wanted to let the Commission know that, as
the 1100 Corporation (owners of the former
Studebaker Foundry), they are interested in
land in the Oliver Industrial Park contingent
upon the Commission's purchase of their
existing building. Staff met with Mr. Butler
and Mr. Don Nuner regarding interest in the
Oliver property. They are interested in a
seven to ten acre site and are proposing
construction of an approximately 25,000
sq ft building which would also have an
outside storage area that would be fenced
and screened. The staff recommendation is
to obtain at least one appraisal of their
property in order to initiate negotiations. In
addition, staff will work on identifying a
parcel of land that will meet their needs.
The first bid was from Hill Truck Sales, Inc.
They are interested in a .96 acre site adjacent
to the rear of their property located at
1011 W. Sample Street. A Performance
Guaranty in the amount of $2,210 was
submitted with the bid and all requested
information was provided. Hill Truck Sales
wants to purchase a lot 100' by 420' just to
the north of their property— extending west,
adjacent to the City of South Bend's
Equipment Services Building. Their bid is
contingent on purchasing an additional site
(50' by 200) from the City of South Bend
that is the unused northern portion of the
Equipment Services property. The proposed
use of the property is for parking and storage
of customer and employee vehicles. The
staff recommendation is to reject the bid
from Hill Truck Sales, Inc. because is does

not comply with the Bid Specifications, but
to continue to work with the company to
come up with an acceptable development
plan that meets the needs of both Hill Truck
Sales, Inc. and the Redevelopment
Commission.
The second bid was from Rose Fuel &
Materials, Inc. who offered $125,000 for a
5.1 acre site that includes the old Oliver
boilerhouse. This bid exceeds the offering
price of $20,500 /acre for interior lots larger
than five (5) acres in size. A Performance
Guaranty in the amount of $12,500 was
submitted with the bid and all requested
information was provided. Rose Fuel is
ILproposing moving their distribution and
showroom facilities from Madison Street to
this site and constructing a new 7,500 sq ft
storage facility. Staff recommends rejecting
the bid from Rose Fuel & Materials, Inc. on
the grounds that it requires the Commission
to significantly increase the value of the
boilerhouse. The offering price for the
property at the Oliver Industrial Park was
based on the value of zero for the
boilerhouse, and because Rose Fuel is
proposing the Commission increase that
value, staff feels it would be better to
negotiate with the purchaser rather than
except their bid.
In conclusion, Mr. Laurent advised that the
staff recommendation is to reject all bids,
but to continue to work with all bidders
including Underground Pipe & Valve, Inc.
which submitted the Letter of Intent.

than the amount listed on the offering sheets.
However, staff may negotiate after the offers
are opened.
Mr. Laurent noted that staff is confident that
agreements can be worked out with both of
the interested bidders.
Upon a motion by Ms. Jones, seconded by
Mr. Blake and unanimously carried, the
Commission rejected the bids submitted and
directed staff to continue negotiations with
all interested parties.
(3) Commission authorization requested for
the South Bend Parks Department to use
recently acquired Commission property
located in the Sample -Ewing
