SUBJECT: Request to Establish Budget For "Coal Line" Engineering Services
Staff requests approval of $750,000 ($625,855 + 20% contingency) from the River West
TIF to establish a budget towards engineering services for the "Coal Line".
The City of South Bend through its Board of Public Works has contracted with United
Consulting out of Indianapolis to complete the necessary engineering work for Phase I and
Phase II. See attached map for details. The work is expected to include:
•Design for multiuse trail that connects into both Riverside and East Bank Trails
•Necessary property acquisition for trail corridor
•Landscape architecture
The project is programmed with federal funds with construction of both phases anticipated
for completion by 2020. The CMAQ (Congestion, Mitigation, and Air Quality) funds will
reimburse the City of South Bend for 80% of funding for the initial contract and federally
approved cost increases beyond that amount.
