.19540 to award the contracts as provided'by law, and it being brought to the
attention of the City Commission' by its architects, Haynes & Kirby, at said
meeting that the apparently low bidder on the heating, air-conditioning and
plumbing contract, R. M. Wells Company, had included with his proposal
the proposal bond which was executed on April 2,_ 1954, submitted with the
original proposal ion the first call for bids instead of executing a new proposal
bond to be included with the current proposal bid, and,
WHEREAS, the said R. M. Wells Company, having prior to this
meeting been informed by Haynes & Kirby, Architects, -that such proposal
bond was legally questionable, the said R. M. Wells Company did on May 3,
1954, have prepared a new proposal bond which is good, sufficient, valid
and enforceable in all regards, and did on this, the 5th day of M.-.y, 1954,
prior to the convening of this meeting, file with Haynes & Kirby, Architects,
uch new proposal bond; and,
WHEREAS, it was shown Eby the tabulation which had been made that
R. M. Wells Company, P. Q. Box 388, Qu:anah, .Texas, had submitted a bid

McKinley Company of 2220-19th Street, Lubbock, Texas, had submitted the
next lowest bid in the sum of $245, 393, they being the two lowest bidders on

W H E R EA.S , the purpose for a proposal bond being to guarantee enter-
ing, into contract and executing the necessary performance ;'bond, the City
Commission finds that the :irregularity, has been corrected ,and the purpose of
the requirement has been fully and in all things secured by the filing of the
new proposal bond, and further finds that such irregularity has nowise given
any bidder an advantage or benefit not allowed to the other bidders and was
not an element considered in fixing the bid price, and further finds that such
irregularity has nowise destroyed the competitive character of the bids as
submitted, and ;further finds that it would be in the public interest and advan-
tageous to the tax-paying citizens to award the contract to the lowest ':bidder;
THEREFORE,
BE IT RESOLVER BY THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF LUBBOCK:
SECTION 1. That the irregularity of the formality of filing of the bid
