Redevelopment Commission Agenda Item
DATE: 6/24/2021
FROM: Kara M. Boyles, City Engineer
SUBJECT: Budget Decrease – Cleveland Rd. Pavement
Funding Source* (circle one) River West; River East; South Side; Douglas Road; West Washington; RDC General

Purpose of Request: A budget reduction for the Cleveland Road Pavement Improvements
project from $2M to $1,290,444.84.
On May 9, 2019, the Redevelopment Commission approved my request for $2M to repair the
heavily deteriorated concrete pavement along Brick/Cleveland Road near the interchange with
the US-31 ByPass. INDOT-LaPorte District was in the process of a design to repair pavement on
the US-31 ByPass which offered the opportunity for South Bend to jointly contract the work
with INDOT. The partnership resulted in a revised cost estimate of $1,677,300. Cost savings
may be attributed to INDOT absorbing all overhead costs related to the City’s construction
project. For example, INDOT covered all mobilization and demobilization costs as well as
construction engineering related to the City’s work.
Upon the contract award, the City realized further cost savings when the City’s share of the
project amounted to $1,248,475.08. Again, cost savings may be attributed to the size of the
INDOT project (over $16M) and the associated economies of scale that accompany large
projects).
A single change order of $7,169.76 in added costs due to unforeseen site conditions – namely
deteriorated pipe and drainage structures led to a final cost of $1,255,644.84. Including
consulting fees of $34,800, the total expenditure for design and construction is $1,290,444.84.
