and came $80,000 under the estimate, and recommended that the council accept the low
bid of B-F-W Construction of Temple, Texas, in the amount of $468,000, with no alternates.
Alderman Schenk questioned Mr. Bellamy on the adequacy of the size of the build-
ing for future use, and Mr. Bellamy stated that they felt it was large enough for
future growth of the City; however, there was space provided so that it could be
added to if ever needed, and that they had ungraded the quality of the building
rather than adding space which they do not feel will be needed. Jack Davis, City
!Manager, pointed out that the communications system will be much better in the new
design, also that new furniture and fixtures may be added with the saving in cost.
Moved by Alderman Burross that the Council approve the low bid of B-F-W Con-
struction of Temple, Texas, in the amount of $4680000, and that the contract be
awarded to them.
Motion seconded by Alderman Claytor and carried unanimously,
