Decision - Hire Architect Community Center
At the April 23 meeting of the City Council, C. J. Bailey, Jr., Chairman of the
Community Center Committee, met with the council, gave a brief report on the work being
done by the subcommittees and urged the council to retain the services of an architect
as soon as possible as the group needs the professional advice and guidance of an architect
in its research studies. The Council instructed the City Manager to contact the three
architects, Dan Perkins, James A. Davis and Lowell Lammers, and invite them to meet with
the council for an interview. Members of the Community Center Committee and the three
architects met with the council to discuss the many ramifications required to properly
develop an intelligent outline of the order to be pursued in tho presentation of a bond
issue to the voters of Baytown. During the preliminary discussion it was definitely
established that services of an architect were urgently needed for counseling prior
to the architectural development and the fees would be the same regardless of the planning
stage at which an architect is hired. Councilman Clark then moved to retain the services
of an architect for the proposed community center. Councilman Badgett seconded the motion.
The vote follows:
Ayes: Councilmen Clark, Badgett, Cravey, Lively and Huron
Mayor Liggett
Nays: None
During each interview, the architect in question gave a brief resume of his family,
educational and occupational background. He then gave a brief oral listing of architectural
construction in and around Baytown in which he was either partially or totally responsible
by contract. Items discussed were: 1) Using the services of the City's Planner, Bernard
Johnson, in conjunction with the architect; 2) the city's obligation to the architect, fee
wise, should the bond issue fail to pass; 3) Architect fees; submitting a model written
contract for council perusal prior to execution of a contract; and 4) submitting a written
list of buildings designed and supervised by architect. A committee composed of Councilmen
Clark, Badgett and Lively with Mr. Ash of the Bernard Johnson Engineering Company, was
appointed to obtain information about the qualifications and type of work each architect
has done for other clients. This committee will make a report on its study at the May 14th
meeting and it is hoped that the council will be able to make a decision on the architect
at the conclusion of the report.
