Consideration was given to the acceptance and final payment on the East and West Charleston Boulevard Fire Stations. Field Engineer Ken Hansen reported that the Notice of Completion was recorded on May l4, 1957; and recommended that these fire stations be accepted; that final payment of $11,233.25 be made, but the per­formance bonds retained until such time as the paint manufacturer has had the op­portunity to inspect the paint jobs on these projects. The Commission asked the Assistant City Attorney if the retention of the performance bonds would protect the City in the event there is any discrepancy in the paint on these fire stations. Mr. Hawkins indicated that until these bonds are released, the City would be protected. Commissioner Fountain moved that the East and West Charleston Boulevard Fire Sta­tions be accepted, and the Comptroller and Treasurer authorized to issue a war­rant for final payment to the Contractor, Western States Construction Co., in the total amount of $11,233.25. Motion seconded by Commissioner Bunker and carried by the following vote: Com­missioners Bunker, Fountain, Sharp and His Honor voting aye; noes, none. Absent: Commissioner Whipple. The Commission considered the request for payment for inspection by the Architect, John Replogle on the West Charleston Boulevard fire station. Discussion was held on the fact that the original agreement provided only for payment for preparation of plans and inspection fees on the East Charleston Fire Boulevard Fire Station at a cost of 6% of the construction price, but no provision was made for the West Charleston Boulevard Fire Station. It was the recommendation of the Engineering Department that the agreement be modi­fied to provide payment to the architect for the inspection of the West Charleston Boulevard Fire Station in the amount of 3% of the construction cost of this pro­ject, and that payment in the amount of $l,849.58 to Mr. John Replogle be authorized.
