Electric, Inc., on the Plaza across from the Sherland Building, R -66. This is to cover charges on Colip Bros. Electric, Inc.`s Invoice No. 0154, in amount of $825.00. Indiana & Michigan Electric Company cannot contract the work direct. On motion by Mr. Wiggins, seconded by Mr. Chenney and unanimously carried, the above was authorized, as noted. Rehabilitation work in LaSalle Park: Commission ap- REHABILITATION proval was requested to award the bid for the correc- CONTRACT AWARDED TO: tion of rehabilitation work on Parcel Nos. 38 -16, ROSELAND CONSTRUCTIO 38 -17 and 38 -18, in the LaSalle Park Urban Renewal INC., (PARCELS 38 -16 Project, Indiana R -57, received from Roseland Con- 38 -17 & 38 -18), R -57 struction Company, Inc., totalling $13,937.00, as follows: 301 S..Iowa St. $ 3,243.00 305 S. Iowa St. 4,014.00 309 S. Iowa St. 62'680.00 Total $13,937.00 The contract for the above rehabilitation work was awarded prior to the low bidder, Circle Lumber, Inc., in bid amount of $11,499.00, with the stipulation that because of the nature of the contract and the difficulty in the refurbishing work, the first contract will be reviewed for consideration of a time and materials plus 15% contract on the other two parcels. This was authorized by Commissioners in meeting of August 16, 1974. After working with Circle Lumber to enter into a contract, they withdrew their bid in letter dated September 24 as discussed and noted in Commission meeting of October 4, advising us that after much deliberation they decided they had better turn down the three (3) jobs on Iowa Street, as they felt they could not satisfy the owners. Woodcox Building Contractor, Inc., in their letter dated October 16, advised due to existing conditions, they do not feel they can give a firm bid to restore the homes. The only possible way would be on a cost plus basis. They feel they can restore the homes but that there are many uncertain factors which could not be priced out with any exactness. - 5 - 5. TOLD BUSINESS (Cont'd Even with change orders, they do not feel it would be fair to either one of us to arrive at a firm bid within reason. Commissioner Wiggins raised the question that several other people had bid and backed off on these and now Roseland proposes to do the work with a firm bid, and if they don't what recourse do we have, and whether we require a performance bond? Mr. L. Kent Wilcox, Acting Executive Director, advised this bid is for $13,937.00, whereas Circle Lumber's was $11,499.00. No performance bond is required as we are using local funds. This contractor is agreeing to do the work we specified and we requested a punch list. Commissioner Chenney advised that Roseland Construction Company, Inc. is a good and reliable construction firm and no one can tell at this point what will happen in the initial work. This is on muck land and a portion of the foundations are sinking. Raising the foundations may create other problems which we may have with the householders. On motion by Mr. Chenney, seconded by Mr. Wiggins and unanimously carried, the motion authorizing the award of the contract to Circle Lumber, Inc., in Commission meeting of August 16, 1974, is rescinded, and the rehabi- litation work is awarded to Roseland Construction Company, Inc., in bid amount of $13,937.00, as noted above, with authorization to enter into a contract with Roseland Construction Company, subject to Legal Counsel approval. Community Development Task Force: Relative to question COMMUNITY DEVELOP - raised by Commissioner Wiggins on the two Commissioners MENT TASK FORCE named, in Commission meeting of September 6, to meet as a Committee with Mayor Miller and Mr. William Hojnacki, Mr. L. Kent Wilcox advised that the Mayor has decided not to appoint a Task Force in the re- organization of the Department of _Community Development and charged Mr. Hojnacki as the Director of Community Development and Mr. L. Kent Wilcox as the Deputy Director; and Mr. L. Kent Wilcox as the Acting Executive Director for the Department of Redevelop - ment. Termination Dates for Redevelopment Staff: Mr. L. Kent REDEVELOPMENT Wilcox said he also wanted to advise the Commissioners STAFF TERMINATION at this time, based on Mr. Lennon's memorandum of May 29, 1974, sent to all Redevelopment staff, that per that memorandum the positions will be terminated, as stated, at the end of the calendar year, with the exception of seven (7). Mr. Wilcox said he will discuss this further with the Commissioners at the next meeting. - 6 - 6. INEW BUSINESS a.

INEW BUSINESS (Cont'd On motion by Mr. Wiggins, seconded by Mr. Chenney and unanimously carried, Demolition & Site Clearance Contract No. 38 was awarded to the low bidder, Warner & Son's, Inc., in bid amount of $10,550.00, subject to Legal Counsel and HUD approval, and the President and Secretary authorized to enter into said contract. Model Cities Relocation and'Extended Services Contract: MODEL CITIES This is an amendment to Contracts 1537, 1631 -31 and RELOCATION AND 1727 -31, which is a continuation of the contracts with EXTENDED SERVICES Model Cities the Commissioners have authorized in the CONTRACT APPROVED past. FOR EXTENSION This is to extend the contract period to June 30, 1975, and authorization for the continued use of the unexpended balance of $332,031.00 to continue the operation of the original agreements, since relocation funds can only be used for relocation proposes, and 50 families, 10 indi- viduals and 2 businesses are eligible for these services, and both parties have mutually agreed. This is a con- tinuation to June 30, 1975, when Model Cities will be phased out. On motion by Mr. Wiggins, seconded by Mr. Chenney and unanimously carried, the amendment to the Model Cities Relocation & Extended Services Contract was authorized per above, and the President and Secretary authorized to enter into said Contract.

Preliminary Schematic: This item was discussed at JOINT VENTURE great length in the Executive Session of this meeting AUTHORIZED TO with the public present, and agreed to for the authori- PREPARE PRELIMINARY zation of an addendum to the joint venture contract with SCHEMATIC FOR CON - Clyde E. Williams and Associates and Environmental Plan TINUATION OF RIVER ning and Design to prepare a preliminary schematic, re- BEND PLAZA, R -66 port and cost estimates utilizing criteria of the Advisory Board. The joint venture estimates the subject work to cost $7,000. The joint venture met with the Advisory Board on October 24, 1974, to review the concern regarding Plaza construction on Michigan Street from Jefferson to the 6. NEW BUSINESS (Coat % north vacated alley now occupied by Office Engineers, Project Indiana R -66. The joint venture advises that any redesign at this date should only be considered if it is reasonably certain that Associates plan to pro- ceed with their super block concept. Mr. L. Kent Wilcox advised this is for one -half block con- tinuation of the River Bend Plaza and presented pre- liminary drawings showing the original plan for that one - half block. Mrs. Janet S. Allen had presented an overlay based on the focal point of the stage, which Mr. Edward F. Soltesz discussed. The stage would be hydraulically operated - -30 x 10 dual stage--in two sections (30 x 30 locked together as one item unit.) The schematic working drawing and the materials necessary for the hydraulic system would be approximately $7,000 for the hydraulic unit. The stage itself - -30 x 60 - -at a price of $10,000-- which would exclude the excavation changes necessary, which would not be that great. The drawing states 30 x 40, then necessary, was enlarged to set up full orchestra. The price for the materials -- separate system - -costs $17,000 as of now. The question on the stage is the utilities lay- ing on the street. In the planning of the Plaza, it is quite expensive because of the existing things in the street. We need to get the layout of the exact location of the stage for the utilities above and below the streets prior to con- struction. This will hold a 30 -ton capacity. Commissioner Wiggins asked if any consideration had been made for the provision for the lighting? Mr. Soltesz advised that they had and also included guard rails re- quired by law and facilities for plugging in an audio system. Not figured in is the amplifying system. The storage is underneath the stage. Everything for the stage is there and at low cost. Mr. Karl King, Chairman, River Bend Plaza Advisory Com- mittee, advised that Mr. Richard Van Mele is an Advisory member and he feels this is a very good project. If, for some reason, they would not want the remainder of that half block, Mr. King said they cannot answer, but if the plan would be instituted, they would be very favorable to this idea. If it would not relate to that block it would be favorable, as it could be correlated. Other items are eliminated that would be an offset in the Plaza (major items). which are probably more expensive than what is being discussed. Mr. Louis Wilcox said there will be major deletions from the plan when we have the major construction. One fountain is eliminated. This discussion is only for the consideration to authorize the execution of alternative plan for cost of $7,000 as an addendum to the joint venture contract. This is for the redesign work, per Mr. L. Kent Wilcox. 6. NEW BUSINESS (Cont'd Brochures were also given to the Commissioners previously and discussed in the Executive Session on the additional seating and bike racks on the River Bend Plaza. Commis- sioner Wiggins said -the least expensive unit price of a bike rack is $14.95. Mr. Louis Wilcox advised these can be spotted in different areas. Commissioner Wiggins said we are being contradictive, as we are providing parking spaces for the bikes, but they are not permitted to ride the bikes to the parking spaces. Some of the racks could be placed in the parking garages. The seating brochures shown also have some planter capa- bilities. These have not been shown to Exterior Design as yet. Mr. Louis Wilcox also recommended the use of a public address system on the Plaza. This will be more important as we develop the rest of the Plaza. Music could be played throughout the Plaza. Mr. Soltesz said the sound system is a very pertinent factor for the whole security of the Plaza and the expenditures for security would be minimized to have it in use. It would eliminate a lot of confusion, used as an advertising media, could auto- matically be utilized with the Civic Center. Mr. Kagel emphasized that in an emergency situation we would have this communication with the public, aside from being a good means of communication with the people. He thought this had been indoctrinated in the original planning and is surprised this has not been done. Commissioner Wiggins said this would not only involve costs, but that an integrated sound system would necessi- tate the installing of speakers and equipment, and that we would need expert advice on the size, shape and place- ment. If this were not well designed and placed, it would not serve its purpose, and the people who did the design originally are the best qualified to give the best design and advice. The control mechanism also ties into this. We need a place to put it and have security, or the people will play with it. Mr. Louis Wilcox said he would also like to discuss tennis courts, roller skating rink, ice rink, etc., with the design people. Commissioner Chenney said, "You are all out for spending money. I can see that." Mr. Louis Wilcox said that when this is properly planned, we can draw sub- stantial number of people for use of the Plaza. The Advisory group will continue to present their ideas. This does not necessarily mean that the Commission will implement them, but that he wanted to make the Commissioners aware of the ideas. Motion was made by Mr. Wiggins, seconded by Mr. Chenney and unanimously carried, to authorize an addendum to the joint venture contract with Clyde E. Williams and Associates and - 10 - 6. INEW BUSINESS (Cont'd) Environmental Planning and Design to prepare a pre- liminary schematic, report and cost estimates utilizing criteria of the Advisory Board, as noted in Clyde E. Williams and Associates letter dated October 30, 1974, in an amount not to exceed $7,000.00. 7. IPUBLIC HEARING Mr. L. Kent Wilcox, Acting Executive Director, advised there will be a Public Hearing, at the next Commission Meeting of November 15, 1974, for the Revision of the Southeast Neighbor- hood Development Program Guidelines, Indiana Project E -7. The Advisory Committee has made some changes on the guidelines and a public hearing will be held on this. 8. IPROGRESS REPORTS Central Downtown Urbdn Renewal Project; R -66: 1) River Bend Plaza Construction Report: The question arose from the Commission that two weeks ago they were assured in one - week's time the pools would be checked out and in operation. The answer was the motor needed to be re -wound and it hasn't arrived yet. Relating to the extra motor as to whether it had been purchased, or what the purchase price would be, the staff has not checked this out. To have the motor re -wound costs $125.00. Mr. Thomas A. Oesterling with Clyde E. Williams, joint venture consulting firm, advised the contractor had assured them the motor would be re -wound in 24 hours. Mr. Oesterling said he will check the cost figures out. The fountains are to be closed in one week for the winter months, per memo from Mr. Slabaugh. Commissioner Wiggins said we want to look at the future, in the good weather months, to have the fountains in operation. This is a point of viable interest in the Plaza and to program the fountains to keep the downtime on this at an absolute minimum. He said the fountains on the corner of Main and Jefferson, at the old post office building, in the evening with the ligh% -,on are fantastic. 2) River Bend Plaza Schedule Report: Mr. Wilcox ad- vised they received complete cooperation from all arms of the city government for the Halloween events. He was very pleased with the turnout which was tre- mendous. The Christmas decorations will be installed on time and are being delivered on the morning of 9th of November. - 11 - PUBLIC HEARING, SOUTHEAST NEIGH- BORHOOD DEVELOP- MENT PROGRAM GUIDELINES, E -7 NOV. 15, 1974 RIVER BEND PLAZA CONSTRUCTION REPORT RIVER BEND PLAZA SCHEDULE REPORT PROGRESS REPORTS (Cont'd) b.
