T. Williams, Jr. City Manager City of Austin P. 0. Box 1160 Austin 64, Texas "Dear Mr. Williams: "May 16, 1961 "Brown & Root, Inc. has examined the bids opened by you at 10: A.M. May 11, 1961, in open council meeting for the Holly Street Station Unit No. 2 Deaerating Heater, Item DFWH-23, Contract No.66. Bids were submitted by Cochrane Division-Crane Company, represented by Alliger & Sears Company of Houston, Allis-Chalmers Manufacturing, Worthington Corporation-represented by A. M. Lockett of Houston. All bids were found to be in accordance with the specifications. "On the basis of lowest price and satisfactory delivery of April, 1963, it is recommended that the Cochrane Division-Crane Company be awarded the contract for the Deaerating Heater for supplying the mirror image unit and accessories as furnished Holly Street Unit No. 1 with the exception of the level control float size. The range was changed to 32". The total sum is $26,519.00. "Your attention is invited to the section of the Cochrane proposal which states that if shipment by April, 1962 is acceptable, the total price for the above equipment will be $25,011.00. "Yours very truly, s/ D. N. Higgins D. N. Higgins Chief Power Engineer Brown & Root, Inc. "Approved s/ D. C. Kinney D. C. Kinney Director of Public Utilities City of Austin" The City Manager's recommendation followed that of the Consulting Engineers and Director of Public Utilities, that the bid of ALLIGER & SEARS COMPANY on the mirror image unit and accessories be accepted, and accept shipment early, thus bringing the total price to $25,011. The City Manager also submitted the recommendation of Brown & Root on the purchase of Feedwater Heaters for Unit Number 2, Contract No. 65, as follows: "Mr. W. T. Williams, Jr. City Manager City of Austin P. 0. Box 1160 Austin 64, Texas "May 17, 1961 433 433 CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS "Dear Mr. Williams: "Brown & Root, Inc. has examined the bids opened by you at 10:00 A.M., May 11, 1961, in open council meeting for the Holly Street Station Unit Number 2, Feedwater Heaters, Item CWFH-21, CWFH-22, CWFH-24, and CWFH-25, Contract number 65. Bids were submitted by Alco Products Company, Griscom-Russell Company, Struthers-Wells Company, and Westinghouse Inc. All bids were found to be in accordance with the specifications. "The initial low bid of $74,440 was submitted by Alco, Inc. However, due to additional engineering cost involved by Westinghouse and Brown & Root due to Alco's design of the heater CWFH-21, we recommend on the basis of best bid and satisfactory delivery of April, 1963, that the Griscom-Russell Company be awarded the contract for the above Feedwater Heaters for the sum of $74,655.00. "Your attention is invited to the section of the Griscom-Russell proposal which states that if shipment is acceptable in April, 1962, the total price for the above equipment will be $71,100.00. "At this time we are still investigating the use of steel tubes in these heaters. We will be able to have our recommendation regarding their use within two (2) weeks. Should this tubing material prove acceptable, Griscom-Russell would still be the best bid with an approximate saving in heater cost of $5,000.00 to the City of Austin. As of this date however, our findings show that the use of steel tubes is being tried only by larger utility companies in the East and have not been in service of sufficient time to warrant our recommendation. "Any contract entered into with Griscom-Russell should contain the option of the substituting of steel tubing material within two (2) weeks from date of contract upon approval of Mr. D. C. Kinney with subsequent reduction in cost as per Griscom-Russell proposal, i.e. April, 1963 - $69,678.00 April, 1962 - $66,360.00 Should you require further comments and/or recommendations, please call. "Very truly yours, s/ D. N. Higgins D. N. Higgins Chief Power Engineer Brown & Root, Inc. "Approved s/ D. C. Kinney D. C. Kinney Director of Public Utilities City of Austin" The City Manager stated it was his recommendation also that GRISCOMRUSSELL COMPANY be awarded the bid, and that the city take an early delivery date on this equipment also, saving about $700.00 on that, making the total price at $71,100.

The Council discussed the ordinance prohibiting fishing from or loitering upon bridges or dams crossing the Colorado River. Councilman Shanks suggested that some kind of markers be set out to announce the off limits, as he would hate to see one arrested just because he was in an area he was not aware was offlimits. The City Manager said a statement could be added to the effect that these regulations shall apply, and that it would be an offense to violate them provided they are properly marked. The City Attorney stated the text should be amended whereby the erection of the signs should be under the Direction of the City Manager rather than under the Chief of Police. Councilman Armstrong inquired of the planning as concerned places for people to fish, and suggested that there be lighted docks.
