South Bend Redevelopment Commission <br /> Regular Meeting—January 24, 2012 <br /> 6. NEW BUSINESS (CONT.) <br /> B. South Bend Central Development Area <br /> (6) continued... <br /> Agreement for the ACS/VA Project Exterior <br /> Site Improvements. The improvements are <br /> necessary to facilitate the CBOC VA project <br /> that will be located in the former Gates <br /> Toyota building located at 333 W Western <br /> Avenue. The improvements consist of <br /> exterior building improvements and <br /> improvements to the parking area located <br /> west of the building. <br /> The exterior building improvements consist <br /> of aesthetic and functional project <br /> components. To meet current code, all of the <br /> windows along the alley or east side of the <br /> building need to be blocked in or replaced <br /> with new fire code-rated windows to meet <br /> code for building spacing. Also, all of the <br /> windows on the second floor will be covered <br /> over or modified to present a uniform <br /> appearance for the south and west faces of <br /> the building. The windows are not being <br /> replaced or filled in because of the <br /> uncertainty with the reuse of the second floor <br /> in the future. Once all of the exterior work is <br /> done, the east, south and west faces of the <br /> building will be painted. <br /> The total project budget for all of the work is <br /> $432,000. The work will all be publically <br /> bid through the Board of Public Works. Staff <br /> requests approval of Resolution No. 3005 <br /> Mr. Varner asked for clarification regarding <br /> lease opportunities versus clinic expansion <br /> into the remainder of the building. Mr. Inks <br /> replied that the remainder of the building is <br /> 18 <br />
