South Bend Redevelopment Commission <br />Rescheduled Regular Meeting -July 9, 2010 <br />6. NEW BUSINESS (CONT.) <br />B. South Bend Central Development Area <br />(1) continued... <br />condominiums were very concerned about <br />the appearance of the current tent on the <br />island. Staff will return to the Commission at <br />a later date for an appropriation of TIF funds <br />to construct the new pavilion. <br />Upon a motion by Ms. King, seconded by <br />Mr. Alford and unanimously carried, the <br />Commission accepted the proposal from <br />ADG for design of Century Center Island <br />Park Pavilion. <br />(2) Special Purchase Request related to <br />Century Center Island Park (Furnishings) <br />Mr. Inks noted that on Apri123 the <br />Commission approved a funding request and <br />added $79,000 to be available to Island Park <br />to deal with the furnishings for the park. The <br />request today is that the purchase be <br />considered a sole source purchase for which <br />it is not appropriate to seek bids or quotes. <br />For a purchase of this size, the city's policy <br />is to require three quotes. But because of the <br />nature of the equipment we are looking for <br />and the requirements of Century Center, it's <br />not a competitive situation. There is only <br />one vendor that can meet those requirements. <br />We believe we have met the requirements to <br />consider this a special request for a sole <br />source purchase. The company to be used is <br />providing almost a 17% discount on the <br />prices. The Commission previously <br />approved the use of $79,000 for the purchase. <br />The total cost in this quote is $56,508. Staff <br />recommends approving the special purchase <br />COMMISSION ACCEPTED THE PROPOSAL FROM <br />ADG FOR DESIGN OF CENTURY CENTER ISLAND <br />PARK PAVILION <br />13 <br />
