South Bend Redevelopment Commission <br /> Regular Meeting—August 9, 2011 <br /> 6. NEW BUSINESS (CONT.) <br /> C. Airport Economic Development Area <br /> (9) continued... <br /> Mr. Inks noted proposed Data Realty site in <br /> Ignition Park is an older industrial site with <br /> known environmental issues. The city has <br /> done a fair amount of clean up to it, <br /> particularly in the soil. However, there is <br /> still some ground water contamination on the <br /> site with potential for vapor to rise up <br /> through the soil, into the buildings creating <br /> unhealthful situations. This testing would <br /> identify whether there is vapor, the extent of <br /> it, the concentration of it, and whether there <br /> is anything necessary to mitigate that in the <br /> building design. A similar situation arose at <br /> the Oliver site and it may not be the last time <br /> the city runs into these issues. The cost of <br /> the proposal is $15,310. Staff recommends <br /> approval. <br /> Mr. Varner asked what the cost would be for <br /> the vapor. Mr. Inks replied that the vapor <br /> barrier could exceed $100,000. The testing <br /> will indicate whether the city needs to go that <br /> route. <br /> Mr. Downes questioned whether the vapor <br /> barrier affects the design to the park. Mr. <br /> Inks responded that the design would keep <br /> most of the water from perking through the <br /> site. <br /> Upon a motion by Mr. Downes, seconded by COMMISSION APPROVED THE PROPOSAL FOR <br /> Mr. Varner and unanimously carried, the PROFESSIONAL SERVICES RELATED TO THE DATA <br /> Commission approved the Proposal for REALTY SITE IN IGNITION PARK <br /> (ENVIRONMENTAL TESTING)IN THE AMOUNT OF <br /> professional services related to the Data $15,310. <br /> Realty site in Ignition Park(Environmental <br /> testing) in the amount of$15,310. <br /> 25 <br />
