South Bend <br />Redevelopment Commission <br />215 S. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Blvd., Room 301, South Bend, Indiana <br />Redevelopment Commission Agenda Item <br />DATE : January 22, 2024 <br />FROM: Leslie Biek, PE <br />Assistant City Engineer <br />SUBJECT: Budget Request- Mishawaka Streetscape <br />PN 121-072; PROJ 308 <br />Funding Source* (circle) River West; River East; South Side; Douglas Road; West Washington; RDC General; Riv. East Res. <br />* Funds are subject to the City Controller's determination of availability; if funds are unavailable, as solely determined by the City Controller, <br />then the authorization of the expenditure of such funds shall be void and of no effect. <br />PURPOSE OF REQUEST: <br />This budget request is for $200,000 to pay for unforeseen railroad tie and concrete removal that conflicted <br />with the placement of the curb on Mishawaka Avenue east of the railroad overpass. <br />SPECIFICS: <br />This budget request is for $200,000 to pay for unforeseen change orders for the Mishawaka Streetscape <br />project. The main unforeseen item was the removal of railroad ties where two sets of tracks were located <br />for the old trolley line. The railroad ties also were encased in concrete that also needed to be removed. The <br />railroad ties and concrete conflicted with the placement of the curb and inlets on Mishawaka Avenue east <br />of the railroad overpass on the south side of the road. This is in addition to the previous RDC request of <br />$3,500,000 and $400,000 from Storm Water funds. There is currently $387,000 unencumbered in the <br />project and we have an outstanding change order to increase the contact amount by an additional <br />$565,000. <br />It is requested the Redevelopment commission approve an additional $200,000 from River East TIF to <br />cover the remaining construction funding for the Mishawaka Streetscape project. <br />Thank you for your consideration of this request. <br />______________ ___________President <br />ATTEST: __________ <br />Date: _____________ <br /> APPROVED <br /> _______Secretary <br />_______ <br /> Not Approved <br />SOUTH BEND REDEVELOPMENT COMMISSION <br />January 22, 2026 <br />
