South Bend Redevelopment Commission <br />Regular Meeting -March 2, 2007 <br />6. NEW BUSINESS (CONT.) <br />B. South Bend Central Development Area <br />() continued... <br />Conspect Services has submitted an estimate <br />of three different scenarios for the cost of <br />inspecting the roof and overseeing any <br />necessary repairs. The estimates range from <br />$350 to $3,075. Staff recommends accepting <br />the proposal from Conspect Services with a <br />not to exceed amount of $5,000. <br />Mr. Peczkowski asked the nature of the <br />business relationship between Conspect <br />Services and KRC Roofing. Mr. Mathia <br />responded that they are different companies. <br />Conspect is strictly a roof consultant. <br />Mr. Peczkowski asked if KRC was incapable <br />of doing the inspection. Mr. Mathia <br />responded that we prefer to hire someone <br />independent to do the inspection so the <br />roofing contractor doesn't build the job up. <br />It's our way of protecting public funds. <br />Mr. Peczkowski asked if the roof is leaking. <br />Mr. Mathia responded that it has been in the <br />past. VUe feel it is good to check it every <br />spring following the winter's wear. <br />Mr. Peczkowski asked if there aren't savings <br />to be had by just having the roofer do the <br />inspection and repairs. Ms. Jones responded <br />that the Commission believes the better <br />course of action is to hire an independent <br />inspector who would not stand to gain from <br />the work recommended. <br />Mr. Peczkowski also questioned the wisdom <br />ofapproving anot-to-exceed amount of <br />8 <br />
