Relos, Michael C. Mecham and Mark W. Neal present. Board Member Kathryn E. Roos was not

ADDITIONS TO THE AGENDA:
Mr. Gilot stated there were four additions to the Agenda: a non-residential Block Party request, a

AWARD BID CORRECTION AND APPROVE CONTRACT — SOUTH BEND FIRE
DEPARTMENT TRAINING FACILITY — PROJECT NO. I I I -017 EMS CAPITAL
Mr. Toy Villa, Engineering, advised the Board that on July 23, 2013, the above bid was awarded
to Ziolkowski Construction, Inc., 4050 Ralph Jones Drive, South Bend, Indiana 46628, in the
amount of $2,625,200.25. After reviewing those bids, it was noted there was a mathematical
error in Ziolkowski tabulation in the amount of $200.00; however, this error did not affect the
order of the most responsible, responsive bid. Mr. Villa recommended the previous award be
corrected and a new Contract signed. Therefore, Mr. Mecham made a motion that the
recommendation be accepted, the bid be re -awarded and the Contract approved as outlined
above. Mr. Neal seconded the motion, which carried.

Board members discussed the following item(s) from that list.
- Contracts — CDBG Funded
Ms. Lory Timmer, Community Investment, stated there are seven contracts funded by CDBG
which are based on contracts approved in previous years. These contracts are to be approved
subject to the approval of HUD, which will take about three weeks.
- Memorandum of Understanding — Urban Enterprise Association
Ms. Pamela Meyer, Community Investment, stated the Memorandum of Understanding with the
Urban Enterprise Association is for donations made by the public for the demolitions of vacant
and abandoned houses_ The donations will be placed in a reserve to be used when needed. It is
for private donations, not grant money. Ms. Greene stated they need to look at how to set up the
donation fund based on the 5010 status and to do it correctly, not necessarily what was done in
the past and the Memorandum will need to be set into a formal agreement.
- Change Order — Curb and Sidewalk — Project No. 113-011C
Mr. Paul South, Streets, stated this change order is for additional work tothe existing quotation.
The Board passed a resolution adding not -for -profit organizations to the to 'lhe curb and sidewalk
program; however, the Street Department does not have a way to perform' `the sidewalk work at
this time but they do have a quote award for curb work. This change order will address that. Mr.
Gilot stated that a change in scope would need to be addressed through a new quotation for that
AGENDA REVIEW SESSION

work. Mr. South stated he will prepare a new specification for this work to be opened at the
Claims Review meeting on August 20, 2013.
- Reject Proposals — Management and Marketing of the City of South Bend Organic
Resources
Mr. Al Greek, Environmental Services, stated because the companies submitting proposals did
not give a plan to tackle the legacy pile and did not show a significant savings as shown in Ann
Arbor, Michigan, the proposals are to be rejected. Both companies submitting proposals were
shown to be losing money and are considered unstable. Mr. Eric Horvath, Public Works, stated
they will be attacking "Plan B" which is working with staff to take care of the problem before it
becomes an obligation. Prior to creating a plan, several ordinances will have to be implemented.
Mr. Gilot stated privatizing is an answer but if the City is comparable with private entities, we
need to raise our game.
Special Purchase — Sutphen Tower Aerial Apparatus
Mr. Jeffrey Hudak, Central Services, stated they are purchasing a used Model year 2001/2002
Sutphen 100' Aerial Apparatus so replace the current ladder truck. This is a significant savings to
purchasing a new truck. Sutphen will rebuild the ladder and re -warranty it for 25 years. Chief
Cox stated that Enfocus evaluated the current truck being used, which was purchased in 1983,
and determined that it cost $18.00 per mile to drive. Even though the special purchase is ten
years old, it offers a significant savings over the current truck. The new truck also has a bucket
for rescuing rather than just a ladder. They will be bidding out several trucks later on this year to
replace other dilapidated trucks.
- Bid Award — 22-Cubic Yard Dual Arm Side -Loading Refuse Truck
Mr. Jeffrey Hudak, Central Services, stated the purchase is for the option of a demonstrator unit,
which is cheaper than new and will be available within four weeks instead of 28 weeks. Mr.
Horvath stated the truck is diesel instead of CNG, but two more trucks will be purchased soon
and will be CNG. Mr. Horvath stated the truck has been test driven and inspected. The ladder
will be able to be used on a newer model later on, saving the City money. Upon delivery, more
work will have to be done, but there is still a significant savings in purchasing this unit versus a
new one.
- Quotation Opening — Bonds Avenue Retention Are Landscape Improvements — Project
No. 113-021
Mr. Jack Dillon, Engineering, stated this project is to solve complaints regarding the previous
work done through a sewer project in the same area. They are installing trees and plants in the
islands with a one-year maintenance agreement as part of the quotation. Work is expected to be
under $25,000.00.
- Alley Vacations — Notre Dame
Mr. Mike Danch, Danch Harper & Associates, Inc., stated the two vacations in question are left
over from the Eddy Street Commons work done by Kite Realty. There will be 16 townhomes
built. There are no utilities in the alleys being vacated.
- Deed of Dedication — 732 St. Peter Street
Mr. Michael Danch, Danch Harper & Associates, Inc., stated Notre Dame is working with the
property owners at 732 St. Peter Street to purchase four feet of their property in order to widen
the alleyway to 14 feet for safety reasons. The City will need to accept the dedication of property
by way of letter, which will be repaved by the builder. No new subdivisions or variances will be
needed for this widening.
- Change Order — Primary Clarifier Rehabilitation and Equipment Upgrades — Project No.
111-071
Mr. Jacob Kloskinski, Environmental Services, stated the change order is for the addition of
conduits at the Headworks building to the primary buildings, controller modules switching from
SCL, which are not being made anymore and will be only be serviced for a short amount of time
longer. The numbers shown on the change order is a net amount of several decreases and
increases.
- Change Order— Fire Station No. 5 Demolition and Reconstruction —Project No. 111-015
AGENDA REVIEW SESSION AUGUST 8, 2013 231
Chief Cox and Assistant Chief Todd Skwarcan, Fire Department, stated the change order is for
several changes to the project. Overall, the contractor on the project has been good to work with
and the project should come in under budget overall.
Ms. Corte was instructed to post the agenda and notify the media and other persons who have
requested notice of the meeting agenda. No other business came before the Board. The meeting
adjourned at 12:24 p.m.

railing for their sidewalk cafe in the right-of-way at 123 West Washington Street. The
encroachment shall remain in the right-of-way until the Board of Public Works of the City of

Mr. Gilot stated an application for a Revocable Permit has been received from Eddy Street

46617, for the purpose of the installation of a sign for public parking at 1233 North Eddy Street.
The encroachment shall remain in the right of way until the Board of Public Works of the City of
South Bend determines that such encroachment is in any way impairing or interfering with the
highway or with the free and same flow of traffic. The Police Department stated the sign may
interfere with pedestrian traffic and would not be able to be seen due to parked vehicles. They
suggested affixing the sign to the parking garage itself. Mr. Gilot noted the parking garage is set
back too far and the sign was being placed in a planter. He stated it should not cause any visual
block. Upon a motion made by Mr. Gilot, seconded by Mr. Mecham and carried, the Revocable
Permit was approved.

APPLICANT: LaSalle Grill
BUSINESS ADDRESS: 115 West Colfax Avenue
DAYS/TIMES OF OPERATION: Mondays through Saturdays 10:00 a.m. to 5:00

FAVORABLE RECOMMENDATION — PETITION TO VACATE TWO ALLEYS: THE
NORTH/SOUTH ALLEY BETWEEN GEORGlANA STREET AND BURNS STREET
SOUTH OF NAPOLEON BOULEVARD FROM THE EAST/WEST ALLEY NORTH TO THE
PREVIOUSLY VACATED ALLEY; -AND THE NORTH/SOUTH ALLEY BETWEEN
BURNS STREET AND DUEY AVENUE SOUTH OF NAPOLEON BOULEVARD FROM
THE EAST/WEST ALLEY NORTH TO THE PREVIOUSLY VACATED ALLEY
Mr. Gilot indicated that Danch Harper and Associates, Inc., 1643 Commerce Drive, South Bend,
Indiana 46628, on behalf of the University of Notre Dame, has submitted a request to vacate the
above referenced alleys for the purpose of constructing townhomes. Mr. Gilot advised the Board
is in receipt of favorable recommendations concerning this Vacation Petition from the Area Plan
Commission, Police Department, Fire Department, Solid Waste, Community Investment, and
Engineering. Area Plan stated the vacation would not hinder the growth or orderly development
of the unit or neighborhood in which they are located or to which they are contiguous. The
vacations would not make access to the lands of the aggrieved person by means of public way
difficult or inconvenient. The vacations would not hinder the public's access to a church, school
or other public building or place. The vacations would not hinder the use of a public right-of-
way by the neighborhood in which they are located or to which they are contiguous. Mr. Mike
Danch, Danch, Harper and Associates, was present and informed the Board that these are two (2)
alley stubs left in place when the PUD was developed. He stated they need to be vacated to
complete the development of the subdivision. Mr. Danch noted there are no utilities present that
will need to be dealt with. Therefore, Ms. Roos made a motion to recommend approval of the
request for both of the alley vacations. Mr. Mecham seconded the motion which carried.
FAVORABLE RECOMMENDATION - PETITION TO VACATE THE EAST/WEST ALLEY
BETWEEN LINDSEY STREET AND LINCOLN WAY WEST FROM SHERMAN STREET
TO THE FIRST NORTH/SOUTH ALLEY
Mr. Gilot indicated that Clinton Gilkie, 514 Sherman Avenue, South Bend, Indiana 46628, has
submitted a request to vacate the above referenced alley. Mr. Gilot advised the Board is in
receipt of favorable recommendations concerning this Vacation Petition from the Police
Department, Fire Department, Solid Waste, Community Investment, and Engineering. Mr. Gilot
advised the Board is in receipt of unfavorable recommendations concerning this Vacation
Petition from the Area Plan Commission. Area Plan stated the vacation would hinder the growth
or orderly development of the unit or neighborhood in which it is located or to which it is
contiguous. The adjacent properties along Lincoln Way West are zoned Mixed Use District.
While the lots are currently vacant, any future development of the lot would require parking
behind the building. This parking would most likely need to be accessed from the alley. The
vacation would make access to the lands of the aggrieved person by means of public way
difficult or inconvenient. Until the vacant lots are developed, it would be premature to vacate the
public access to the rear of the lots that face Lincoln Way West. The vacation would not hinder
the public's access to a church, school or other public building or place. The vacation would
hinder the use of a public right-of-way by the neighborhood in which it is located or to which it
is contiguous. The vacation would limit access and use for the properties located on Lincoln Way
West. Ms. Catherine Hostetler, Historical Society, stated the Gilkie's home is a designated
historical landmark and the only structure on the vacation request property section. Ms. Greene
noted that any potential future development of the lots will be problematic due to the properties
being land -locked, with no access. Mr. Clinton Gilkie was present and explained that their desire
to vacate the alley is for safety concerns. He noted currently the area is being used as a dump
site. Ms. Roos explained that although currently there are no other structures in the location, with
multiple lots and multiple owners, the potential for future development will be a problem with no
access for the middle lot. The Board recommended approval of the vacation only if a cross -
access agreement was signed by all affected property owners allowing access by the middle
REGULAR MEETING AUGUST 13 2013 245
property owner's to their lot if the alley is vacated. Therefore, Mr. Gilot made a motion for a
favorable recommendation for the request for the alley vacation subject to the recording of a
cross access agreement with all property owners. Ms. Roos seconded the motion which carried.
Ms. Roos thanked the Gilkie's for their involvement in, and care of, their neighborhood.

control devices were approved:
