RESOLUTION NO. 58
WHEREAS, architectural
were provided by E. E. Jacks
to a contract dated December
21, 1968; and
services for Project Ark 97-1
and Warren Segraves pursuant
16, 1966, as amended February
WHEREAS, at the request of the Housing Authority,
said architects performed extra services in the administra-
tion of surveying contract and duplication of services in
site selection as a result of necessary and unavailable
changes in sites for the low -rent housing project. Said
services were essential and extensive and the charges for
same ($875.75) were reasonable as is more fully indicated
in the "Reply" portion of the audit findings and L.A. Reply
annexed hereto as Exhibit "A"; and
WHEREAS, because of the urgency at the time in finding
new sites and the need for immediate action, the Housing
Authority in its haste inadvertently failed to require
compliance with Section 4.2 of the Architects Contract
providing for submission of estimates for the cost of
the additional work and written concurrence in same by
HUD and the Authority prior to performance of the extra
work; and
WHEREAS, the oversight on the part of the authority
and the architects in this regard and the subsequent pay-
ment for said services by the Authority were made in good
faith and without any intention of departing from the
terms of the contract; and
WHEREAS, the Authority deeply regrets this occurrence,
but feels that in equity and good conscience the architects
should be allowed to retain this compensation for valuable
services performed.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE COMMISSIONERS OF
THE HOUSING AUTHORITY OF THE CITY OF FAYETTEVILLE, ARKANSAS:
Section 1. That HUD is respectfully requested to
waive the failure of compliance with Section 4.2 of the
Architects Contract in this particular instance, and
approve the payment to the architects as aforesaid for
their necessary extra services.
2 -
Section 2. That HUD be assured that no such failure
or oversight on the part of the Authority will occur
again in the future.
