South Bend Redevelopment Commission Regular Meeting —March 21, 2003 5. OLD BUSINESS (CONT.) A. Sample -Ewing Development Area (1) continued... building presently being used by Bell Parts Supply is currently being negotiated for sale. Bell Parts indicated that, in the event it was necessary to relocate from its present site, it desired to move to the Parcel 7 site on Sample Street because it would be a reasonable distance from where they are now and hopefully keep the business that they have had for twenty seven years. There is a design plan for a 5,000 sq ft new building. Bell Parts Supply is concerned about losing customers with a relocation and planned to advertise that new location to let all previous customers know where the new facility will be. Mr. Bell noted that he believed his. business would be an asset to Sample Street and the area. The business is well established and have numerous repeat customers. Mr. Dennis Keilman, Bell Parts Supply, Inc., spoke next regarding future expansion. The design for the new building now is actually 5,500 sq ft and the plan is to eventually expand the building to the rear. The design plans already include the expansion plan. Mr. Keilman also believes the building will be an asset to the area putting a retail business in a basically industrial area. Mr. Kahn asked what kind of time frame would be necessary. Mr. Keilman responded that the time frame is directly linked to the sale of their current C, South Bend Redevelopment Commission Regular Meeting —March 21, 2003 5. OLD BUSINESS (CONT.) A. Sample -Ewing Development Area (1) continued... building. It would not be possible to start construction now due to a current lease in the existing location. Mr. Kahn asked how long the lease is for. Mr. Keihnan replied five more years. Mr. Blake asked how long it would take to complete construction of the building if they were forced to relocate sooner because of the sale of their current building. Mr. Keilman responded that from the time r they issued notice to proceed the building should be completed in less than six months. Ms. Greene noted for the record that the proposal submitted is complete. It includes the Affidavit of Non - Collusion, Proposal Forms, the Statement of Qualifications and Financial Responsibility, the Statement For Public Disclosure. There is a letter which also accompanies the submission that provides information and narrative of the overall project and a diagram of the project for Commission review. Mr. Schalliol noted that the ten percent performance guarantee was not requested based on the fact that it would only have been ten dollars. South Bend Redevelopment Commission Regular Meeting —March 21, 2003 5. OLD BUSINESS (CONT.) A. Sample -Ewing Development Area (1) continued... Ms. Greene advised that the price of the property is related to the Studebaker bond, the limitations on the proceeds the Commission is able to receive on properties in that area. Mr. Keilman commented that if Bell Parts Supply was forced to move they will be taking a considerable risk, particularly on retail business. However, given the cost of the site and the location, they also believe there are a lot of pluses for the community and the City. Mr. Schalliol next introduced Mr. Bill Hambling of Ziolkowski Construction, Inc. to give his presentation. Ziolkowski Construction is primarily interested in expanding its business in the same location. Currently, its existing facilities use about half of the block. They are looking to grow and develop a training center as well as relocate some of the warehousing and maintenance structures. Parcel 7 is adjacent to their current property and they would like to expand there rather than move to a new location. Ziolkowski Construction, Inc. is experiencing growth both in volume and in the number of employees. When the proposal was submitted they employed approximately 400 employees and they are hoping to grow that number to 450 to 500 as the construction season begins. Mr. Hambling expressed excitement in trying to stay in the area. The planned L6 South Bend Redevelopment Commission Regular Meeting —March 21, 2003 5. OLD BUSINESS (CONT.) A. Sample -Ewing Development Area (1) continued... building will fit and blend nicely into the Studebaker corridor. They plan to design and build the structure themselves. They are looking at four to six months construction time. The projected time frame to start construction on this site is within five years. Mr. Faccenda asked what size building was proposed. Mr. Hambling replied approximately 12,500 sq ft. and again the time line would be four to five years. Ms. Greene noted for the record that the proposal submitted by Ziolkowski Construction, Inc. includes all of the proper documents. The signed Proposal Form, the Statement of Qualifications and Financial Responsibility, the Affidavit of Non - Collusion, and a Statement For Public Disclosure, in addition to a development narrative of the project. Ms. Greene reminded the Commission that in terms of disposing of property which is governed by I.C. 36- 7- 14 -22, the Commission may take into consideration the following factors: P.

Ms. Greene also advised that the Commission is not obligated to award the bid at this time. The Commission may accept a bid, it may reject a bid and it may make an award to the highest and best bidder. The Commission has total discretion. The Commission may postpone the award to a future meeting if it needs time to deliberate or solicit further information. Mr. Faccenda commented that he would not want to choose between two good members of the community with fifteen minutes worth of thought about it. Ms. Greene advised that if the Commission wished to take the time to consider the two proposals, then any decision the Commission makes must be made at a public meeting.
