<br />RESOLUTIONS
<br />RESOLUTION NO. 491 -75
<br />A RESOLUTION OF THE COMMON COUNCIL OF THE
<br />CITY OF SOUTH BEND, INDIANA, APPROVING THE
<br />AWARDING OF ONE CONTRACT IN EXCESS OF
<br />$5,000 FOR REHABILITATION WORK IN THE
<br />SOUTHEAST NEIGHBORHOOD DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM.
<br />WHEREAS, under the provisions of Ordinance No. 5689 -74, passed by the South
<br />Bend Common Council on June 24, 1974, all contracts in the Neighborhood Development
<br />Program in excess of $5,000 must be approved by the Common Council; and
<br />WHEREAS, low bids for one property to be rehabilitated under the Neighborhood
<br />Development Program have exceeded $5,000.
<br />NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Common Council of the City of South Bend,
<br />Indiana:
<br />SECTION I. That approval be granted to the Redevelopment Commission of the City
<br />of South Bend, Indiana, to enter into a contract with Madison Builders, Inc., for the
<br />rehabilitation of the following property:
<br />WNK Replat of Wenger's 6th 505 East Broadway $6,494.00
<br />Lot 166
<br />SECTION II. This resolution shall be in full force and effect from and after
<br />its adoption by the Common Council and its approval by the Mayor of the City of South
<br />Bend, Indiana.
<br />s/ Roger 0. Parent
<br />Member of the Common Council
<br />A public hearing was held at this time on the resolution. Mr. Keith Crighton, Manager of the
<br />Bureau of Housing, indicated that the resolution represented the last request for permission to
<br />enter into a contract using revenue sharing funds for rehabilitation work in the southeast side.
<br />He requested that the resolution be amended to award the contract to Madison Builders, Inc.,
<br />rather than Ted Combs Decorating and Construction Company. Councilman Miller made a motion to so
<br />amend the resolution, seconded by Councilman Taylor. The motion carried. Councilman Miller then
<br />made a motion to adopt the resolution, as amended, seconded by Councilman Serge. Councilman
<br />Kopczynski indicated that many times the contracts had been let in excess of $5,000. He questione
<br />this, wondering why the $5,000 limit had been exceeded. Mr. Crighton stated that there was
<br />approximately $6,200 or $6,300 spent in excess of the $5,000 limit for about 66 units. Councilman
<br />Miller indicated that the Council had set the contract amount at $5,000 and asked that it approve
<br />anything in excess of that. He felt the $5,000 limit tended to hold the price down'
<br />Nemeth indicated that the $5,000 figure had been chosen because it was the same figure used in the
<br />Model Cities contracts. The resolution was adopted by a roll call vote of nine ayes (Councilmen
<br />Serge, Szymkowiak, Miller, Taylor, Kopczynski, Horvath, Nemeth, Newburn and Parent).
