SPECIAL ORDERS OF BUSINESS
1. Bids received at the regular meeting of this Council
held February 13, 1961, for the addition and remodeling of Fire
Station No. 1, were considered at this time.
City Manager Sailors presented the following letter
received from the architect, Marion J. Varner:
"February 16, 1961
City of El Segundo
350 Main Street
El Segundo, California
Attn: Mr. John J. Sailors, City Manager
Gentlemen:
The enclosed architectural statement represents our
progress payment based upon the lbtest low bid for
the Fire Station alteration. You will note that we
are charging, as the basis for our total architectural
fee, an amount based upon the revised bid based upon
the addeddum recently prepared. On most projects it
is customary in the profession for the architect to
charge his fee based upon the original low figure,
however, for the best interest of this project and
for the City, we are using the final acceptable
contract price.
I feel the new figure now represents an excellent
price for this work, and it would be my recommenda-
tion to accept the low bid as submitted based upon
the revised plan and the addeddum.
I have been assured by the successful General Con-
tractor that the electrical fixtures to be used by his
electrician would meet with our full approval. This
will include both architectural and City approval. He
understands that the electric fixtures must meet the
standards as now specified.
Very truly yours,
/s/ MARION J. VARNER
MJV /mb Marion J. Varner
