SOUT$ A,t,. Community & Economic Development 1200 County -City Building, 227 West Jefferson, South Bend, Indiana 46601 -1830 Phone 574/235 -9371 Fax 574/235 -9021 To: Redevelopment Commission From: Bill Schalliol, Economic Development Planner Subject: Professional Service Proposal - Wightman Petrie, Inc. Michiana Lock & Key Demolition & Site Reconstruction Project Date: May 3, 2011 Attached to this memorandum is a multi -step professional service proposal from Wightman Petrie to provide services to the City for the demolition of the former Michiana Lock & Key property and the associated site redevelopment. The proposal covers the general tasks related to demolition planning including the following: 1. Phase 1 Environmental Site Assessment 2. Ground Penetrating Radar Survey 3. Survey for Asbestos - Containing Materials 4. Demolition Specification Preparation Task 2, the Ground Penetrating Radar Survey, which has become a new demolition planning item, has become important to this specific demolition planning as local lore suggests that a railroad box car might be buried in the parking area of the site. If that is the case, we need to understand where additional site work might be needed during the demolition phase of this project. This proposal also covers a fifth task which is Site Layout and Construction Design Services. As part of the reuse of the site in conjunction with the Coveleski Park plan, a site plan and construction drawings need to be prepared to develop a connector driveway between Monroe Street and the adjacent parking area to the south as well as walk and driveway replacement plans and a code compliant landscape plan need to be prepared for the property. The reuse of the site will be for parking and transportation connectivity. The total proposal amount is $13,500.00 and staff requests a not to exceed approval of $15,000.00 to cover unforeseen expenses related to site investigation and testing. Staff request approval of this proposal. What We Do Today Makes A Difference!
