F. Wright City Clerk Rochester, Min :.esota Dear Sir: Judc;ing from a conversation with J.McG.Miller, the architect on the new Central Fire Station work, there seems to be some question in the minds of some of the prospective bidders on the new Central Fire Station regarding the applicability of the two ordinances recently passed by the Common Council setting the scale of wages to be paid on public work sand providing that only bonafide .residents of the City of Roches- ter shall be employed thereon. In order that all of the contractors and bidders may come in on an equal footing and in order to clear up and differences of opinion there might bF; regarding these ordinances and their application to ,the Central Fire Station job, you are advised that the bidders on the new Central Fire Station ore to ignore completely all of the provisions of the two ordinances above mentioned. This opinion is based upon the fact that the Coiamon Council of •the City of Rochester at a meeting on the 31st day of, ?.,fareh,1 30, approved and adopted the plan-- and specifications for the new Central Fire Station as they were submitted by J: ,Accl.Miller, the city's architect, and at that, time, inasinuch as neither of the two ordin- ances above mentioned were'in force, the specifications or plans did not contain any of the provisions relating to them and s inoe the ordinances were not passed until after the acceptance, adoption and approval of the plans and specifications, it' is' obvious that, they would have,no application to the said work. I might suggest that your office mail out such information to prospective bidders. Very truly yours, James T. Spillane its-eo City Attorney." 1-'he City Clerk reported ttLat due to the short time before proposals would be submitted, he h-.d furnished each of the contractors who were figuring on the general contract, the plumbing and heating contract,andthe electric wiring contract ,for the new central fire station, with a copy of the above quoted ruling by the City Attorney, and upon motion by Hicks, second by Erickson, the City Clerk's actions in putting out these copies to the contractors concerned was approved.
