President Osborn stated the City Attorney has prepared an ordinance to take care of this request which will be introduced later and thereupon referred the matter to "Introduction of Ordinances. 4. //From Wm. Clement Ambrose and Eldridge T. Spencer, Architects, with regard to plans for the development of certain housing on the twenty -acre site now under negotiation between Congress Construction Corp. and the Navy Department. The communi- cation stressed the fact that this office is not identified with the reported present proposal and the representations made to the Council previously for the development of a housing project and yacht harbor do not apply to this later proposed project. President Osborn stated, in connection with this communication, that this is just one of the things which concerns the members of the City Council greatly. It is one of the reasons why the Council has endeavored to stop the sale of this land to the Federal Government because it is not certain under what conditions the land might be developed after it passes out of private ownership. This letter is an indication that the.original plans, as we all -knew them - and he said he noted several people in the audience who he knew were familiar with the originally projected plans - through . models which were submitted for our approval - those plans are no longer being con- templated if this land is sold to the Federal Government for -its development. He thereupon ordered the communication filed. 5. V From Encinal Terminals, relinquishing its option to lease certain property situated on the west side of Grand Street, north of the City's Corporation Yard, effective as of February 15, 1953. The letter was ordered filed, 6, ✓ From the Bay City Fuel Oil Company, requesting permission to lease certain property situated on the west side of Grant Street, north of the City's Corporation Yard, formerly leased by Union Oil Company to be used as a distributing plant for petroleum products, with the possible addition of a tallow storage plant. President Osborn stated that, with the, consent of the members of the Council, he will ask that the City Manager investigate the proposed use of this land by the pros- pective lessee to be sure that in its operations there will be no objectionable features which might be developed and cause opposition of the people who live in the vicinity. 7. /From Congressman John J. Allen, Jr., concerning the City's opposition to the purchase by the Navy of certain property located in the west end of the City. He stated in his letter he had written to Rear Admiral J. F. Jelley, requesting further information about the proposed sale and would be glad to lend whatever appropriate assistance he could. President Osborn stated the Council is gratified to receive this communication from Congressman Allen because, while he does not represent the City's particular Congressional District, it is gratifying to know that he realizes the seriousness of the situation and is ready to lend his help. 8. /From Congressman George P. Miller, with regard to the City's opposition to the, purchase by the Navy of certain property located in the west end of Alameda, stating the Navy Department has informed him that all negotiations on this project will be conducted with Headquarters, Twelfth Naval District, and suggesting the District can give the City the specific information it desires. President Osborn called attention to the fact that Congressman Miller does not indicate any intention of helping the_City stop the sale of this land. 9. V From Mr. James S. Helm, 2720 Otis Drive, protesting against the low - flying planes, especially along the south shore. The President asked the pleasure of the Council. Councilman Sweeney. stated that sometime ago he, personally, had brought this matter up and pointed out there have been several occasions where instances like this have happened. The City Manager stated he had been directed to forward all such correspondence with an appropriate letter of transmittal, to the Civil Aeronautics Administration, the Port of Oakland and the Oakland Airport. Councilman Sweeney stated the City Manager has done his part, but this matter could go on and he wanted to know what is the next step. Councilman Anderson moved the letter be sent to the Civil Aeronautics Administration in Washington, D. C., with copies to the Oakland Airport and the Port of Oakland. The motion was seconded by Councilman Sweeney and unanimously carried. HEARINGS: 10. /The matter was called up with regard to Resolution No. 4710 which was adopted at the meeting held January 20, 1953 - "Resolution of Intention to Order the Vaca- tion of a Portion of Clay Street, in the City of Alameda ". City Attorney Clark stated this is the time and place fixed for a Hearing on said resolution of intention and has to do with the vacation of a portion of Clay Street, east of Post Street. Mr. Clark stated that, as required by the Street Vacation Act of 1914, notices have been posted concerning the holding of this Hearing and publication of the Resolution of Intention has been made. He offered the Affidavits of Publication and Posting of Notices as evidence. The City Attorney asked the City Clerk if she had any protests against the proposed closing and she stated none had been received. He then called the City Engineer, who was sworn, and the City Attorney asked if he was familiar with Clay Street, lying east of Post Street, and the conditions prevailing there - he also presented a drawing and inquired if it truly depicted the area it purported to be and also asked what is the condition at the, easterly end of Clay Street. City Engineer Hanna answered the questions in the affirmative and stated certain land at this point has been purchased by the State Division of Highways and will, in the near future, be closed off. .The City Attorney asked if this would then be a dead-end street and the City.,Engineer agreed. City-Attorney Clark asked if there were any questions from members of the Council. Councilman Anderson asked if there will be an easement or certain amount of access way in and out of this area forever. City Attorney Clark stated there would be due to the provisions of the Zoning Ordinance which requires that every lot must have at least 20 feet of street front- age and without this 20-foot access way, it would be impossible for anybody to improve the properties lying at the easterly end of Clay Street. Councilman Jones asked what consideration the City gets. Mr. Clark answered that the City gets no consideration - the Street Vacation Act provides that the property goes to the prospective owners. President Osborn stated this will make it possible for the property to be improved and create additional lots which will be on the tax rolls of the City. City Attorney Clark agreed this is true, pointing out that at present only 2 lots can be improved and when the street is closed there will be two more lots available for improvement. Councilman Anderson asked whose responsibility it will be to maintain this 20-foot access way - if the street closing is granted, will the City be put to any expense with regard to electroliers, etcetera. Mr. Clark replied "No". Councilman Jones thereupon introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: "Resolution No 4731 Ordering the Vacation of a Portion of Clay Street in the City of Alameda." The motion to adopt said resolution was seconded by Councilman Anderson and on roll call carried by the following vote. Ayes: Councilman Anderson, Branscheid, Jones, Sweeney and President Osborn, (5). Noes: None, Absent: None. Thereupon the President declared said resolution duly adopted and passed. ORAL COMMUNICATIONS: 11.1 Mr. Rusk Rigor stated he would like to take this opportunity, on behalf of the Boy Scouts, to thank the Councilmen and the Mayor for having permitted the boys to meet with them this evening. He said the members of the Council are to be congratu- lated for the fine spirit shown in allowing the boys to participate - and this holds true for the offices filled during the day. He expressed the hope that this can be an annual occasion. If it is agreeable, he would like to have a letter from the Council that this be set up as an annual affair. President Osborn thanked Mr. Rigor and stated he felt the Council does approve of the idea and said he would be happy to write such a letter. REPORTS OF COMMITTEES: 12,/From the Civil Service Board, notifying that Mr. Forrest V. Routt, Jr. has been appointed to the position of Executive Secretary of the Civil Service Board, effective February 24, 1953. Councilman Branscheid moved the communication be filed. The motion was seconded by Councilman Sweeney and unanimously carried. 13.- From the Civil Service Board, stating the members extremely regret their inability to meet with the City Council on February 17. The letter was ordered filed. 14. From the City Manager, recommending contract be awarded to W. R. Ames Company, the only bidder, for furnishing certain portable quick coupling aluminum pipe and auxiliary fittings at the total bid price of $4,027.97, Councilman Anderson moved the City Manager's recommendation be approved; that contract be awarded to this firm for the price quoted. The motion was seconded by Councilman Jones and on roll call carried by the following vote. Ayes: Councilmen Anderson, Branscheid, Jones Sweeney and President Osborn, (5). Noes: None. Absent: None. 15: From the City Manager, recommending contract be awarded to Taper Tube Pole Company, the low bidder, for furnishing ninety-one Single Pendant Type Lighting Standards at the total bid price of .11,279.47. Councilman Branscheid moved the City Manager's recommendation be adopted: that contract be awarded to the designated company for furnishing these Standards at the price quoted, and the checks be returned to the unsuccessful bidders. The motion was seconded by Councilman Jones and on roll call carried by the following vote. Ayes: Councilmen Anderson, Branscheid, Jones, Sweeney and President Osborn, (5). Noes: None, Absent: None, 16. From the City Manager, recommending that all bids be rejected on the call for furnishing an 8" Jointer, Specifications No, MS 1-53-1 - and the 20" Band Saw, Specifications No, MS 1-53-2 - and that both items be combined in one set of specifi- cations and advertised accordingly. 837 Councilman Jones stated he is not in agreement with the City Manager's recommendation because several firms have bid in good faith on these proposals and he said he had always understood that the City could accept the lowest and best bid. He said the City Attorney had informed him that the best bid in this case could not be accepted because it was made in an irregular manner. He asked that the City Attorney explain the matter. Mr. Clark stated it will be noted from the letter written by the City Manager, there are two specifications numbers used - each of these items is set up under its respective specifications and the bidders were requested to make separate bids on the two items. The supplemental bid submitted by the C. W. Marwedel Company, who also submitted regular bids on each of the items, combines the two specifications in one bid which is what makes it an irregular bid. Because of this, if it were known to all other bidders that they could combine the two items in one bid and possibly give the City a lower price, it is conceivable that they would have done that. He explained how the supplemental bid was made - the Marwedel salesman was in and said he did not contemplate, making a bid on each of the proposals at all, but would combine them because'by combining the freight costs he could give the City a better price. Mr. Clark had told him if he wanted to have a bid in at all, he had better have a bid on each proposal and then, if he felt he wanted to make a supplemental bid, he could do so with the distinct understanding that it would be determined after the bids were opened whether or not it would be accepted, Councilman Jones stated it appears to him that the primary purpose in submitting sealed bids at all is so the prices will not be known beforehand. Now in this instance, of course, Marwedel's lowest price is definitely known because it is public knowledge and, therefore, all firms seeing this can know just exactly what Marwedel's bid is going to be and this defeats the purpose of competitive bidding. He said it is regretable that the two items were not combined at the outset and he does not want to see bids rejected which were submitted in good faith and he thought the Council should accept each bid separately, Councilman Sweeney stated there are two separate items and two separate specifications - had they all known ahead of time that they could be combined and one bid submitted, it would be different - but one firm took it upon itself to combine them and was thus able to submit a lower bid. Councilman Jones stated he felt the Council should follow out the terms as originally set forth and the contract should be awarded without resorting to further advertising. Councilman Branscheid asked who was the low bidder with regard to Specifications No. .MS 1 -53 -1, calling for bids en the furnishing of a Jointer. The City Manager answered there were identical bids at the price of X515.93, with no allowance for the old equipment. Councilman Anderson stated that as long as the City had asked for bids on two articles, anybody who bid over and above what we asked for was acting on his own. He felt that Marwedel had simply furnished some extra information which was not asked for. The City Manager's letter had also explained that identical bids had been submitted from Delta Equipment Agency and C. W. Marwedel Company on furnishing the Band Saw, Specifications No. MS 1 -53 -2 - but Delta had offered an allowance of •100. and Marwedel an allowance of $75. on the old equipment - making Delta's bid $464.29 in contrast to Marwedel's bid of $489.29. Councilman Anderson stated the firm who bid to save the City $25. should certainly get the contract for that item. The City Manager's letter also pointed out that the total bid of Delta for the two items was $980.22 - the irregular bid of Marwedel Company, combining both items and therefore making an allowance of $150, for the old machinery, resulted in a net bid of $930.21 - $,50.01 lower than the regular bids of Delta Equipment Agency. President Osborn stated he could not in good conscience approve the spending of $50. of the City's money when it could be saved. Councilman Branscheid stated the City called for bids in good faith - maybe overlooked a bet - if so, it is too bad. The question is whether or not it is inopportune or in bad form to repudiate the confidence the bidders have come forth with. He reiterated that the call for bids was absolutely put out in good faith and the bids were made in good faith and perhaps under the circumstances they were not in proper form or to the best advantage but he thought they should be acted upon. He thereupon moved that the contract for the Band Saw be given to Delta Equipment Agency at its bid price of $464.29, and the checks be returned to the unsuccessful bidders. The motion was seconded by Councilman Sweeney. Councilman Anderson suggested the motion be amended to the effect that contract also be awarded to Delta for furnishing the Jointer. Councilman_ Branscheid stated he would not accept the amendment. 3'39 City Attorney Clark stated the proposals should be acted upon separately. The question was then put and the motion was carried by the following vote. Ayes: Councilmen Anderson., Branscheid, Jones and Sweeney, (4). Noes: President Osborn, (1). Absent: None. Councilman Anderson then moved that the Delta Equipment Agency be awarded the contract for furnishing the Jointer at the bid, price of y515.93 and the checks be returned to the unsuccessful bidders. The motion was seconded by Councilman Jones. Speaking on the question, Councilman Branscheid said he felt that, in all fairne under the circumstances, the contract for this item should be given to Marwedel - the business should be distributed. President Osborn stated the Council is completely overlooking the fact that the Marwedel Company is the firm which pointed out to the City how it could save $50. The question was called for and the motion was lost on the following vote. Ayes: Councilmen Anderson and Jones, (2). Noes: Councilmen Branscheid, Sweeney and President Osborn, (3). Absent: None. Councilman Branscheid then moved that the contract for furnishing the Jointer be awarded to C. W. Marwedel Company at its bid price of $515.93 and the checks be returned to the unsuccessful bidders. The motion was seconded by Councilman Sweeney and carried on the following vote. Ayes: Councilmen Anderson, Branscheid, Jones, and Sweeney, (4). Noes: President Osborn, (1). Absent: None. 17' the City Manager, reporting that all work has been satisfactorily completed in connection with the construction of Unit III, Bond Issue Sewers and recommending it be accepted and the Notice of Completion be ordered filed, Councilman Jones moved the City Manager's recommendation be approved and the Notice of Completion covering this project be filed. The motion was seconded by Councilman Sweeney and unanimously carried. 18. From the City Manager, reporting that all work has been satisfactorily completed with regard to the installation of the 24" Storm Water Pump at the Arbor Street Pump- ing Plant and recommending it be accepted and the Notice of Completion be ordered filed.
