ALBRIGHT, STRUCTURAL ENGINEER After discussion, Resolution No. 201 was approved by motion of Mr. Clinton, seconded by Mr. Taylor, and carried unanimously. RESOLUTION NO. 202 RESOLUTION REJECTING ALL BIDS SUBMITTED IN CONNECTION WITH PAINTING AND REDECORATING WORK ON SITES A AND B AND AUTHORIZING PROCEDURE OF WORK FORCE LABOR METHOD TO ACCOMPLISH SAID PAINTING AND REDECORATING Mr. Wilson explained that bids were opened September 22, 1975, for painting and redecorating of the apartments on Sites A and B. These bids ranged from $49,000 to $88,000. The Target Projects Program budget allows approximately $38,000 for this project. The Work Force Labor Method authorized by this resolution is a method widely used by other Housing Authority agencies. The Housing Authority acts as a general contractor. The agency would employ whatever type workmen are needed and rent equipment, if necessary, to perform the work. Mr. Wilson stated that the Housing Authority can perform the necessary work and stay within the budget using this method. Resolution No. 202 was approved by motion of Mr. Taylor, seconded by Mr. Clinton, and carried unanimously. Mr. Gould introduced Frank Ruder and Al Heminghaus from Urban Programming Corporation. Two plans were displayed to the Board. Mr. Ruder stated that the Board could now designate the specific concept of the Square plan they desired. Mr. Ruder pointed out that both of these plans are based upon the basic guidelines established by the Board in June of 1975. These plans show Bd.ock:and East streets on the Square being open to traffic. These plans also call for traffic signals, which they feel are necessary for safety and efficient flow of traffic. The plans do not call for crosswalks in mid -block, because the streets are short and there is actually no need for heavy pedestrian traffic to the center of the Square. Both plans achieve the concept of an active area on the south side of the Square and a passive area on the North. Mr. Heminghaus pointed out various minor features of both plans, with an explanation of the planter arrangements and type of paving, etc. Mr. Hal Douglas requested a delay in making the final decision on the Square plan. Mr. Al Eason, Mr. Obert Undem, Mr. Paul Lewis, and Mr. George Shelton each stated they agreed with the request for delay. They asked that the delay be granted in order that the Square plans could be discussed with representatives of J. C. Penney's who will be in Fayetteville in October. They stated that Penney's will be making a decision about whether to stay on the Square or find another location, and that Penney's is important to the Square as a retail center. -3 The Board concurred with the request for delay. Mr. Ruder stated that UPC could present the preliminary plans within 60 days from the date of the Board's decision on Which concept of the plan they choose. It was pointed out, therefore, that it will take from 60 to 90 days to complete the plans and let bids after UPC is given the notice to proceed with the plan. There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned.
