<br />The bid call for this construction included five alternates, namely a timber I;
<br />roof instead of a re-inforced concrete slab roof; concrete walkways around the "
<br />pool site and roofing alternates. After carefully scrutinizing and analyzing the 1
<br />bids, certain items have been removed, leaving net ~ids for the job as follows: i: I" ,

<br />I,
<br />
<br />A recap of the swimming pool levy fund as of December 1, 1947 shows a balance;!
<br />of $46,828.80, which will necessitate the use of additional emergency or trans- i:
<br />ferreq funds this comir;g spring or sll1llil!-er ~f we are to complete the j 00 in time to i;
<br />use the pool next season.' '
<br />I,
<br />:1
<br />While this procedure might be considered somewhat irregular, I am of the i
<br />opinicin tliat the City cianncit hope to dd better for the building unit than the
<br />figure as represented in the low bid received this week. If the pool is to be
<br />completed for use sometime during the summer of 1948, it is imperat~ve that the
<br />final con~ract be gotten underway as soon as practical and I would strongly urge
<br />the Council to accept at this time the low bid of Stien Bros. in the amount of
<br />$50,857.50 and by mQtion go on record as pledging the necessary surplus monies
<br />existing in the City Budget for the completion of the work next summer. To await
<br />action by the Budget Committee for the fiscal year 1948-49, and the transfer of
<br />additional funds would mean that this work would be 'held up until the spring of
<br />1949.
<br />
<br />While the cost of the pool will, of course, exceed earlier estimates, it is i,
<br />interesting to note that the value of the equipment purchased from Camp Parks, ':
<br />California will represent a saving to us of approximately $30,000. This figure ;
<br />is,oased on an analys.is of contract awards of recent da, te in other cities in the :' I'
<br />Pacific Northwest, the most recent being that of the construction of a pool in ,;
<br />the City of Renton, Washington which was awarded on a low bid of $145,000.00. "
<br />This pool was of a similar design to the Eugene pool, but the tank was smaller :;
<br />than the one which we have constructed. . )
<br />.' i'
<br />While the low bidder, Mr. Roy Stien, has indicated a completion time of six ,I
<br />months, he)has assured me that if awarded the contract by the Common Council that
<br />the work will be pushed as rapidly as possible with the hopes that the pool will
<br />be ~eady for use by Eugene's youngsters sometime in the month of June.
<br />
<br />This report and recommendation is submitted for your consideration." :

<br />It was moved by Bailey, seconded by Johnson that the report of the City Manager be~
<br />received and pl~ced on file. . '.

<br />'/,
<br />A report of the City Manager re: Naval Armory was submitted ,and read as :,
<br />follows: ;
<br />, '
<br />it
<br />5 "I have at hand a proposed form of lease with the U. S. Navy for the rental I:
<br />. of City-owned property near 13th and Chambers Street for the erection and main- ,I
<br />tenance of a Naval Armory. While the Council has previously given me authorizati04
<br />to execute this lease, there if? a'matter that has come to my attention which I fee~'
<br />I should pass on to the Council at this time before taking further action. l
<br />!;
<br />At the time that this property in question was sold to the Medical Center I'
<br />Assn., we ~ere approached by repre~entatives of the Seventh Day Adventist Church, .
<br />asking that that organization be allowed to purchase grounds immediately"adjacent '
<br />to the Seventh Day Adventist School and bordering on the tract in ~uestion. ~
<br />
<br />. This understandfng was confirmed by the Council at the time the property was
<br />originally sold to the Medical Center 'Group but' final action on the transaction I:
<br />was withheld pendin~ the plans for development of the property by the Medical ~
<br />Group which, as the Council is aware, failed to materialize. At that time my I:
<br />office was contacted by representatives of the Seventh Day Adventist School as to I
<br />the status of the piece of ground in which they were interested in view of the
<br />development on the balance of the tract. I assured them at that time that the (
<br />Council had given no indication that they would withdraw their offer to sell this ;:
<br />piece of ground. At a later date, the representatives of the U. S. Navy.c6n- "I"~ ~:
<br />tacted the City Counc il and an agreement was reached for the leasing of a tract I~
<br />approxima tely 400 t X 400' facing 13th Street. i
