South Bend Central Development Area (1) Resolution No. 2934 terminating a Contract for Sale of Land for Private Development between JeffCourt, Inc. and the South Bend Redevelopment Commission dated June 6, 2008, and a Development Agreement by and between South Bend Redevelopment Commission and JeffCourt, Inc. dated June 6, 2008. Mr. Relos noted that Resolution No. 2934 terminates a Contract for Sale of Land for Private Development between JeffCourt, Inc. and the South Bend Redevelopment Commission dated June 6, 2008, and a Development Agreement by and between the South Bend Redevelopment Commission and JeffCourt, Inc. dated June 6, 2008. On April 12, 2011, the Commission authorized Richard Nussbaum II, Attorney -at -Law, to prepare notices of default for the Contract for Sale, First Amendment to the Contract, and Development Agreement with Jeffcourt, Inc, for the Commission -owned lot at the northwest corner of Jefferson and St. Joe streets. As part of these agreements, Jeffcourt had certain obligations, which have not been met. Because these obligations have not been met, Jeffcourt is in default of the agreements. The two most noteworthy defaults are: • Property was to be closed on by December 15, 2008. 4 South Bend Redevelopment Commission Regular Meeting — August 23, 2011 6. NEW BUSINESS (CONT.) A. South Bend Central Development Area (1) continued... • Project excavation was to begin by March 15, 2009, with construction completed within 24 months and a certificate of occupancy issued. Mr. Nussbaum has followed the notification process required by these agreements, and Jeffcourt has failed to cure the defaults within the 30 -day cure period. This resolution terminates the agreements between the Commission and Jeffcourt, and will allow the property to be available for future development. Staff requests your approval of Resolution No. 2934. Ms. Jones asked whether there are penalties when a Contract for Sale is terminated. Mr. Relos responded that they forfeit their performance guarantee, in this case it is $60,000. Mr. Varner whether their might be an appeal. Mr. Nussbaum responded that Jeffcourt has not responded to any of our communications. He would be surprised if they would contest the Commission's action. Upon a motion by Mr. Varner, seconded by Mr. Alford and unanimously carried, the Commission approved Resolution No. 2934 terminating a Contract for Sale of Land for Private Development between JefflCourt, Inc. and the South Bend Redevelopment Commission. 5 COMMISSION APPROVED RESOLUTION No. 2934 TERMINATING A CONTRACT FOR SALE OF LAND FOR PRIVATE DEVELOPMENT BETWEEN JEFFCOURT, INC.

Mr. Relos noted that Resolution No. 2933 and its Addendum to the Master Agency Agreement deals with the next two phases of streetscape improvements around the Memorial Hospital campus. This Addendum is for Supplemental Agreement No. 2 from DLZ, which, through the Board of Public Works, will design and prepare construction and final plans, perform surveying, right of way platting, utility engineering, and will provide a statement of probable construction costs for those next two phases. The main improvement projects to be completed around the Memorial campus in the next three years are: • Demolition of selected structures and parking lot improvements on both the east and west sides of the 400 block of N. Michigan St. • Fagade improvements to the buildings on the east side of Michigan between Bartlett and Navarre, the Mar Main Pharmacy building, and the skywalk over Michigan St. • A new, more prominent entrance road, which will allow visitors to more readily identify where to enter the hospital. This new road will be called Park Lane. C8l South Bend Redevelopment Commission Regular Meeting — August 23, 2011 6. NEW BUSINESS (CONT.) A. South Bend Central Development Area (2) continued... Mr. Relos noted that this Addendum covers what is referred to as Phase 3 and 4, the first and third components listed above. The fagade improvements are currently being designed by the Troyer Group. These three components will create a unified look for the Memorial campus, will make a dramatic entrance corridor into the downtown core, and compliment the work that has recently been completed north of LaSalle Street. Staff requests approval of Resolution No. 2933, and the Addendum to the Master Agency Agreement, in the amount of $320,700. Mr. Varner asked if anything would be physically accomplished with these requested funds. Mr. Inks responded that this money will lead to construction, but these funds are not for construction. It has to do with the engineering, studies and research. Upon a motion by Mr. Varner, seconded by Mr. Alford and unanimously carried, the Commission approved Resolution No. 2933 approving and authorizing the execution of an Addendum to the Master Agency Agreement (Memorial Hospital Streetscape Improvements Project, Bid Packages 3 and 4).

Mr. Relos noted that on May 24 the Commission approved a professional services agreement in the amount of $14,900 with the Troyer Group to design fagade improvements for the Memorial Hospital campus.

In addition, staff would like to include the old Nipsco building at the corner of Michigan and La Salle into the fagade improvement program. To accommodate these changes, an addendum to the May 24 agreement covers architectural services for final concept boards, two concepts for the Nipsco building, and providing preliminary construction costs for all components of the project.

The request for proposals will be for the parking garages located at Wayne St., Leighton Plaza, and at Main and Colfax streets.
