Today we are just short of this achievement depending upon the selection of the furalture and furnishings. y a. ' We are still of the opinion that our original specifications ari in the best interest of the people of Brazos County. If, however, the Commissioners' Court decides that there ra should be a compromise to Plane I and II then our job is to revise the plans and epscifl• ± cations to keep the total effect of the co-ordinated plan as closely u possible to the original intent. If this is deemed necessary then we propose to bring in,two other t J manufacturers for bids an certain items. }q Be Mechanics t ~y 1. This plan could be executed by asking for now bids with the opportunities to submit J alternates from Blom and Miller and possibly others, and only on stock items. The i • present specifications are to serve as a standard. Deviation of design should be kept to an absolute minimum, since the items were specifically designed for certain areas In, the Courthouse which require specific dimensions and materials in keeping with the coordinated plan. 5 4 n Following further discussion of the natter of bids for f mitu» and furaiabings for the Courthouse, an motion, duly seconded, and unanimously adopted, the Court voted to re-advertise for bids ' OR existing specifications, with Knoll, Rispm, Miller, and one alternate col.umafprovided for say other i' Unufacturerxs products, making a total of four columns in which bids may be listed. The architects wre requested to bring in revised fow of bid notice for advertising at the earliest convenient date. j Whereupon the Court adjourned. j~ fxscial Mesons March 22 m 1956.
