first expected, in <br /> coordination with staff at State Barricade, I have asked for a proposal to maintain the <br /> barricade system until June 1, 2013. The projected amount for this service period is S4,180. <br /> Staff requests approval of a not-to-exceed amount of$4,500 to cover the projected amount <br /> and all outstanding claims. <br /> Mr. Varner asked whether State Barricading Inc. also maintains the barricades once they are <br /> in place. Mr. Schalliol responded that they check them approximately three times a week <br /> and, if there are any issues, they will repair or replace them. <br /> Upon a motion by Mr. Alford, seconded by Mr. Downes and unanimously carried, the <br /> Commission approved the proposal from State Barricading for the scope of services <br /> proposed in an amount not to exceed $4,500. <br /> E.
