227 West Jefferson Boulevard, Room 1308, South Bend, Indiana
Redevelopment Commission Agenda Item
DATE : 12/12/2024
FROM: Patrick Sherman
SUBJECT: Studebaker Museum HVAC Project
Funding Source* (circle) River West; River East; South Side; Douglas Road; West Washington; RDC General; Riv. East Res.
* Funds are subject to the City Controller's determination of availability; if funds are unavailable, as solely determined by the City Controller, then the
authorization of the expenditure of such funds shall be void and of no effect.
PURPOSE OF REQUEST: Public Works solicited quotes for the replacement of two failing HVAC units at the
Studebaker Museum as part of planned capital improvements. We would like to request $15,000 in order to
award the project .
SPECIFICS: RDC previously approved $150K for two capital projects that are needed at the Studebaker Museum.
Those two projects were renovation work on the large skylight, and the replacement of two failing HVAC units
that also use refrigerant that is no longer useable because of EPA guidelines. The skylight project came in within
budget and was awarded at the 11/26/2024 BPW meeting. At that same meeting, the Board also opened quotes
for the HVAC project. The lowest responsive quote came in about $15K above budget. The work is needed at the
Museum, where a stable temperature and humidity environment is important for the maintenance of the
collection. We would like to be able to award the quote, and ensure this important work is completed.
