AK A.C - (giv -F Mr. R, C. Kirkpatrick Asst. on Labor Relations, PHA North Interior Building Washington, D. C, Dear Sir: I am protesting against conditions existing on the con- struction of the Memorial Hosrital, a PWA Project at Charlotte, - North Carolina, The McDevitt Company are the General Contractors. Leon Con-er is employed az a fireman furnishing temporary heat for the hospital which is under construction. Conner is on MeDevitt's payroll and receives fourteen dollars ($14) per week. _ He works nine (9) hours per day, seven (7) days per week, and on. Sundays he is required to act as watchman in addition to firing the boiler, It may also be advisable to look into the construction of the boiler room and the steam tunnel leading from the power plant to the hospital and nurses home. The concrete in the tunnel is very porous and the proper provisions for drainage has not been made. Recently, during heavy rains, water came in through the tunnel until-it reached a depth of sixteen inches in the bofler room, On Friday January 19, four days after a rain, water was standing between the boilers to a derth of one inch. There is no Grain in the boiler room. The drain, which is outside the boiler room, is approximately ‘wo inches higher than the opposite side of the botler room, Steam cylinder oi} hes not been furnished the fireman, and for two days prior to January 19 the pump received no oil. One suart of of} that was furnished to the fireman was Esso motor oil, 348880 JAN30%0 —_-- MTNA Time.

Clark, North Carolina Acting Commissioner of Public Works, Federal Works Agency, Public Works Administration, Washington, DB. v. Dear Sir: Your letter to Mr. 7. M. McCorkle, Municipal Accountant, Ghatick te, BR. C., dated January 25rd, has been brought to the attention of ths writer and I am writing you requesting a reconsideration of this — matter. The pending grant requisition about which this letter was written represents only a total of 35% of the entire grant ani if it were paid the Federal Works Agency would still have $100,000.00 of the total grant from which any adjustment could be made, if it became necessary. The matter of th project apst involves a question as te whether ea $50,000.00 land purchase is eligible for grant, and even if the final ruling was thet it was not eligible, only 45% of this 950,000.00 would be the amount effected. Therefore, we d& not see why the present grant requisition is being held up. -. _Ewish to impress upon you the City's urgent need of this present requisition; the project is practically completed, a number of the contractors estimates will come due oh Februgry ist and we will not have enough money to pay them unless we obtain this $100,000.00, I em fearful thet if we camnot pay the Contrectors thet work on the project will be suspended. I sincerely hope that you can adjust this mtter for the present and check for this grent requisition can be forwarded us. In any event, I will appreciate an early reply from you as to your decision in the mtter. Very truly yours, J. 3.

Persion, General Secretary of the International Hod Carriers' Building and Connon Laberers' Union of America. Yor your information, e supplesental investigation bas been requested on Docket H.C. 1412-F, due to the fact that we have been advised there are some eight or nine Plasterer Senders being used, of which oniy two are receiving the minim rate estabd- dished in the contract. The 36% Grant Requisition on the above docket was received im Begionel Office yesterday. November 2, 19239. It is anticipated that considerable objection will ce met in securing adjustment of these underpayments. For this reason it would not seem advisable for any nomcompliances to be charged which cannot be definitely substantiated and/or enforced and on which we are not agreed that every effort will be made toward adjustment and with a reasonable chance of guccess. o.

This report st einuadaabe dea @s a conclusion five recommendations ere made. The entire report hes been . carefully reviewed by the writer and our coments are herewith i. Sees wis D.

We agree with D. I. recommendation. t The facts, as thie effiece knew them before this D. I. report was received, are briefly as follows: = Specifications were filed here for review by the Owner's representative, Mr. J. B, Marshall, city Menager, and in- dicated that they were prepared by Walter Ff, Hook, Architect, with the collaboration of Dr. Willian H. Walsh, Medical donsultent, both of whom have professional contracts with the Owner, which contracts were previously approved by this office. 178406 JUN-539 The Assistant Administrator = 2» June 2, 19596. The specifications were reviewed in this office personally by Engineer J. T. Brown, who discussed the specifica-~ tions with the Chief of Squed at the time, and acted on the matter as stated in his deposition (Exhibit 21). It was realised that, in describing this highiy specialized equipment, it would be en eniless and futile tesk to get the specifications in such shape that they would satisfy all of the prospective bidders, and et the same time define and confine equipment of and to sich standards | as the Owner desixed and considered appropriate for this high-class hospital. Therefore, it was decided thet with the qualifying provisions (which are quoted herein and several times in the report) that there should be no reason why prospective bidders could “not submit competitive bids which, possibly not covering each and every detail of General Electric standard at the same time o be an "Equal" which could be approved as ~~ conforming to “a of manufacture, materials and finish", oa “equslly suitable for the service and duties required”. _ The Instruct ions to Bidders containes ; the hia eee paragraphs: — "IB-30 THE NAME of a certain seit sais, manufacturer or definite specifications is to denote the quality stenderd of the article desired, but does not restrict bidders to the spesific brand, make, manu- facture or specifications named; it is to set forth and convey to prospective bidders the general style, type, character and quality of the erticle ‘Geaired”. "I-34 “OR EQUAL” CLAUSE - wherever the words “or equel* appear in the specifications they should be in- terpreted to mean an item of matérial or equip- ment similiar to that named and which is suited to the same use and ee eee ee ee nmemed.. es es zn 7 All testimony in the sunieek report indicates thet = four manufacturers were generally regaréea as*reputable and being s in position to furnish the desired type of equipment. Several of + them, other than the General Electric X-Ray Corporation, demurred a to the specifications’and the report indicates considerable activity é on.their part in an effort to get the descriptions changed, It will be noted that the Omer, through its representative, the City Manager, consistently declined to make changes; presumably because be did not consider them restrictive and saw nothing to be gained ~ 478406 JUN-5'39 The Assistant Adainistrator a Tone 8, 1939. in *sweppimg horses of one color for ones of another color” when he believed both equal. Some of these same bidders also contacted this office and were told that we saw no reason to prevent then bidding om their om equipment under the contro sicnas above quoted. No formal protests apparently were made, _ protests referred to were al] made before bid opening and were considered settled satisfactorily when when all the protestants actually rendered bide in the eg cis manner, and voiced no protest at the bid openiag. The award was made to the Generel Electric X-Ray Corporation, not because its articles were set up ez a standard, but because its bid was the lowest snd met the specifications. A glance at the bid tabulation shows thet the unit prices for ell items by ail four bidders are consistently within « amall renge of variation and that the awardes's bid on each iten is ‘very close to the a average of the other three, It en eek te arate ot \l were bidding on “equail* ; = cusaidunieg Vek oaly four bids could be reasonably expected and thet four comparable bids were received, this should be ample evidence that free and open competition was solicited and _ received. There does not seem to be any just gromds tor dis- epproving the Owner’s ection, and to fo revision of the specifications, receiving Of new bids, etc., would simply cause an unnecessary delay with @ prospect of securing no better equip- ment end no lower prices, ° - Your office (Projects ana Statistics) has been insisting that these contracts be ewarded promptly, ss per schedule. Although much time was needed to prepare and review the specifi- cations, we have expedited the matter as far as possible, but have proceeded with caution. However, further delay in epproving awards would handicap progress on genera] construction. “178406 JUN-5'39 The Assistant Administrator ~&- Fane 2, 1959.
