(49 A(i) • r a n • LA m sQUrx eFti Community & Economic Development /86s 1200 County -City Building, 227 West Jefferson, South Bend, Indiana 46601 -1830 Phone 574/235 -9371 Fax 574/235 -9021 To: South Bend Redevelopment Commission From: Jitin Kain, Senior CED Specialist Subject: New sidewalks along Hill St. to complement current CSO work. Date: July 20, 2012 The East Bank Phase 3 Sewer Separation project is currently underway. This phase is expected to take several months to implement and impacts both commercial and residential areas in the East Bank Village. One impacted area is Hill St. between LaSalle and Colfax where the Commission also owns an approximately 0.5 acre lot. The CSO work will focus primarily on the East side of Hill Street and include the removal of asphalt and sidewalks to install new sewer pipes. New curbs and sidewalks will be installed on the East side of the Street. Staff believes this is a good opportunity to repair the sidewalk and treelawn area on the West side of the street along the Commission owned property. Staff further recommends that a small portion of sidewalk and treelawn by Access Imprinted Sportswear also be replaced on the west side of the street. See attachment A for details. The sidewalks on the west side along the Commission property are in dilapidated condition, posing as trip hazards to neighbors. A relatively small investment can help clean up and support the work of existing residential and commercial properties. Staff recommends repair of the sidewalk and treelawn area on the West side of Hill St. between LaSalle and Colfax. The work will involve the following: 1. Sidewalk removal and replacement 2. Removal and replacement of driveway approach 3. Removal and replacement of trees 4. Treelawn Please note that special instructions have been given to the contractor regarding tree removal on Hill Street. Two trees on Commission property at Hill & Colfax will be impacted by this project. No other trees will be removed. The contractor will add 4 total trees in the treelawn area. The cost of the above services has been estimated to be $11,600.00 which includes a 10% contingency. Therefore staff requests approval of the use of the South Bend Central Development Area TIF in an amount not to exceed $11,600.
