be rejected as it contained a Bid Bond that was improperly
executed in that it lacked the signature of the principal.
Therefore, Mrs. Mueller made a motion that the above bids of St.
Joseph Materials Company, Inc., and Koch Minerals Company be
rejected. Mr. Caldwell seconded the motion which carried.
Further, upon a motion made by Mr. Caldwell, seconded by Mrs.

APPROVE EQUIPMENT LEASE -PURCHASE AGREEMENT - CENTREX SYSTEM
Mr. John Leisenring, Chief Deputy Controller, addressed the Board
and advised that the document before them is a Lease Purchase
Agreement for the installation of a new computerized telephone
switching system. Mr. Leisenring noted that the City is on the
same contract as the County with Indiana Bell to provide
telephone services. On March 1, 1992, the County renewed the
Contract for new switching equipment with Indiana Bell and the
City's share for this new system is $264,939.04.
Mr. Leisenring advised that the Contract submitted to the Board
today for consideration is the most favorable of three (3)
options presented to the City by Indiana Bell.
One option was to make normal service payments to Indiana Bell
for one hundred twenty (120) months at $8,760.36 per month with
an initial installation charge of $13,879.00. Another option was
}� 6
REGULAR MEETING APRIL 27, 1992
to prepay the full cost of the installation at $264,939.04 and
pay normal service costs of $5,196.36 per month. The final
option, and the one chosen by the City, is to finance the
prepayment amount through Ameritech Credit Corporation with a
monthly payment of $3,091.84 plus the $5,196.36 per month for the
normal service cost. Mr. Leisenring noted that by utilizing this
option the City would be reducing what it currently pays by two
per cent (2%) and he therefore recommended that the Board approve
this Lease Purchase Agreement.
Board Attorney Mary H. Mueller advised that she has reviewed the
Lease Purchase Agreement for legality and deleted one paragraph.
Mrs. Mueller therefore made a motion that the Lease Purchase
Agreement, with the elimination of Paragraph #14, be approved and
executed. Mr. Caldwell seconded the motion which carried.
FILING OF DISCLOSURE OF CONFLICT OF INTEREST
In a letter to the Board, Ms. Elizabeth Leonard, Director,
Financial & Program Management, Department of Economic
Development, advised that the letter which she is submitting,
which shall be received and filed at a public meeting of the
Board of Public Works of the City of South Bend, Indiana, will
serve as public disclosure of a determination of conflict of
interest under 24 CFR 570.611 for the following person:
Jon R. Hunt, Executive Director of the City of South
Bend's Department of Economic Development, is acting
as the President of the Neighborhood Housing Services
Board of Directors. NHS is a recipient of funds
through the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG)
Program. Mr. Hunt, in his position with the City,
oversees this office's monitoring of the CDBG Program.
NHS is being monitored in the same manner as other sub -
grantees.
Ms. Leonard noted that public consideration and acceptance of the
letter satisfies the Department of Housing and Urban
Development's (HUD) regulations which require public disclosure
of any potential conflict of interest involving the use of
Community Development funds. This is a required step toward
gaining HUD approval of the transaction.
Ms. Leonard further noted that the office of the South Bend City
Attorney has determined that the above described situation does
not constitute a conflict of interest under state law. The
Department of Economic Development will be requesting a waiver
from the United States Department of Housing and Urban
Development, Indianapolis area office, pursuant to 24 CFR
570.611.
Mr. Jon Hunt, Executive Director, Department of Economic
Development, was present and advised members of the Board that he
is the President of NHS and Executive Director of the Department
of Economic Development which oversees Community Block Grant
funds of which the NHS is a recipient. He noted that in 1992,
NHS received $30,000.00 in funds for administrative purposes and
in the past received funds for housing rehabilitation and the
revolving loan fund activity. Mr. Hunt noted that as he
understands it no conflict of interest exists under state law but
the action of the Board today is required by HUD. Mr. Hunt noted
that first in this process is this public disclosure and then the
request from HUD for a waiver.
Mrs. Mueller made a motion that the public disclosure letter as
submitted be accepted for filing. Mr. Leszczynski seconded the
motion which carried. Mr. James R. Caldwell abstained from
voting as he is a member of the NHS Board.
REGULAR MEETING APRIL 27, 1992
AWARD BID - GAS SPHERES RENOVATION - WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT
Mr. Karl R. Kopec, Manager of Operations, Division of
Environmental Services, advised that after review of the two (2)
bids received on April 13, 1992, for the above referred to
project, it is being recommended at this time that the Board
award the bid of Hayes Boiler & Mechanical, Inc., 1515 West
Leland Avenue, Chicago, Illinois, in the amount of $149,949.00.
Mr. Kopec noted that CBI Na-Con, Inc., 601 West 143rd Street,
Plainfield, Illinois, was the apparent low bidder at $99,400.00.
However, their bid excluded a provision in the bid specifications
to pressure test the repaired spheres. Therefore, Mr. Kopec
noted that Hayes Boiler is the sole responsive bidder and their
bid is twenty-seven per cent (27%) less than the Engineer's
Estimate for this scope of work.
Board Attorney Mary H. Mueller advised members of the Board that
the low bid was non -responsive as it contained conditions
deleting testing requirements and severely limited liability.
Mr. Caldwell made a motion that the bid be awarded as
recommended. Mr. Leszczynski seconded the motion which carried.
FAVORABLE RECOMMENDATION - PETITION TO VACATE BUTTERNUT ROAD
FROM VACATED DOUGLAS ROAD NORTH TO CLEVELAND ROAD FOR A DISTANCE
OF APPROXIMATELY 5320 FEET
Mr. Leszczynski advised that the Board is in receipt of a
Vacation Petition as submitted for filing with the Common Council
by the South Bend Redevelopment Authority and St. Joseph Airport
Authority to vacate the following property:
Butternut Road, from vacated Douglas Road north to
Cleveland Road for a distance of approximately
5320 feet.
It is noted that the Board is in receipt of favorable
recommendations concerning this vacation from the Area Plan
Commission, Fire Department, Police Department, Department of
Economic Development and the Engineering Department. It is
further noted that Northern Indiana Public Service Company has
advised that they do not have any gas mains in Butternut Road,
Indiana Michigan Power does have overhead pole lines running
south from Cleveland Road for approximately one -quarter mile and
Indiana Bell Telephone has a buried cable from Douglas Road to
Cleveland Road which terminates at a jobsite trailer at Cleveland
Road.
Mr. Caldwell made a motion that the Board forward a favorable
recommendation to the Common Council concerning this Vacation
Petition. Mrs. Mueller seconded the motion which carried.
DENY PETITION FOR ESTABLISHMENT OF RESTRICTED RESIDENTIAL PARKING
ZONE - ESTHER/HILDRETH STREET
Mr. Carl P. Littrell, Director, Division of Engineering, advised
the Board that the Bureau of Traffic and Lighting has conducted
an investigation of the residential parking zone requested on
Hildreth and Esther Street pursuant to the requirements of
Chapter 20, Article 10 of the South Bend Municipal Code.
It is noted that on March 30, 1992, Mr. Sue Bunch, 1609 Hildreth
Street, South Bend, Indiana, submitted a Petition for the
Establishment of a Restricted Residential Parking Zone at the
extension of Esther between 1702 and 1622/Hildreth Street
(1601-1617, 1602-1622).
Mr. Littrell submitted with his Memorandum the results of an
investigation which took place on April 7, 1992, between the
hours of 6:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. Based on the results of this
REGULAR MEETING APRIL 27, 1992
investigation, Mr. Littrell recommended that the Petition be
denied due to the fact that the criteria outlined in ordinance
requiments were not satisfied.
Mr. Littrell noted that no homes face the part of Esther Street
for which the request was made. The Petition indicates the
potential of sixteen (16) vehicles at the homes with Hildreth
Street addresses. Twenty-four (24) parking spaces are available
on Hildreth alone. A 6:00 a.m, to 6:00 p.m. study on April 16,
1992 found only thirty-two per cent (320) occupancy. The
occupancy by non-residents was twenty-one per cent (21%). In
addition, a study was conducted from 6:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. on
the evening of April 14, 1992. Only a five per cent (50)
occupancy was found at that time.
Board Attorney Mary H. Mueller noted that the Petitioners did not
meet ordinance requirements in the required percentage of
occupancy and the percentable of non-resident occupancy.
Therefore, Mr. Leszczynski made a motion that the recommendation
be accepted and the Petition be denied. Mrs. Mueller seconded
the motion which carried.
