We have appreciated being able to be of service to you in the past and hope to be afforded the opportunity to provide you with our services for this project. UNDERSTANDING OF THE ASSIGNMENT The City of South Bend is looking for a consulting firm to assist in the preparation of design and development of Construction Documents for limited streetscape improvements on the west side of Michigan Street between Monroe Street and Western Avenue. The property owners of the DeNolf's building mentioned to the City of South Bend that the existing pedestrian lights are no longer working and that the existing raised tree planting beds are deteriorating. Based on our Scoping Meeting held on October 20, 2020 it is our understanding that based on limited funds the proposed work scope is to include the removal of the existing globe lights, installation of new pedestrian lights that match the new lights on Michigan Street north of Western Avenue, and repairs to the existing raised brick planters. The existing service point that may be utilized for the new street lights is located at the southeast corner of the Michigan Street and Monroe Street. Per conversations with the City and per our site visit it is understood that it is the City's desire to retain the existing street trees that are within the existing raised planting beds.
