This total contract will <br />be advertised and awarded by the Board of Public Works of the City of <br />South Bend. This work constitutes the City's share of the required <br />match for EDA Funds, and is necessary to complete the project. <br />The total project costs are estimated to be approximately $1,860,000. <br />The additional matching funds required to provide fifty per cent of <br />the project costs are provided by the Toll Road separation structure <br />now being constructed by St. Joseph County. <br />In addition to serving the Industrial Park, this improvement will serve <br />and benefit other commercial land along Bendix Drive and north of Cleve- <br />land Road. This improvement will relieve the congestion now occurring <br />on Bendix Drive during peak -hour traffic conditions. <br />Your favorable consideration of this appropriation is recommended. <br />Very truly yours, / <br />Rollin E. Farrand, P. E. <br />Director <br />REF:amc <br />
