Attorney John Ross Adams; and the Administration have been working on
the Contracts forsaid Law Enforcement Complex, and asked that the sum-
mary, for Council action, be presented by Mr. Rogers.
Mr. Rogers reported as follows: "We have prepared two contracts
based on the standard form of agreement of the American Institute of
Architects, one with the general contracting firm of Hays and Robinson,
the other with the Southern Steel Company of San Antonio, Texas, who
will furnish the jail equipment. These have been reviewed by Mr.
Adams, for Council, and also by Council members. We have had a recent
discussion and they appear to be in good order and we recommend their
approval. In addition, the Contracts will include two Addenda which
change certain elements of the building, not, however, the appearance
of the building or the efficiencyor the structure or the structural
integrity at all, so we feel that all in all it is going to be a very
satisfactory building in all respects. My recommendation is, and Mr.
Simon concurrs, that we recommend that Council approve these contracts."
City Attorney Adams confirmed Mr. Rogers Statements, and informed
Council that in approving the Contract for Hays and Robinson they
should also include approval at the final contract figure of
$409,790.5'3, together with Addenda No. I and No. 2, and with the fur-
ther provision that if the contract calls for the permit fee to be paid
by the owner, the City, that those fees be waived.
Mr. Merritt moved that the Contract with Hays and Robinson be final-
ized in the amount of $409,790.53 together with Addenda~ Noel:and No.2,
with a further provision that if the City is required to pay the permit
fee that it be waived. The motion was seconded by Mr. jurney and car-
ried unanimously.
Mr. Merritt then moved that the Contract with Southern Steel Company
be finalized in the amount of $40,830.00 together with Addenda No. 1,
and with the provision that if the City is required to pay the permit
fee that it be waived. The motion was seconded by Mr. wilson and car-
ried unanimously.

three hundred day time limit, and the Contract with Southern Steel Co.
