George Hogland, Hogland Office Equipment, expressed
concern that the selection process was conducted as
a quote rather than a bid, with vendors not knowing
other vendors' bids. Victor Kilman, City of Lubbock
Purchasing Manager, explained that the process
conducted was a request for proposal rather than a
request for bid or quotation, allowed by V.T.C.A.
Government Code, Section 262.030 (b). John Ross,
Jr., City Attorney confirmed that the process
conducted by City staff was a request for proposal,
not a request for bid. Mr. Ross also explained that
the code allows cities to enter into lease
agreements rather than buying equipment. However,
the agreement remains subject to the Council budget
process; if Council doesn't fund the contract, the
contract expires.
Clyde Waddell, Hester's Office Center, commended the
City staff for their outstanding job in deciding on
the best proposal. Likewise, Bill McKay of Eastman

Specifications hereto attached, then the Surety on the bond shall be notified in writing and directed to complete
the work and a copy of said notice shall be delivered to the Contractor.
After receiving said notice of abandonment, the Contractor shall not remove from the work any machinery, equipment,
tools, materials or supplies then on the job, but the same, together with any materials and equipment under the
contract for work, may be held for use on the work by the Owner or the Surety of the Contractor, or another

of the work under substantially the same terms and conditions which are provided in this contract. In case
of any increase in cost to the Owner under the new contract as compared to what would have been the cost
under this contract, such increase shall be charged to the Contractor and the Surety shall be and remain
bound therefore. However, should the cost to complete any such new contract prove to be less than that
which would have been the cost to complete the work under this contract, the Contractor or his Surety shall
be credited therewith.
When the work shall have been substantially completed, the Contractor and his Surety shall be so notified and
certificates of completion and acceptance, as provided in paragraph 62 hereinabove set forth, shall be issued. A
complete itemized statement of the contract accounts, certified to by Owners Representative as being correct shall
then be prepared and delivered to Contractor and his Surety, whereon the Contractor or his Surety, or the Owner as
the case may be, shall pay the balance due as reflected by said statement within 30 days after the date of
r+ certificate of completion.
In the event the statement of accounts shows that the cost to complete the work is less than that which would have
been the cost to the Owner had the work been completed by the Contractor under the terns of this contract, or when
the Contractor and/or his Surety shall pay the balance shown to be due by them to the Owner, then all machinery,
equipment, tools, materials or supplies left on the site of the work shall be turned over to the Contractor and/or
his Surety. Should the cost to complete the work exceed the contract price, and the Contractor and/or his Surety
r" fail to pay the amount due the Owner within the time designated hereinabove, and there remains any machinery,
equipment, tools, materials or supplies on the site of the work, notice thereof, together with an itemized list of
such equipment and materials shall be mailed to the Contractor and his Surety at the respective addresses designated
in this contract; provided, however, that actual written notice given in any manner will satisfy this condition.
After mailing, or other giving of such notice, such property shall be held at the risk of the Contractor and his
Surety subject only to the duty of the Owner to exercise ordinary care to protect such property. After fifteen (15)
days from the date of said notice the Owner may sell such machinery, equipment, tools, materials or supplies and
f" apply the net sum derived from such sale to the credit of the Contractor and his Surety. Such sale may be made at
i
l_ either public or private sale, with or without notice, as the Owner may elect. The Owner shall release any
machinery, equipment, tools, materials, or supplies which remain on the •Jobsite and belong to persons other than
}* the Contractor or his Surety, to their proper owners.
51. ABANDONMENT BY OWNER

said terms within ten (10) days after written notification by the Contractor, then the Contractor may suspend or
wholly abandon the work, and may remove therefrom all machinery, tools, and equipment, and all materials on the
ground that have not been included in payments to the Contractor and have not been incorporated into the work.
m Thereupon, the Owner's Representative shall make an estimate of the total amount earned by the Contractor, which
estimate shall include the value of all work actually completed by said Contractor at the prices stated in the the
attached proposal, the value of all partially completed work at a fair and equitable price, and the amount of all
Extra Work performed at the prices agreed upon, or provided for by the terms of this contract, and a reasonable sum
to cover the cost of any provisions made by the Contractor to carry the whole work to completion, and which cannot
be utilized. The Owner's Representative shall then make a final statement of the balance due the Contractor by
deducting from the above estimate all previous payments by the Owner and all other sums that may be retained by the
r Owner under the terms of this Agreement, and shall certify same to the Owner who shall pay to the Contractor on or
before thirty (30) days after the date of the notification by the Contractor the balance shown by said final
0— statement as due the Contractor, under the terms of this Agreement.

AINTING
Preparation
In preparing surfaces for repainting, all loose or loosely adherent
paint shall be removed. The edges of remaining old paint shall be
feathered so that the repainted surface will have a smooth appearance.
r..
r No paint shall be applied to a surface which exhibits a loose, scaly or
flaking condition. The most effective and practical methods shall be
used to remove all loose mil scale, loose rust, dirt, oil and any other
f foreign substance that would degrade or prevent paint from firmly
I adhering to the surface.
Any steel splinters discovered or created during the preparation shall
be removed flush with the parent metal by chiseling or other effective
means prior to application of paint.
Any effective methods for surface preparation (sandblast, hand or
rotating brushes, scrapers, chisels, hammers or other approved means)
will be acceptable. Contaminates such as grease, oil, dirt and moisture
must be removed with solvents prior to painting.
Cleaning
All evidence of rust, mil scale, flaking paint and chalky coating of
paint shall be examined and cleaned to the requirements as listed:
Surface must be free of all rust scale, oil, grease, dirt, dead or
chalky coatings, loose mil scale, loose rust and loosely adhering
coatings. Only tightly adhering mil scale, tightly adhering rust (not
rust scale) and tightly adhering coatings will be permitted to remain.
Rust scale is defined as rust extending a minimum of 1/32" above the
underlying metal.
Rust, mil scale and coatings will be considered tightly adhering when
vigorous brushing with a new steel wire brush results in polishing
qrq' rather than removal of rust.
i.
Immediately prior to application of paint, the surface shall be brushed
with a clean bristle brush, blown off with clean compressed air or
cleaned by vacuum to remove traces of 'dirt, sand or any detrimental
materials from the surface.
Priming
After surface is prepared, one (1) coat of oil -based primer shall be
applied to all surface areas exhibiting either absence of paint or
residue of rust. All cleaned surfaces shall be primed the same day they
�•- are cleaned so as not to leave any unpainted metal exposed overnight.
r-
Finish Coat
After spot priming has adequately dried, oil -based paint shall be
applied in an amount and manner that will dry to produce a continuous
film of uniform thickness, uniform in appearance, free of sags, runs,
holidays and excessive brush marks.
Dry film thickness of paint shall not be less than 1.5 mils nor greater
than 2.5 mils. The color of the paint will be orange and white. Both
towers will be painted throughout their height with alternate bands.
Paint, scheme shall result in bands of orange at both the top and bottom
of tower. Width of the paint bands shall be equal to one -seventh (1/7)
the height of the tower. The two colors of paint shall conform to
Federal Standard No. 595 as follows:
Orange No. 12197 (Aviation Surface Orange)
Federal Specification TT-P-59
Outside White No. 17875 (Aviation White)
Federal Specification TT-P-102
Application
Paints shall be mixed thoroughly and strained before being applied.
Paint containers shall be kept tightly covered when not in use.
Contractor may apply paint by any method appropriate to the prevailing
needs and Timitations.
Sufficient drying time between coats will be allowed to enable the
preceding coat.to be sufficiently cured to prevent the development of
detrimental film characteristics such' as loss of adhesion.
GUYS
All guy wires shall be measured for Initial Tension'and shall be reset
to factory standards for Western Model 500 (1;540 pounds).
Method of measuring guy initial tension may be'by either direct or
indirect method as specified in EIA/TIA-222-E Standards for Steel
Antenna Towers and Antenna Supporting Structures (March 1991).
