AGENDA REVIEW SESSION AUGUST 6 2015 257 He noted it was very expensive with additional valves and smaller water mains on the side streets, but will save money in the long term. Change Order - Western Ave. Corridor Improvements Mr. Toy Villa stated this $100,343.52 decrease is due to the elimination of white topping near the Kroc Center. He explained the existing asphalt was not deep enough for milling so the topping would not bind. Mr. Villa stated by using asphalt instead, the cost was decreased from $163,870.00 to $59,381.48. Mr. Gilot asked if asphalt was in the original bid. Mr. Villa stated it was so they already had unit prices in the contract for the asphalt. - Project Completion Affidavit – Parking Garage Islands Removal Mr. Toy Villa, Engineering, stated this work gives a total of twenty -five (25) more parking spaces in the two (2) parking garages - Adopt Revised City of South Bend Specifications and Standard Details for Utility Cuts Mr. Roger Nawrot, Engineering, stated they are still in the process of putting the final touches on these specifications, but the big change is the addition of a requirement of utilities to replace the holes they put in traffic lanes when doing utility work. He noted they will be required to mill down and replace the lane, not just the hole. Attorney Michael Schmidt stated this is similar to what other counties have, such as Elkhart and Mishawaka. Mr. Gilot questioned how far they need to replace and stated they will need to define the "length of the lane ". Release of Right of Entry and Temporary Easement Agreement Mr. Roger Nawrot, Engineering, stated these are easements that were part of the original project at Waggoner's Farm on Dylan Drive, and the design concept allowed for each property to take in the runoff water into their own basin. He noted it is all part of a platting project. Mr. Gilot stated the City will need to disclaim responsibility for storm water runoff on these. No other business came before the Board.
