AUGUST 2, 1993
The regular meeting of the Board of Public Works was convened at
9:35 a.m. on Monday, August 2, 1993, by Board President John E.
Leszczynski, with Mr. Leszczynski, Mr. James R. Caldwell and Mrs.
Mary H. Mueller present.
APPROVE MINUTES OF PREVIOUS MEETING
Upon a motion made by Mr. Caldwell, seconded by Mrs. Mueller and
carried, the minutes of the regular meeting of the Board held on
July 26, 1993, were approved.
AWARD BID - FOUR (4) HEAVY DUTY TYPE ASPHALT HOT BOXES
Mr. Leszczynski advised that the Board is in receipt of a letter
from Mr. Matthew L. Chlebowski, Director, Division of Equipment
Services, advising that, on behalf of the Bureau of Streets, he
requests that the Board award the bid of Newman Equipment, Inc.,
1315 Terminal Road, Indianapolis, Indiana, as follows:
Aeroil Model HHE4T Unit Price $18,058.75
Total Price (4 Units) $72,235.00
Less Trade -In $ 1,100.00
Net Total $71,135.00
Mr. Chlebowski noted that Newman Equipment, Inc. was not the low
bidder for this equipment. The low bidder, Aggregate Construction
Equipment & Supply, 2222 West Washington, South Bend, Indiana, bid
a non -jacketed box. The specifications for this equipment called
for a twelve gauge heat jacket as the City is going from propane
to electric. The jacketed and insulated box will create more even
heat throughout the night which will help in start up. Mr.
Chlebowski stated that Newman Equipment submitted the lowest bid
for a jacketed box.
Therefore, Mrs. Mueller made a motion that the low bid of
Aggregate Construction Equipment & Supply be rejected as it failed
to meet specifications and that the bid of the next lowest bidder,
Newman Equipment, Inc., be awarded. Mr. Caldwell seconded the
motion which carried.

REGULAR MEETING AUGUST 2, 1993
Mr. Leszczynski made a motion that the recommendation be accepted
and the bid be awarded. Mr. Caldwell seconded the motion which
carried.
APPROVE CERTIFICATIONS AND DESCRIPTIONS - VOORDE PARK MINOR
SUBDIVISION
Mr. Leszczynski advised that submitted to the Board today for
approval and signature was a document containing the
certifications and descriptions for Voorde Park Minor Subdivision.
Mr. Leszczynski noted that this establishes the property around
Voorde Park by legal description, as opposed to meets and bounds,
and makes it an actual subdivision. Mr. Caldwell made a motion
that the document submitted to the Board be approved and signed.
Mrs. Mueller seconded the motion which carried.
APPROVE CHANGE ORDER NO. 2 - BLACKTHORN CLUBHOUSE
Mr. Leszczynski indicated that Ziolkowski Construction, Inc., 1005
South Lafayette Boulevard, Box 1106, South Bend, Indiana, has
submitted Change Order No. 2, for the above referred to project,
indicating that the Contract amount be increased by $19,600.00 for
a new Contract sum, including this Change Order, in the amount of
$741,630.00. Mr. Leszczynski noted that this increase is the
result of electrical work at the pump house. Upon a motion made
by Mr. Caldwell, seconded by Mrs. Mueller and carried, the Change
Order was approved.
APPROVE CHANGE ORDER NO. 1 (FINAL) AND PROJECT COMPLETION
AFFIDAVIT - AVANTI BUILDING DEMOLITION PROJECT
Mr. Leszczynski stated that Warner and Sons, Inc., P.O. Box 87,
Elkhart, Indiana, has submitted Change Order No. 1 (Final)
indicating that the Contract amount be increased by $135,989.15
for a new Contract sum, including this Change Order, in the amount
of $334,396.65. Additionally submitted was the Project Completion
Affidavit indicating this new final cost.
In a Memorandum to the Board, Mr. Bob Allen, Bureau of Public
Construction, advised that there were several unknown
environmental problems associated with this project.
A cistern full of contaminated material was found along the north
property line. This had to be disposed of according to the
Indiana Department of Environmental Management guidelines. Two
(2) underground storage tanks were also found. These tanks had
been leaking into the ground and required removal of the
contaminated soil from around the tanks. A sump pit filled with
an oil like substance was found under the building along the east
property line. This pit had to be pumped out and removed. And
finally, the tunnel system under the building was more extensive
than anticipated. Since this building had been unoccupied for
many years, very little information was available on the location
of these items. There was no way of knowing how extensive the
contamination was until these items were exposed and sampling
conducted.
Mr. Caldwell made a motion that Change Order No. 1 (Final) and the
Project Completion Affidavit be approved. Mrs. Mueller seconded
the motion which carried.
Board Attorney and Member Mary H. Mueller noted that, for the
record, although this increase by sixty-eight per cent (68%) is
significantly in excess of the twenty per cent (20%) limitation
set by state law, its meets the exception for that requirement as
the additional work was unforeseen and does not change the project
description or scope.

In conjunction with Donmoyer

Mr. Robert Berman, 1118 East Woodside Street, South Bend, Indiana,
1
REGULAR MEETING
AUGUST 2, 1993
was present and addressed the Board concerning the recent change
on Donmoyer, to one way westbound, from Miami to Woodside.
Mr. Berman submitted to the Board a Petition signed by all
residents of Woodside Street, between Miami and Donmoyer Street.
The Petition requests the immediate reversal of the recently
enacted change on a short section of Donmoyer from two-way to one-
way, west bound. Mr. Berman stated that this change has greatly
increased traffic on Woodside placing the lives of the children in
danger.
Mr. Berman read to members of the Board the Petition which was
signed by seven (7) residents of Woodside Street.
After reading the Petition, Mr. Berman advised members of the
Board that the residents of Woodside were surprised by this change
as they were not notified. He noted that only one resident, Mrs.
Mary Fahey, 1137 Woodside, was advised and she informed the City
that she would rather have the traffic going one way in the other
direction. Mr. Berman again reiterated that they were not
notified and because there are quite a few children in the
neighborhood, and because traffic has greatly increased, they
would like an immediate reversal of the one-way designation.
Mr. Leszczynski inquired of Mr. Berman just how greatly the
traffic has increased on Woodside. Mr. Berman stated that
previously they had very few cars come down the street and those
that did were mainly residents. Now, they have cars that are
going through to get to Twyckenham.
Mrs. Mary Christy Szarwark, 1140 East Woodside, South Bend,
Indiana, informed members of the Board that the curvature of
Donmoyer does not access cars properly and is a nightmare. Cars
have been known to end up in the front yards of the homes on
Donmoyer. Mrs. Szarwark stated that cars speed through Donmoyer
as a shortcut to get to Twyckenham. Even though she does not want
the traffic diverted to Woodside either, the safety of the
pedestrians, including school age children, utilizing the
sidewalks must be considered.
Mrs. Szarwark noted that there are as many children on Donmoyer as
there are on Woodside. There are approximately fifty-six (56)
children attending Stanley Clark School that are in the area as
well as people walking to the Temple.
In conclusion, Mrs. Szarwark noted that since the installation of
the one-way designation, she has noticed a fifty per cent (50%)
reduction in traffic and is in favor of the one-way designation.
Ms. Ann Riley, 1157 Donmoyer, South Bend, Indiana, advised that
last month a car parked in front of her residence was hit by
someone speeding down the curve. A similar accident occurred
three (3) weeks later on the opposite side of the street. Ms.
Riley stated that she has a young child and the area has very
heavy pedestrian traffic. Ms. Riley asked that the Board endorse
the proposal for this one-way designation.
Mr. Abe Ginter, 1103 Woodside, South Bend, Indiana, addressed the
Board and stated that he has been a resident of Woodside for the
past forty-two (42) years. With the one-way designation on
Donmoyer, the neighborhood has experienced much more traffic.
They too, have many children and pedestrians that utilize the
sidewalks. Mr. Ginter stated that, in the past, their
neighborhood has also had its share of trees knocked down. He
stated that he feels for the people on Donmoyer but they also have
people and children on Woodside.
Ms. Sally Hauck, 2912 Marine, South Bend, Indiana, stated that
66
REGULAR MEETING AUGUST 2, 1993
they feel safe and comfortable with this one-way designation. She
further stated that they are very concerned about the safety of
their children and with the trees all knocked down by previous
accidents there is nothing left to block the cars that are out of
control.
Dr. Tom Hauck, 2912 Marine, South Bend, Indiana, indicated that he
is not sure what the best solution would be, but is glad that the
City has come to grips and is trying to address the problem. Dr.
Hauck read off for the Board a list of accidents that occurred
from 1987 to the present at their location. He noted that on
several occasions, during the winter, he contacted Mr. Sam Hensley
of the Street Department concerning the condition of the street
and Mr. Hensley increased the salting of the street when needed.
On one occasion, the City did put up additional signage and
lowered the speed limit to 10 MPH. However, even that was
ignored.
In conclusion, Dr. Hauck stated that it is obvious the situation
is unsafe and more accidents continue to occur. He further stated
that obviously a problem exists and he is not sure of the best
solution. But, this is the first attempt to solve the problem.
Mr. Ernest Szarwark, 1140 East Woodside, South Bend, Indiana, with
his office at 1st Source Bank, 6th floor, South Bend, Indiana,
noted that he is a member of the Stanley Clark School Board. Mr.
Szarwark stated that procedurally he does not have a problem with
the process followed by the City and noted that he did receive
notice of the change to the one-way designation.
Mr. Szarwark noted that the concern for all those present is
safety. Dr. Hauck outlined over thirty (30) accidents that have
arisen in just the narrow time of December, 1988 to July 1993.
Mr. Szarwark stated that he has two (2) children, which are
present today, and there are a great number of children in the
area. One person has already died as a result of an accident in
the area and it is just a matter of time before another fatality
occurs. Mr. Szarwark informed the Board that the first question
they have to address is safety. The action of making Donmoyer
one-way westbound cuts down on part of the problem.
Mr. Szarwark stated that he has spoken to Police Chief Ronald G.
Marciniak concerning this problem and has been advised that the
Police Department will do all they can with the manpower
available.
In addressing the concerns of the residents of Woodside, Mr.
Szarwark stated that two (2) wrongs do not make a right. He
stated that it would be wrong of the Board to change the decision
that has been made and there should be other ways to resolve the
Woodside residents problems and concerns. Mr. Szarwark noted
that Donmoyer, from Miami to Twyckenham is an "S" curve and people
are taking this curve at a high rate of speed. In conclusion, Mr.
Szarwark asked that the Board not take away their protection and
their safety.
Mr. Robert Douglass, 1320 East Jefferson Boulevard, South Bend,
Indiana, informed members of the Board that he is the Headmaster
of Stanley Clark School. Mr. Douglass noted that in the summer of
1988 there was a cut in the crossing guard program and the
intersection of Donmoyer and Miami was one to be cut. The Police
Department was asked to study this decision and it was found that
there were a significant number of children utilizing the
intersection. Mr. Douglass urged the Board to carefully look at
the safety of the children in the area.
Mr. Berman again addressed the Board and noted that he does concur
with Dr. Hauck. He stated that he can endorse making Donmoyer,
1

I
REGULAR MEETING AUGUST 2, 1993
from Twyckenham to Miami, one-way also and that way there will not
be anyway to make a shortcut.
Ms. Michelle Strantz, 737 Donmoyer, South Bend, Indiana, noted
that there is a speed limit sign of 30 MPH and there have been at
least twenty (20) accidents in the last year. Her van, parked in
front of her residence, was hit and totalled just one year ago and
another vehicle was struck at Donmoyer and High.
Mrs. Cecil Perry, 618 East Donmoyer, South Bend, Indiana, informed
the Board that she has lived on Donmoyer for the past forty-six
(46) years and there have been many accidents. She noted that the
children on Donmoyer are always in danger. She further noted that
for the convenience of the residents of Donmoyer, from Miami to
Woodside, a lot of other people are being inconvenienced.
In response to Mrs. Perry, Mrs. Hauck stated that Donmoyer Street,
where she lives, is not a straight street and there are no curves
on the other side of Donmoyer.
Mrs. Carolyn Balog,- 2922 Miami Street, South Bend, Indiana, noted
that her residence is located on Miami at Donmoyer. Mrs. Balog
noted that they have had three (3) cars come up into their yard
with one accident occurring just minutes after she and her family
were in the front yard. She further noted that she and her
husband have called the Police Department on numerous occasions to
slow down the traffic, which goes fifty (50) and sixty (60) miles
per hour, but the Police do not respond.
Mr. Abe Ginter addressed the Board again and stated that he has
lived on Woodside for forty-two (42) years and he did not get a
notice of this change.
Mr. Carl P. Littrell, Director, Division of Engineering, addressed
the Board and the residents present. Mr. Littrell noted that only
the residents of the section of Donmoyer Street that would be
designated one-way were notified. No one else was notified. Mr.
Littrell further noted that at that time, residents were asked for
their comments concerning this change. All responses were
positive except for Mrs. Fahey who thought the one-way should be
in the other direction.
Mr. Littrell advised that during the peak time of 7:00-8:00 a.m.,
approximately one hundred twenty (120) vehicles use Donmoyer.
Those individuals will likely now use Woodside..
Mr. Littrell noted that the City did look at other alternatives to
this problem. The most expensive alternative would be to
reconstruct the street as it is the shape of the street that
causes most of the accidents. This alternative would cost
approximately two hundred fifty thousand dollars ($250,000.00).
Another solution would be to install guardrails. As well as not
being pretty to look at, it is unlikely that they would prevent
accidents, would not guarantee the protection of pedestrians and
would not correct the problem. Breaks for driveways would also
have to be put in the guardrails.
Therefore, Mr. Littrell stated that it is his recommendation to
make Donmoyer, from Miami to Woodside, one-way westbound. There
will be an inconvenience to vehicular traffic and quite a few cars
will turn right on Woodside. Mr. Littrell noted that Donmoyer is
a twenty-nine foot (291) wide street and Woodside is a thirty-nine
foot (391) wide street.
Mr. Littrell and several of the residents continued to carry on an
informal discussion of the situation with various alternatives
mentioned.
REGULAR MEETING AUGUST 2. 1993
Ms. Balog inquired if the south lane of Donmoyer could be
temporarily blocked as many cars are continuing to go down
Donmoyer the wrong way. Calls were made to the Police Department
concerning this problem, but no police officer responded.
Board Attorney and Member Mary H. Mueller stated that she would
like to ask the Engineering Department to look into the
possibility of extending the one-way designation as suggested by
residents.
Mr. Caldwell informed residents that he will have a discussion
with Police Chief Ronald G. Marciniak concerning this matter and
ask that the Police Department take a look at the area and monitor
it with radar guns. Mr. Leszczynski noted that ninety-nine per
cent (99%) of the time it is discovered that it is the actual
residents of the neighborhood that are doing the speeding.
Therefore, Mrs. Mueller made a motion that the above two (2)
traffic control devices concerning Donmoyer be approved and that
the Engineering Department be asked to look into the possibility
of extending the one-way designation from Woodside to Twyckenham.
Mr. Caldwell seconded the motion which carried.
