SUBJECT: Budget Request- Mishawaka Streetscape
PN 121-072; PROJ 308
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,

PURPOSE OF REQUEST:
This budget request is for $200,000 to pay for unforeseen railroad tie and concrete removal that conflicted
with the placement of the curb on Mishawaka Avenue east of the railroad overpass.
SPECIFICS:
This budget request is for $200,000 to pay for unforeseen change orders for the Mishawaka Streetscape
project. The main unforeseen item was the removal of railroad ties where two sets of tracks were located
for the old trolley line. The railroad ties also were encased in concrete that also needed to be removed. The
railroad ties and concrete conflicted with the placement of the curb and inlets on Mishawaka Avenue east
of the railroad overpass on the south side of the road. This is in addition to the previous RDC request of
$3,500,000 and $400,000 from Storm Water funds. There is currently $387,000 unencumbered in the
project and we have an outstanding change order to increase the contact amount by an additional
$565,000.
It is requested the Redevelopment commission approve an additional $200,000 from River East TIF to
cover the remaining construction funding for the Mishawaka Streetscape project.
Thank you for your consideration of this request.
