A proposal was received from Robert V. Bat east. His offering price was $169,250.00 which is the minimum offering price. The project cost is estimated at $2.2 - 2.3 million. The project would be for a health and lifestyle center for Memorial Health Systems, Inc., consisting of a two story, 32,000 square foot building, and approximately 66 parking spaces.

NEW BUSINESS (Cont.) e. uontinuea... A proposal was also received from T. Brooks Bra emas. His offering price was $170,000.00. The estimated project is approximately $3 - 3.5 million. The project would also be a health and lifestyle center for Memorial Health Systems, Inc., consisting of a two story, 33,000 square foot building, and approximately 70 parking spaces. The building wou d be located at the intersection with parldng to the north of the building. The ext rior materials would include brick and gla s. The projected completion date is Dec er 1986. A sketch of the proposed project was distributed. Mr. Hunt indicated that it is the intent of the Commission not to award a speculative building or to award to a developer who may be putting up a speculative building. Both of the bidders' bids are contingent upon receiving the award of the lease from Memorial Health Systems for the health and lifestyle center. Mr. Hunt noted for the record that this is a taxable property. The Commission will proceed by noting that both bids in general would be acceptable by the Commission and staff, however, the hospital will have to make a choice in terms of the developer they would like to see develop the property. There are some general design issues that have to be ad essed regardless of the developer, particularly as to how the building relates to the raceway, landscaping and parking issues. Mendrial Hospital is anticipated to make a decision by the end of April. Ms. Jeanne Derbeck asked why Memorial Health Systems did not bid directly on the property. Mr. Hunt responded that it is a policy that rial has been following for development of physical facilities that they prefer to lease from a private developer to allow the development to be taxed. Parcel E2 -15 was bid as general development with the Commission's preference of residential development. It was ind sated in the bid packet that the Commisson wou d accept bids other than residential if it South Bend Regular Me, 6. NEW BU e. Co: elopment Commission - March 28, 1986 (Cont.) was supportive of the overall development plan to upport or enhance residential development in he area. Mr. Hunt noted that the Commission's bid award is contingent upon Memorial's schedule on a firri commitment of a developer. At that time the bids will be referred to the staff for a final recommendation. re NO._. .�. Mr. Hun reported that the Design Review Committee met several weeks ago and approved the design and landscaping plans for Dr. John Harrington's project which will complete the Block Six development area. The project is a clinic /medical office combination joining the seven other facilities within Block Six. The Block Six project was started in the mid 1970's by the Commission after acquiring and clearing the land. The CormLission also moved ahead to develop the ameniti s package which consisted of the riverbank park and the renovation of the old railroad trestle for a pedestrian walkway connecting Howard Park and the west bank of the river. There are now app oximately 170,000 square feet of office space contained in five building, approximately 200 apartments in Karl King Towers and a drive -in bank all within Block Six.

Mr. Hunt reported that the Community Development contract for the CBD Facade Program was originally between the Commission and Community Development. Since Center City Associates is going to be administering the program, it is the suggestion of the Community Development staff that the contract be made directly with Center City Associates. Center City Associates will have the ultimate responsibility for making decisions about the loan program and following up on the design and contractor work. It is the staff's recommendation to the Commission that Community Development enter into the contract with Center City Associates. The Corffiission noted for the record that a letter should be sent to Community Development to cancel the contract, and confirm acknowledgement of the cancellation of the contract between the Commission and Community Development. 8.
