Mr. McGill represents an inve for or investor group that is willing to submit a bid tc purchase Block 6 of approximately 976,875 square feet (2 ( acres) in the Downtown Urban Renewal Area subject to observations set forth in the letter. The one stipula- tion is the investor group would submit such bid on the basis o a mutually satisfactory purchase price if Block 6 could be purchased in its entirety, and not merely a part thereof. The proposed uses were outlined. Block 6 was sta ed to be used for office, parking and residential purpose and commencement of construction would occur within our years after the purchase of the real estate. Mr. Taylor said this is another extremely important land- mark and is the largest block the Commission has to offer, approximately 20 acres, in the Downtown Renewal Program. In the original application, the North area was appraised for office use and the South area for housing. Now it would be for mixed use and the boundary cannot be defined. On the basis of their interest, the first step is to have 7 HUD CONCURRENCE, DEMOLITION CONTRACT NO. 1, MERRY AVENUE PROJECT APPROVED AND REVISED BUDGETS, E -3 & E -5 LETTER OF INTENT TO PURCHASE BLOCK 6 R -66 7. 40MMUNICATIONS (Cont'd) reuse zppraisals on this land before it is offered for sale, which vill take from 30 to 45 days.

NSW BUSINESS (Co_nt'd) that this bid be held in abeyance until we receive the bids for the total parcels; then the Commission, at that time, con- sider tie highest and best use for that parcel. The Chair asked if the parcels specified include Dan Clark's property and Mr. Taylor said it does. Mr. Louis Chapleau, Attorney representing Office Engineers, ad- dressed himself to the Commission. Mr. Chapleau stated that, because of property lost by his client due to Urban Renewal, it was imperative that his client obtain additional space. Mr. Chapleaj stated further that in his opinion Parcel 4 -30A should not be included in the offering proposed at this meeting be- cause C mmission action on his client's bid proposal in Decem- ber 1, 1972 went further than simply receiving the bid and de- ferring action. Mr. Tay or said that the Commission cannot legally award a bid proposal until it has been reviewed and approved by the Com- mission's Legal Counsel, the Commission has declared it the highest and best bid, and HUD concurs in the redeveloper as capable of undertaking the proposed redevelopment. Mr. Chapleau then stated that Office Engineers is prepared to go ahead with the contractor. Office Engineers is prepared to let contract to proceed with the construction, if it would be permitted to do so. The Board should consider this and if they do advertise, they should except Parcel 4 -30A from this offerin He asked the Board to let his client know when the Commiss on is ready to proceed and close the transaction. Mr. Wig ins made the motion to authorize the advertising for sale of the designated parcels and approval of the minimum bid prices specified. The Commission discussed whether Parcel 4 -30A should be in- cluded in the offering. Mr. Butler, Legal Counsel, suggested that after the bids are received on February 2, 1973, at that time the Commission may make its determination concerning Parcel -30A based on a number of factors, including any ac- commoda ion which might be reached among interested parties. Mr. Wig ins amended his motion to authorize advertising of the des gnated parcels, but separating Parcel 4 -30 into the redesig ated Parcels 4 -30A and 4 -30B with corresponding land areas a d minimum bid prices.

The reason for negotiating this contract with Christman Construction Company is due to the liability involved in workinc in the basement of this structure. Christman Construction Compay is the contractor for the building owners and the principals of the construction company have an int rest in the building. This makes them imminently famili r with the problems of separating the basement area from t e underwalk vault areas. Mr. Taylor said we had agreed if the people would abandon their vaults under the sidewalks, we would backfill them and install new sidewalks, the reason being to encourage abandonment of the vaults. The other solution would be to replace the vault deck, which would be extremely expensive. Mr. Ta for said we are deviating from the normal bidding procedure and need Commission authorization to submit to HUD fo approval. On motion by Rev. Williams, seconded by Mr. Wiggins, and unanimously carried, Commission approved request to negotiate a Contract with Christman Construction Company, compensation not to exceed $9,500.00, for Parcel No. 8 -13, and the President and Secretary authorized to execute, subject to Legal Counsel and HUD concurrence. i.
