CYPRESS CIVIC CENTER FOUNDATION INVESTIGATION: The City Manager stated that
at the last City Council meeting, the staff had been instructed to obtain
additional information regarding the soils tests for the Civic Center site.
The City Manager advised that this investigation revealed that the proposal
submitted by Dames and Moore appeared to be high in terms of the total
project and that proposals had been requested from LeRoy Crandall and Assoc-
iates and L.T. Evans, Inc., who were both recognized as qualified soils
engineering firms.
The City Manager further advised that due to the fact that recent soils
tests had been conducted in the subject area by LeRoy Crandall and Associates,
that this firm would probably be most qualified to complete this project at
the lowest cost to the City. The City Manager recommended that the City
Council reject the proposal submitted by Dames and Moore and authorize the
City to employ the firm of LeRoy Crandall and Associates to conduct the
soils tests for the Civic Center project upon receipt of a written proposal
acceptable to the City Manager and Public Works Director.
It was moved by Councilman McCarney, seconded by Councilman Wright, and
unanimously carried, to reject the proposal submitted by Dames and Moore and
to authorize the City to employ the firm of LeRoy Crandall and Associates to
conduct the soils tests for the Civic Center project upon receipt of a
