We have <br />appreciated being able to be of service to you in the past and hope to be afforded the opportunity to <br />provide you with our services for this project. <br />UNDERSTANDING OF THE ASSIGNMENT <br />The City of South Bend Venues Parks and Arts has decided to install the automated gates at the west <br />entrance to the Century Center Parking Lot in downtown South Bend. JPR originally designed the current <br />entrance back in 2018 with the intention of these gates being installed in the future. <br />Based on previous discussions, it is thought that the necessary conduit and pull wires were installed at <br />the time of the 2018 reconfiguration and that this phase of design and plans should require gate locations, <br />foundations and electrical connections. <br />It is also understood that the VPA would like to look at solutions to the existing and deteriorating asphalt <br />parking lot surface and maintenance drives around the Century Center Building. This may include crack <br />filling, patching and resealing, a milling and resurfacing or other possible solution. <br />JPR currently possesses the existing survey and as-built information for the entrance gate, but the City of <br />South Bend may have additional existing topographic survey for the parking lot area and additional areas <br />around the building that may require repaving. <br />The City anticipates that the first task of the entrance gates will be sent out as a quote package due, and <br />the second task of sealing or repaving may be sent out as either a quote or bid.
