A special meeting of the City Council of Delray Beach was held
in the Council Chambers at 8:00 PoM., with Mayor George V. Warren in
the Chair, City Manager Louis J. Smitzes, City Attorney John Ross
Adams and Councilmen A1 C. Avery, Dugal G. Campbell, Clenn B. Sundy
and John A. Thayer being present.
1. An opening prayer was delivered by Elder Hoyt B. Simms.
2. On motion by Mm. Sundy and seconded by Mr. Avery, the m~..autes of
~the October 9th, 1961 meeting were unanimously approved.
3. Under recognition of public requests from the floor, Father Austin
Cooper addressed the Council as follows:
"I am Father Austin Cooper, Vicar of St. Matthew's Episcopal
Church of De]may Beach, President of the Delray Beach Branch of
N.A.A.C.P. Let me first of. all allay the fears and suspicion of
all the people in Del~ay Beach. I am not a northerner,I am very
much southern. I was born and reared in Dade County. I received
my college education in Raleigh, N. C. I received my seminary
training i~ the mid-west and not in the north, so I am very much
southern. I want to also say that this movement of equality for
negroes is not centered around me so much as it is centered a-
round a desire in the hearts of people, negro people, to be given
first class citizenship even here in Delray Beach. If I should
leave De]may Beach tomorrow morning this movement which has been
begun, will continue I can assure you. Even the negroes who tell
you that they are satisfied are only kidding you gentlemen. They
want their equality. They don't want you to know that they want
it. They expect others to go and get it for them. Don't be
kidded, gentlemen, I can assure you. Let me also say that when
I came to Delray Beach a year ago that the negroes themselves
had begun to garner their forces, so this is not anything which
I started. It had begun before I came to Delray Beach. I met
with you in a meeting a few weeks ago, a closed meeting, at
which time I suggested that if you members of the Council, as
you say recognize a national law, I' dldntt say that you recog-
nized the inevitable if we have to go to court, and, we will go
if we have,to go.. I propose to you that you issue a public
statement of policy regarding the use of all of the city facili-
ties in Delray Beach with regards to being used by all citizens.
That such a policy must be acceptable to all the negro people.
.That if such a policy contains a remote hint to segregation we
would then have to challenge it. This I proposed to you, you
remember. No city can be great as long as one segregation ex-
ample exists. No city can call itself great as long as people
are discriminated against. This is not a democracy I can assure
you, not that which my professors in school taught me, I dontt
know about the other people. Segregation is expensive, I'm
sure you know. Segregation is certainly not good economics and
these figures which I quote with reference to the Ocean Ridge
Beach, someth/~g like $%1,~:1:2.00 have been spent in recent years
by this city on the Ocean Ridge Beach mainly for personal services.
This, to me, and to all well thinking people, is a waste of tax
payers money, that hard earned money of both white and negro peo-
ple. This is a lot of money which could be used here in Delray
Beach for other purposes. As only one example, you, the city
fathers, have it in your power to set an example for Delray Beach
and for all of the other cities surrounding, if you will issue a
statement of policy regarding the use of municipal facilities by
the citizens of Delray Beach. I repeat, such a policy must be
free from any hint of segregation. Let me assure you gentlemen
that our membership is growing each week. Our membership is
growing each week. Until such time as a policy is forthwith,
comes forthwith from you, we on the west side, 'those members of
N.A.A.C.P. and all other interested persons will intensify, we
will step up our campaign. You have in your power to do what
ia right, to do what is Just, to do what is Godly. I dontt know
about the rest of you people here but I prayed before I came to-
night. That is a part of my life as a priest, to pray. I'm sure

"you would have done the same thing, or you ought to have if
you did not, to decide on such an important issue. I ask you
again to issue a policy. I remind you that until such time
as one is coming forth from you~ we In the N.A..A.C.P., we In-
terested citizens of the west side~ will step up ottr campaisn.
I thank you."
~r. Bob Fackle~ of Fackle~s ~intl~ Shop said that he did not
approve of ~is ~n making t~eats against the cit~ of Del~ay Beach
in one breath and in the next b~eath speaking of God, ~d that in
hie ~owledge the N.A.A.C.P. Is ~e onl~ o~g~ization in the State
of Florida that has refused to abide by the state laws, and that he
does not thi~ that the Council would be doi~ the ~i~t thing to
let this ~n t~eaten them with court action ~d stepping up thel~
c~aign with~t letting him ~ow Just ~ere he studs.
Mayor Warren stated t~t, as ~e governing body, the Council has
to subscribe to the Federal Law, that the Oo~cil and Inter-Racial
Co, tree all ~e working on it for the good of Delray Beach.
~s. Eleanor G~ingle who is in the real estate business said that
people realize that the laws of the supreme oo~t and other courts
must be followed but the comities in De~ay Beach are somewhat dif-
ferent, ~d that since Delray Beach is a very hi~ class co~nity and
one that depends largely on ~e tourist trade that sacrifices must be
~de by the citizens in order to keep ~at business for the economy of
Delray Beach.
D~ing follow~g co~ents, ~. C~pbell questioned whether Father
Cooper represented the N.A.AeO.P. as a ~ster of the gospel or as
an individual, and that he wondered how ~ch emphasis Father Cooper
wanted people of De~ay Beach and others to place on ~e fact that he
was seemi~ speaking as a ~ister of t~ gospel rather th~ as
individual. ~. C~bell further stated that he di~'t believe there
was any place, in what was trying to be worked out, for t~eats.
Mayor Warren read a lette~ from ~e Inter-Racial Comittee which
is attached to and ~de a part of the official c~y of these ~nutes.*
~. O~bell moved that receipt of the letter be ac~owledged ~d
acceptance of the invitation for meeti~ of Octobe~ 31st, the motion
being seco~ed by ~. ~ayev and carried
~. Campbell stated that it should be understood ~at the Beach
Comittee continues to e~at and is an Inter-Racial co~ttee to the
s~e extent as the other co~ttee, and also hilly co,ended
Police Depar~ent on their work concerning this matter.
3. ~. Ralph ~utsen called attention to an article in the Sun-
Sentinel paper of Monday, Ootobe~ 16, 1961 reg~ding c~ents on
sports by the Recreational D~ector.
4. Mayor Warren read t~ Beautification Comlttee meeting minutes of
October 12th, 1961.
Mayo~ Warren also presented the following letter from
J. Boone, dated Octobe~ 11, 1961.
"Althou~ you may have noticed or had your attention called to
the i~rovements made, we wish to officially i~orm 2ou that
the area west of the F.E.O. tracks between S. E. 10th St. and
the Swinton Avenue rai~oad crossing, has been filled ~d is
now landscaped.
"This is a donation we.'~e pleased ~o .make .to ~vove our City
in general, and our nei~borhood in p~ticul~. A further
donation is being ~de by ~. Jim Nowlin, who is supplying a
spri~ler system ~d water from his well.
"Now that this small ,pa~k~ has been developed, it is hoped
that the city c~ see its way clear to maintain it, and it
is the purpose of this letter to ask ~at you favorably
consider this request fora its mainten~ce."
It was ~ved by ~. C~bell, seconded by ~. Sundy ~d ~an~ous-
ly c~ried that a letter of appreciation be ~itten to ~. Boone and
that the City M~ager be instructed to have this landscaped area main-
tained. -2- 10-16-61

5. Mayor Warren presented a letter from the Military Order of the
Purple Heart of the United States of America, proclaiming October P}!th
1961 as United Nations Day.
Mayor Warren then appointed the Com~aanders of the Sherman Williams
Post No. 188, Milton-Myers Post No. 65 and V.F.W. O'Neal P~iest Post
No. 4141 as a committee in charge of any program or recognition for
the United Nations Day.
6.a. Regarding the request of Sherman Williams Post No. 188 for per-
mit to hold a Festival on November 20th th~u 25th, which item was ta-
bled on October 9th for one week, Mr. Campbell read the following
ordinanc e.
O DINA O NO. G-4 .
AN OP INANOE OF CI Y CO.OIL OF

public hearing.to be held on said Ordinance on November 6th.
6.b. Mr. Avery moved that the request of Mr. Fred Wilson to operate
a taxicab service be granted. The motion was seconded by Mr. Campbell
and carried unan~us12.
X. Mr. Campbell moved that *.he City Manager be instructed to present
at the next meeting any additions, corrections, deletions or whatever
is necessary to bring about the following: The owners of licenses or
permits issued to operate taxicabs in the city be held to that on each
and every car that they operate, be held to that period under which
the car is actually on the streets and in operation. That if a cam is
placed in storage a/%~ ~le city is notified that the insurance is no
longer in effect, at ~at ti~e the permit is withdrawn, and further
that those people who have established on their performance and the
operation of thei~ taxicabs be given a preference when and if they
wish to pick up a license at a later date. Mr. 0ampbell stated that
he was trying to accomplish getting away from twenty three permits out-
standing with eighteen in operation and men asking for a license and
the Oouncil hesitating because they think there are enough licenses
already out. The motion was seconded by Mr. Sundy and carried unani-
mously.
6.c. Mr. Campbell moved that a committee be appointed by the Mayor to
study all parts of the operation of the Water Department in the same
manner that it might be studied if it was a separate water company
operating ~nder a board of directors. The motion was seconded by Mm.
Thayer and carried unanimously.
Mayor Warren then appointed said committee as follows: Mr. Ward
Robinson as Chairman, City Manager Louis Smitzes and Councilman Dugal
Campbell.
6.d. Regarding a request to establish a Superintendent of Parks, City
Manager Smitzes stated that this is in conformance with the Council's
desire to establish a Parks Division under the direct supervision of a
Superintendent who would be directly responsible to the Directo~ of
Public Works and that the current budget allows for approximately
$3,600. salary, and requested that a salary of $5,000. be allowed with
the additional amouht being transferred from the Contingency Fund, it
being so moved by Mr. Oampbell, seconded by Mr. Sundy and unanimously
carried.
6.e. Regarding limitation of ~Me~ine Supplies! and clarification of
~Grant~ to Lessee of the City Docks, Mr. Thayer stated that at the
meeting last week a motion was made, which he seconded, to accept the
Planning Board Report rega~ding the services at the Oity Docks, and in
seconding that motion he did not realize that there was any question
about the extension or addition to the building, that he Just thought
it conoerned things to be sold at the docks. Mr. Thayer further stated
that he did not believe that the recommendation of the Planning Board,
according to their statement, provided for an~ addition to the build- _
lng, or another building, and felt that the recommendations of the
10-16-61
OCTOBER 16, 1961.
Planning Boemd should be more inclusive than they were in the recom-
mendation that they made last week as it said nothing about the build-
ing or an addition to it.
M~. Thayer then moved to rescind the action taken by the Council
in session last Monday evening, October 9th, pertaining to sustaining
the recommendation as set forth in the Planning Board Report dated
October 2, 1961 concerning the Board.s findings as a result of the
public hearing held September 29th on the request of Mr. Jarman Smith.
The motion was seconded by Mm. Campbell.
Following discussion Mr. Sundy moved to table that motion for a
week. The motion was seconded by Mr. Avery and upon call of ro11, Mm.
Avery and Mm. Sundy voted in favor of the motion, Mr. Campbell, Mm.
Thayer and Mayor Warren being opposed. The motion did not csmry.
Upon call of roll on the motion to rescind action taken by the
Council on October 9th, Mr. Campbell, Mm. Thayer and Mayor Warren
voted in favor of the motion, Mr. Avery and Mr. Sundy being opposed.
Mr. Thayer then moved that the Planning Board be requested to sub-
mit a complete report and recommendations concerning use of the City
Docks as a result of the public hearing held on September 29th, the
motion being seconded by Mm. Campbell.
During discussion City Clerk Worthing was requested to read the
public notice given concerning the public hearing in question. Mr.
0am--pbell then stated that the Board must have had a beaming as to the
building as well as to .the marine supplies, but there is no recommenm-
dation made as to the building in the Planning Boardts Report. Mr.
Paul Enowles, Chairman of the Planning Board, stated that he was quite
sure the Board would be willing to reconvene and add to or clarify
their recommendation. Since Mr. Avery would not be present at the
next nouncil meeting Mr. Campbell asked Mr. Knowles if he could give
the Council a statement as to whether the Board intends to include the
building, or did not intend to include the building in their recommen-
dations. Following further lengthy discussion the Council recessed
for ten minutes to discuss with Mm. Knowles the Planning Board's re-
commendations after which Mm. Thayer withdrew his motion that the
Planning Board be requested to submit a complete report and recommen-
dations concerning use of the City Docks as a result of the public
hearing held on September 29th, and Mr. Campbell withdrew his second
to that motion.
Mr. Campbell then spoke as follows: "~. Mayor, I would like to
offer the following motion. As the chairman of the Planning Board has
clarified that it was. the intent of his report to cover recommendation
for permission to build either an addition or a new building, and to
permit retail sales, I now move that the petition for permissive use
for marine sales and for extension of the building be denied." The
motion was seconded by Mr. Thayer. Following further discussion and
comments and upon call of roll, Mr. Campbell, Mr. Thayer and Mayor
Warren voted in favor of the motion and Mr. Avery and Mm. Sundy were
opposed.
Mr. Sundy asked of the City Attorney: "Would we be liable for any
inconvenience or any expense that Jarman Smith has gone to this Week,
if he has hired an architect or anything after we voted to gi~o him _..
~armission."
City Attorney: "I think this is dangerous ground that you are
getting into when you rescind things because there certainly is a
possibility on occasions such as this that you could incur liability.
Actually in this particular case I think you still-----it was still
all pending on the approval of the Council on the lease so I doubt
if there was Justification for his incurring too many expenses. Did
I answer your question?"
Mr. Sundy: "I didn,t know whether the action of the Council last
Monday night in going along with the recommendation of the Planning
Board would have any bearing on him going ahead with his project or
not."
City Attorney: "But for the fact that you still retained the
authority to.approve the lease I-----------"
Mr. Avery: "But that was related to the sale of the things we were
going to spell out in the lease, what could be sold and could not be
s old----------"
City Attorney: "I~m not arguing. I am Just saying I think you
probably retained the right to specify the dimensions of the building
too."

9.a. City Manager Smitzes reviewed the following memorandum regard-
lng the cost of beach repairs as recommended by the Beautification
Committee, said memorandum being from the Director of Public Works.
"Following is an estimate of the cost of repairs and improve-
ments as recommended by the Beautification Committee, and
quested by a motion of the Council in the regular meeting of
September 25, 1961.
"The following estimate includes the cost of work to be done
by contract unless otherwise indicated:
"1. ~ Planting of up to 70-80 coconut palms......... $750
2. Landscaping 32' stmip between Miramar and
Ingraham Streets to be done by contract
except that additional sprinklers, as needed,
will
be
fu~nished
by
city
forces.
............. ~00
3. Repair of wooden steps........................~4450
4. Extending of storm sewer outfalls into the
ocean by contract............................. $6000
5. Provide four additional shelters approximately
10 ' square with canvas tops................... $1200
6. Lower garbage cans (22) into ground by sinking
section of reinforced concrete pipe........... $1100
Total of above work................$11,900
"It is strongly recommended however that item 4, extending the
outfalls to the waterts edge, be eliminated in favor of the
construction of concrete headwalls as has been done in three
locations. Due to the changing elevation of the sand on the
beach, repeated attempts to extend the outfalls toward the
ocean have in the past proved unsuccessful. If the~pipes are
placed low enough so ~bat they will not be uncovered and under-
mined by the changing elevation of the beach, they must then be
extended out into the surf with the result that the first storm
plugs the ends of the pipes with sand, and the water overflowing
the sidewalk from the street washes out the entire structure in
a very short period.
"On the other hand, we have recently experimented with the con-
struction of concrete headwalls, supported by iron pipes used
as pilings and driven into the sand as deeply as possible. To
date these headwall structures have been successful in retain-
ing the sand embankment on the street side, although there is
of course some channeling across the beach.
"If the Council should decide to permit headwalls to be con-
structed on the remaining seven outfalls by city forces, item
4 would be reduced from $6000 to $2100.
"It is further requested that before proceeding with item 6,
the lowering of garbage cans into pits in the ground, that
the possibility of securing a plastic or fiberglass container
presenting a much better appearance be investigated. It would
be difficult to maintain the proposed pits in a condition free
of sand and debris, and the lowered elevation of cans makes
them much more inconvenient for use both by the public and
for emptying by our garbage crews.
"In regard to the other items mentioned by the Beautification
Committee:
"1. The rusty traffic signs will be replaced as quickly as
possible.
2. The pavilion can be divided at no great cost so that bathers
and non-bathers may use specific areas."

~e 0ity N~nager asked City Engineer Fleming to explain more fully
Just w~mat the difference ia between the $6,000. storm sever outfall
and the $2,100. stor~ sewer provision as proposed, ~hich the Engineer
did in detail. Mr'. Campbell asked if that took ca~e of the bad one by
the Seacrast Hotel, to which Mr. Flemin~ answered8 "That one actually
should not exist. We have a design showing a line extended across to
the east side of the street there. I believe that we can make the
original installation and ttxen extend it acr~as the street later, but
it shOUld have an ~ntake on the west side of the street."
Mr. Cam~belA moved to approve Item 1 which .isplant. ing of coconut
palms, seventy o~ eighty of them, at a cost of $?~O.00, Item 2 ~ioh
is 'the landscapir~ .of a 32! strip between Mi~ama~ D~ive and Ing~aham
Street and Item 3 to repair the wooden steps, the motion being second-
ed b2 Mr. Tha~e~ and tlnanimousl2 ca, tied.
Mr. Campbell the~ moved, regarding Item 6, to accept the recomuen-
darien of the City Engineer not to sink the garbage cans, and refer the
matter back to the Beautification Committee for further study. The
motion was seconded by Mr. Thayer and ca~ried unanimously.
M~. Campbell then moved, regarding Item %, that further study be
had on this point, that is the additional shelters, as today the can-
Vas on the large shelter at the pavilion has gone once again~ also to
accept the Engineers reocm~endations on Item 4. The motion was second-
ed by Mr. Thayer and tax, led unanimously.
9.b. Regarding the report dated September 29th, 1961 from the audit-
~ng firm of Hines & Hines, City Manager Smitzes informed the 0ouncil
that it had been gone over in detail with the auditors and certain
recommemdations were discussed in detail. M~, Campbell moved that
the auditors repo~t be accepted and the recommendations contained
therein be put into effect as soon as possible, the motion being
seconded by Mr. Sundy and unanimously ca~ried.
X. Mr. Thayer reporSed that a gentleman in ~ard I was com~mlaining
about sea g~aPes along North Ocean Blvd. scratching his car and othe~
cars and that he Bad ~itten to the property owner who had the sea
grapes removed and ~ed Mr. Thayer for calling it to her attention.
X. Mr. Sund~ asked if there could be something done about synch~oniz-
lingthe traffic li~l~ts th~u town, and the City ~anager said that there
:~ould be a atud~ a~d x~port made.
X. Mr. Campbell e~ked for a ~eport as to when the Police Dep~tment
'~ould reccenuend the parking meters be put into effect and that ~anuary
?irst has been suggested.
.~. Mr. Ave~-y asked if .an~ contact had been made with the County
~ommissioners and County Engineer concerning the d~alnage problem on
~. E. ~nd Avenue in the vicinity of ~nd Street.
The City Manager reported that there had been some progress made
and that the Ci~ Engineer had met with the County Engineer in re-
sponse to Count-y~ Ccem~ission action authorizing a fifly'fifty drainage
~roJect to be participated in by the City and the County. This neces-
~itates the preparation of a legal document and sketches to follow
~hrough on the regula~ assessment procedure and-' that City Attorney
~dams, Mr. Middleton and the County Attorney are to get together and
?repare the legal document to present to the Council for consideration.
~. Mayor Wa~-~en informed the Council that on Gleason Street at the
~sidence of Dr. Huntington and on Andrews Avenue at the residence of
:~s. ~pitzley, the co,pan2 who did the g~ass planting after the gas
lines were installed, failed to provide muck or proper substance in re-
placing the sod~ also on the east-west street at the Huntington resi-
dence there is a three foot open hole at the edge of the paving which
she believes should be taken care of by the city.
10.a. City ~anager Smitzes presented bills for. a~proval as follows~
General Fund $ 1~.,~9§.1~

ORDINANCE NO. G-~ll.
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF DELRAY BEACH,
~LORIDA, AMENDING CHAPTER 2~786, SPECIAL
LAW~ OF FLORIDA, ACT30~ 1949, AS AMENDED,
SAME BEING THE CHARTER 0F ~AID CITY BY
AMENDING SECTION 78 THEREO~ TO PROVIDE
FOR A CITY PURCHASING SYSnrEM, INCLUDING
COMPETITIVE BID8 AND CONTRACT PROCEDURE;
PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED that Section 78 of the
Cha~ter of the City of Delray Beach, County of Palm Beach,
Florida be amended to read as follows:
SECTION 1. The detail of all city purchasing shall be
performed in accordance with the latest current revision of a
Standard Practice Instruction as issued by the City Manager, and
as ~his reflects the requirements of the City Cha~ter and the
current revision of the City's Code of Ordinances.
SECTION 2. On contemplated purchases of any needed
goods, services or structures, the price of which may be rea-
sonably expected to be less than Three Thousand Dollars (03000),
and for which properly allocable funds a~e determined to exist,
the City Purchasing Agent is authorized either to take sealed
competitive bids or to negotiate informally with prospective
vendors, as his Judgment may direct, to secure the most advan-
tageous purchase for the City, and, with' the express approval
of the City Manager, to execute a purchase order or contract to
that vendor which shall best serve the interests of the City in
price or quality or time of delivery or in so~e. combination of
two, or of all three factors. In the case of a decision to take
sealed competitive bids, the Purchasing Agent may, at the time
of opening, and with the approval of the City .Manager, void all
bids, and may either re-advertise for new bids from any and all
vendo~s, or proceed directly to negotiate with competent vendors.
SECTION 3. On contemplated purchases of any goods,
services, or structures estimated to cost more than Three
Thousand Dollars ($3000), which have been expressly defined and
pri~ed in an approved budget, the Purchasing Agent is authorized
and directed to proceed as in Section 2, except that, if, after
reasonable negotiation it shall appear that the lowest price
taken for the specific goods, services, or structures then con-
templated may exceed by more than ten percent (10%) the prices
presumed in the budget (whether in the case of a fixed price or
the best estimate of a cost-plus purchase), a purchase order or
contract may not be executed without the approval of' the City
Council, and, in such cases, the Council may, by resolution,
direct the Purchasing Agent either to renegotiate or to re-
proceed on the basis of sealed competitive bids, and, by formal
resolution, may require that the successful bidder be determined
by the Council.
SECTION 4. For the purchase of any needed goods, serv-
ices, or structures, not previously contemplated by an approved
budget, the price of which may be expected to exceed Three Thou-
sand Dollars ($3000), but for which properly allocable funds may
be determined to exist, the City Manager may, with the approval
of the Council, direct the Purchasing Agent to proceed on the
basis of sealed competitive bids and to report the results of
the bidding to the City Council for its consideration and dis-
position or approval of the award of the purchase order or con-
tract to-the lowest competent bidder, except that, if, in the
opinion of the Council, the needs of the City would best be
served by price negotiation for a specific purchase, then, by
resolution, the ~ouncil may direct the Purchasing Agent to pro-
ceed as in Section 2. In such event, the Council may require a
full report of all such negotiation, and may exercise its right
to make the purchase award. ....-- '~ 9~
SECTION ~. In the case of sealed competitive bidding for
any purchase of, or to cover any contract for, the acquisition of
goods, services or stl-Uctures, and, regardless of the anticipated
whole cost, the ~ity shall furnish to each bidder a uniforml2 equal
description, specification or plan, together with specifically stat-
ed alternatives thereto, which will cover all aspects of type, kind,
character, quality, or quantity of, and the maximum allowable time
for the delivery of the goods, or the com~letion of the contract for
Which bids are invited. ~urthermore, in the case that such emergency
requirements may render time - as such - to be of the essence of the
contract, such original specifications (available to all bidders)
shall contain a formula which evaluates time in te~ms of dollars per
calendar day {or fraction the~eo£), which ma~ be properly used in
affecting a determination of the lowest competent bidder, and which
shall be the basis for the calculation of any penalties to be as-
sessed against the contractor in a final settlement for his failure
to meet the previously established completion time schedule. Where
possible, specifications shall be those in general use in an appro-
priate trade or industry, and shall be referred to by name and title
as in the case of the standamdtzed specifications issued by the
American Society for Testing Materials). Bidders may be required to
make such deposits as may be deemed requisite to cover the cost of
any plans or specifications~ said deposits being redeemable upon
application of the bidder when such plans and specifications are
turned in acceptable order. Bidders may also be required to post
such penalty bonds as ma2 be deemed necessarU to protect the City
fully in such an eventuality as the inability of the vendo~ or con-
tractor properly to fulfill the terms of the purchase order or con-
tract for any and every reason. Invitations to bid shall define the
nature of the bid in terms of such categories as a one-price bid, a
cost-plus bid, cost-plus fixed fee bid, or a dollar amount as it may
be determined by a stated formula (but only one category shall be de-
fined in the invitation). In the case of a one-p~lce bid, the whole
cost to the City shall be inclusive of all such cost and expense ele-
ments as engineering, legal, or technical consultation fees, Job-
preparation expense, insurance premiums, shipping charges, stand-by
time, and the living or traveling expenses of Job personnel (although
a detailed schedule of all such coats and expenses shall not be re-
quired to be disclosed in the case of such a one-price bid) together
with a schedule of proposed terms of payment and any allowable dis-
counts. A cost-plus, or an2 sliding scale, bid ma2 be invited with
the concerted approval of the City Manager and the Director of Public
Works in the case of a proposed project for which reasonable cost or
expense extlmates do not appear feasible (as in the case of a project
involving possible removal of unknown quantities of concealed rock).
Under such a circumstar~e, the bid shall set forth the total of all
of the details of determinable costs and expenses together with
schedules of such variable cost elements as unit-costs, per diem-
costs, etc., as are required by the bid invitation.
SECTION 6. Competency in bidding is hereby defined as
being able properly to demonstrate trade, or industry, proficiency,
standing, and qualifications, and the financial ability to deliver
the goods or to complete the contract as executed, together with the
submission of a bid which, in every respect, fully meets and complies
with the terms, conditions and specifications, or stated alternatives
thereto, which were made a part of, or which sine inherent in the in-
vitation to bid.
SECTION ?. Failure of any bidder to comply fully with the
provisions of Section 6, or any of them, may result in the discard of
his bid from an2 comparison or consideration in the contemplated pu~-
chase or contract.
SECTION 8. Reference by number shall be made to this
.Ordinance in any solicitation of sealed bids to cover any intended
purchase or contract, and a printed copy hereof shall be made avail-
able to any intended bidder,
PASSED AND ADOPTED on this 16th day of October, 1961.
