of the project cost submitted to
the council by Turner and Col-
lie about nine months ago.
The preliminary estimate by
the engineering firm of $273,600
drew some sharp comments
Councilman Raymond Donnelly,
who voted against awarding the
contract.
Donnelly said he preferred to
delay action on the award and
take a chance on the cost going
up. "I still say," Donnelly said,
"that anyone who missed s bid
30 per cent could have over-
looked something."
Johnson defended the preilml-
nary estimate, however. "Since
that estimate was made nine
months ago,” Johnson said,
"some changes have been made
In additions to the facility and
we didn't have a report on soli
conditions at that time. And
costs of equipment continues to
rise," he said.
Clyde Smith of Austin, repre-
senting his firm, also defended
the engineering firm’s prelimi-
nary estimate. "I’ve made a lot
of bids," he said, “and these
estimates are made from nine
to 18 months in advance— they
are very preliminary."
Johnson explained the neces-
sity of action by Wednesday this
way. "It would avoid complica-
tions that may arise from the
expiration of a wage structure
provision of the Federal Wage
and Hour Law, " he said.
He said that uniels the cotv
tract was awarded by June 15,
"it may be necessary to read-
vertise for bids under a new
wage scale that might possibly
be Increased over the previous
low tad from Couch."
Othoel Couch, representing his
firm, explained that he would
not like to wait 30 days before
knowing if be would get the
contract. He said It tied up
banding power and limited
bidding on other Jobs. *
After an hour and 45 minutes
of discussion, Councilman Al-
bert Fanestiel made the motion
to accept the Couch bid. It was
seconded by Councilman Clem
Massey, Fanestiel, Massey and
