He added <br />that the site is located on the northeast corner of Poinsettia <br />Street and Santa Ana Boulevard. He pointed out that grant <br />funding for construction on the Center is expected in September, <br />1985 and that these funds will be matched with tax increment <br />funds from the Inter City Project Area. He added that the EDA <br />grant has, as part of its budget, $46,000 set aside for <br />architectural and engineering fees as they relate to <br />construction. He stated that staff wished to issue Requests for <br />Proposals to all of the architects in the Santa Ana area and <br />expected to present the recommended architect to the Agency on <br />August 20, 1985. The Executive Director/Economic Development <br />added that the Redevelopment Commission had recommended <br />unanimously that the Agency authorize staff to issue Requests for <br />Proposal for architectural services to design the proposed <br />Business Enterprise Center. <br /> <br />In response to a question from Chairman Griset, the Executive <br />Director/Economic Development stated that the coupling of Civic <br />Center Drive and Santa Ana Boulevard was being finalized by the <br />Public Works Agency. He added that this coupling might take a <br />portion of the parking area of the Business Enterprise Center <br />site but that there would be a compensating portion of the <br />adjoining site which could be used to replace this loss of <br />parking. <br /> <br />The Deputy City Manager/Development Services added that <br />staff expected the plans for this coupling to be complete by <br />September. <br /> <br />After further discussion, it was moved by Mrs. McGuigan, seconded <br />by Mr. Johnson that the Commission authorize staff to issue a <br />Request for Proposal for an architect to design the Business <br />Enterprise Center and act as general contractor during the <br />construction phase. <br /> <br />2. <br />
