1151 Garfield Court
Deb a A. Redding
3719 Bellevista St.
Mrs Kolata noted that the award of bid
for work at 115 Garfield Court was made
to the second lowest bidder because the
lowest bid was more than 15% below the
Bureau of Housing estimate. This
pro Mqton-Chapin ty is located in the West
Was Redevelopment Area.
She also noted that the loan on the 3719
Bel evista St. property is for both the
construction and refinancing of the land
con ract.
Upon a motion by Mr. Donoho, seconded by
Ms. Auburn and unanimously carried, the
ComrLission approved the Section 312 Loans
listed above.
b. Comaission adoption requested of
Resolution No. 845 amending Resolution
No. 812 regarding reimbursement to the
City of South Bend for expenditures made
within the Rum Village Industrial Park.
Mrs Kolata noted that Resolution
No. 812, passed on September 25, 1987,
autliorized reimbursement to the City in

the Mastic Corporation property. The
actual amount of land purchased was
reduced during negotiation and the price
was reduced accordingly. The actual price

c. Co ssion authorization requested to
acc pt proposal for consulting
related to East Bank
Avenue North and
to the East Race.
Mrs Kolata explained that this portion
of the East Bank Walkway is part of the
property to be sold to Can -Am South Bend
for their apartment complex. The
Comnission retained an easement along the
riverbank to continue the walkway. Now
that the Can -Am project is moving
forward, it is the desire of both the
department and the developer to have the
walkway constructed simultaneously with
the project in order to achieve maximum
coo ration between the two parties.
Thr e engineering companies, Lawson -
Fis er Associates, Clyde Williams and
Ass c. and Lumm Engineers, were asked to
sub 't proposals for the engineering
wor . Only one proposal was received by
the June.24, 10:00 a.m. deadline. That
was from Lawson - Fisher Associates who
indicated that they would design and
pro ide a cost estimate within thirty
days of the Notice to Proceed.
Lawson-Fisher suggested, however, that
the Notice to Proceed not be given until
the Can -Am designs are far enough along
for coordination.
The proposed design considerations are:
10 foot wide walkways constructed of
concrete with additional width in seating
and viewing areas; lighting, railings and
benches similar or compatible with other
parks in the area; and, that the site
developers (Can -Am) determine which trees
of value on the riverbank will remain and
how the existing bank shall be cleaned
and protected.
The proposed scope of services includes a
sur7ey of existing conditions, design
pl s, specifications, cost estimates,
pre ration of bid documents and review
of ids, construction supervision,
con ract administration, project

scheduling, and local, state, and federal
rev'ews. The estimated fee for these
services is $9,920 in their standard form
of contract. The staff recommends
acceptance of this proposal.
Mr. Piasecki asked about the likelihood
of a barrier between the walkway and the
apartment project. Mrs. Kolata responded
that Can -Am prefers to have no barrier
and if one is necessary, for it to be
lan scapinq.
Upon a motion by Mr. Donoho, seconded by
Mr. Combs and unanimously carried, the
Comnission approved the proposal and
con ract with Lawson- Fisher Associates
for engineering services related to the
East Bank Walkway.
d. Commission approval requested for lease
with Communique Advertisinq.
Mrs Kolata noted that Communique
Advertising does business as Sheffer
Advertising at 115 W. Colfax. We have
had a lease with them for a number of
years for a portion of the parking lot
behind their building. They did the
landscaping along the lot, they maintian
it, pay taxes on it and, in exchange, use
it for their parking during business
hours and it is open for public parking
during non - business hours. It benefits
the Morris Civic Auditorium and all the
events that take place in that block.
The lease is for one dollar per year from
May 1, 1988 until termination, with a 30
day cancellation clause. They must
pro tide proof to the City of a million
dol ars worth of liability insurance.
Upom a motion by Mr. Combs, seconded by
Mr. Donoho and unanimously carried, the
Co ssion approved the lease with
Co unique Advertising.
