South Bend Redevelopment Commission <br /> Regular Meeting—August 9, 2011 <br /> 6. NEW BUSINESS (CONT.) <br /> B. South Bend Central Development Area <br /> (3) continued... <br /> tool allows broader access to all of the <br /> Buxton retail clients, versus just those that <br /> are on the match list and provided to the City <br /> within Scout. The program will also create <br /> consumer propensity reports and retail <br /> leakage reports. These added features will <br /> allow staff to be more responsive in other <br /> parts of the city with a vast amount of retail <br /> information and will also allow for very site <br /> specific studies, like at Coveleski Park or the <br /> Hall of Fame. <br /> When the city entered into its existing <br /> contract with Buxton, the city received a <br /> subscription to the Scout program at no cost <br /> as part of the Community ID refresh, and <br /> then entered into a 1 year contract at <br /> $1,000/month for the service which will end <br /> at the end of calendar year 2011. The <br /> attached proposal from Buxton would allows <br /> the city to upgrade to the Scout power user <br /> program now and start the subscription price <br /> of$1,250/month beginning January 1, 2012. <br /> Staff also recommends adding the Retail <br /> Matching Model for an additional <br /> $500/month to give additional flexibility in <br /> matching and profiling potential retail clients <br /> for various sites across the city. The total <br /> contract amount with Buxton for the <br /> upgraded services would be $21,000. <br /> Because the primary use for this program <br /> would be for the downtown area, the funding <br /> for this request would come from the <br /> SBCDA TIF budget. Staff requests approval <br /> of this proposal. <br /> 12 <br />
