Redevelopment Commission approves $1.4 million design contract for Fillmore-Larison intersection and related work
Summary
The commission authorized a design contract with Lochmuller Group to complete intersection design at Fillmore and Larison, an employee entrance connection and related roadway segments; staff said bidding is targeted for August and some construction elements could begin this year.
The St. Joseph County Redevelopment Commission approved a professional services contract with Lochmuller Group on April 15 to design intersection and roadway improvements in the Fillmore-Larison corridor, a project tied to broader work on State Route 2 and nearby industrial development.
Staff said the contract — approximately $1.4 million — covers design of the intersection at Fillmore and Larison, the employee-entrance drive about 650 feet south of Fillmore, and the roadway link from the end of a bridge segment to the entrance drive. The contract includes a construction engineering line item (staff cited roughly $750,000) to provide on-site engineering during construction.
Why it matters: the design work supports a prospective supplier village and future property dispositions in the area; staff said holding the property in the redevelopment commission’s control will simplify right-of-way work and any future dedications. Staff also noted the contract meshes with State Route 2 / Larison interchange work that aims to select a design-builder by June and begin construction before year end, with an anticipated corridor completion in December 2027.
Vote: The contract was approved by roll call (Trellen Aye; Volker Aye; Jordan Yes).
What happens next: staff intends to go to bid in August for construction, continue coordination with the State Route 2 project, and manage any necessary property adjustments related to right-of-way and future development.
