Gary City Manager Dena Spillman Director Community Development April 26, 1982 Allocation of $55,000 in Community Development Block Grant Funds to DDA to Cover Park West Consultant Additional Fees ..,CLC_L,R S City Commission Agenda - May 13, 1982 IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT $55,000 IN COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT FUNDS BE ALLOCATED TO THE DOWNTOWN DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY VIA THE EN- CLOSED RESOLUTION TO COVER THE COST OF ADDITIONAL CONSULTANT SERVICES ON THE PARK WEST PROJECT BEYOND THE ORIGINAL CONTRACTED SCOPE OF SERVICES. In order to be responsive to citizen concerns and to recommendations of the Park West Civic Association, a number of changes had to be made by the DDA consultant in the design and other aspects of the recommended redevelopment plan, project model, and final report. The citizen participation element of the project and the aforementioned plan changes caused the project to -extend beyond the nine -month period covered in the consultant contract. This in turn required an update in the feasibility analysis originally conducted in 1980 to cover increases in land acquisition costs, building construction costs and prevailing bond interest rates and other affected project elements. Project costs beyond those previously allocated amount to $55,000 and are computed as follows: - Project model $ 9,000 - Report printing and camera ready graphics 28,000 - Feasibility analysis update 8,000 - Citizen participation resulting in design and document changes 10,000 55,000 82-414 Howard Gary 4/26/82 page 2 The requested allocation is solely for costs incurred by consultants Wallace, Roberts & Todd and American City Corporation retained by the DDA and do not represent any charges for DDA staff or other direct DDA costs. It is therefore recommended that the Downtown Development Authority be allocated an additional $55,000 from Community Development Block Grant funds for this purpose. DS:cr g2 - 4 14
