unanimously that the minutes of the Regular Council Meeting of March 21,
1961 and of the Regular Adjourned Meeting of March 23, 1961 as submitted
in writing be approved.
Hearing continued from March 21, 1961 for the purpose of permitting the
applicant (Richard J. Au11, Sales Manager of P. F. Collier, Inc.) to
submit to the staff copies of material used by the sales personnel in
their door to door solicitation for the sale of Collier's Encyclopedia,
and copy of contract form, and to enable the City Manager to COntact those
cities mentioned by the applicant with regard to their experience with
the subject company,
The City Manager read letters received from the Cities of Anaheim,
Glendale and Long Beach which stated in substance that no complaints
had been received from their citizens regarding the.operation of the
company; also that the Better Business Bureau of Los Angeles and the
City of Whittier had reported favorably,
Councilman Balser questioned the applicant regarding the descent in his
area of representatives of P, F. Collier's, Inc. the evening following
the last Council meeting (March 21, 1961) soliciting the sale of Collier's
Encyclopedia without first having received a business permit so to do,
Mr, Au11 explained that he had learned of this incident; that said
operation emanated directly from the Los Angeles office and had undoubtedly
occurred inadvertently inasmuch as the office was aware of those cities
called "Green River Cities" which do not permit door to door solicitation
without specific permission; that he felt sure this would not happen
again and that if he were granted the requested permit operations in
Arcadia would be conducted in strict conformance with all specified
conditions,
Councilman Reibo1d moved that the hearing be closed. Councilman Phillips
seconded the motion which was carried unanimously.
Councilman Phillips moved that in view of the report submitted by the City
Manager the Council :authorize the issuance of a business permit to Richard
J. Au11, to allow representatives of P. F. Collier, Inc. to solicit door
to door in Arcadia for the sale of Collier's Encyclopedia Mondays through

sums requested by the Library Board of Trustees for needed operation of
the new library from take-over date to June 30, 1961, totaling
$10,275, said amount being in 'addition to items already budgeted.
The various requested amounts were discussed, and it was the consensus
of the Council that the figures were realistic, having been worked out
with the Director of Public Works and the Building Department, and
that there would have been sufficient money in the library budget had
it been foreseen that the new library would be completed approximately
four months prior to the 1961-62 budget allocations.

as submitted by the Library Board of Trustees for $10,275 additional
funds needed for the operation of the new library from take-over date
to June 30, 1961.
After discussion regarding Councilman Balser's suggestion that the
requested amount be appropriated from Council's Contingency Fund and
it being the consensus of the Council that at the end of the year the
library fund could be reimbursed out of general fund money but that 1
library money cannot be used for general fund purposes, Councilman
Reibo1d added to his motion that the amount of $10,275 be made available
from the Library Unappropriated Surplus Fund. Councilman Phillips

Recommendation that the bid of Petersen Corporation be rejected by reason
of it being incomplete and irregular in at least the following required
details, and that the contract be awarded to the lowest bid submitted in
accordance with the contract documents to Fredenburg of Arcadia in the
amount of $33,422.00; also that the Mayor and City Clerk be authorized
to execute same at such time as the City Attorney has approved the
Joint Powers Agreement:
1; The required non-collusion affidavit was not completed and submitted
with the bid.
2. The required bidder's statement of financial responsibility,
technical ability and experience was not complete or filed with
the bid,
3. The unit prices were not supplied in words as to any item.
4. The amounts inserted in figures as unit prices, if used as
unit prices, would cause bidder's proposal bid to be the
highest bid,
5, The respective items shown in figures on the bid do not equal

The City Manager advised that a communication dated March 23, 1961 had
been received from the Petersen Corporation protesting the award (copies
of said communication submitted to the Council and original communication
on file in office of the City Clerk). That the Engineering Division has
reviewed the proposal and said letter and feels that the Petersen bid as
submitted was deficient and irregular as follows;
1. The non-collusion affidavit required of all bidders was not executed.
2. Bidder's statement of Financial Responsibility, Technical Ability
and Experience was not complete or filed with the bid. There was a
notation on form provided "See Brochures and Financial Statement".
No supporting data was submitted with the bid.
1
3. The proposal form was not correctly filled out or complete. The
spaces provided to show the written unit prices were not filled in.
In the column provided to show unit prices in figures, Items 1 to 3 had
the total item bid written in words and Item 4 shows the total amount of
bid for the entire project written in words. The total bid shown was
not the total of the bid items extension shown.
The City Manager continued that in addition to the above, the documents
furnished were standard in form and quantity and more copies were avail-
able; that the time of filing the bid with the City Clerk was 10:45 A.M.
and bids were received up to 11:00 A.M. and it would have been possible
for the contractor to obtain a blank proposal, rewrite the bid and submit
it by the required time. That items 3 and 4 are based on unit prices
and final payment would be calculated from the unit prices showa in the
proposal; that the specifications state that the quantities shown are
approximate and for comparison of the bids, and therefore any extension
of the Petersen unit prices indicated in writing would result in
unacceptable totals. He added that the recommendation was based on
the legality of the bidding and for no other reason.
In response to Mayor Camphouse's invitation, Mr. Christian F. Petersen,
residing at 4343 East Live Oak Avenue, Arcadia, addressed the CounCil,
and stated in part. that he was not present at this meeting to protest the
award; that he had based his bid on a lump sum total price and that he
took full responsibility for any error or oversight made in his bid.
Whereupon Councilman Reibo1d moved that the Council accept the reCOmmen-
dation of the City Manager and the Director of Public Works and that a
contract be awarded to the lowest bid submitted in accordance with the
contract documents, namely Fred Fredenburg of Arcadia, California, in the
amount of $33,422.00, and that the Mayor and City Clerk be authorized to
execute same at such time as the City Attorney has approved the Joint
Powers Agreement. Councilman Phillips seconded the motion which was carried
on roll call vote as follows;
AYES: Councilmen Balser, Reibo1d, Phillips, Camphouse .

Councilman Reibo1d further moved that the sum of $24,000.00 be appropriate
