City Clerk MINUTES OF THE REGULAR ME2TING OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DES PL_AINES HELD IN THE COUNCIL CHAMBERS ON MONDAY, APRIL 7, 1941 at 8:00 P.M. CALL TO ORDER: The meeting was called to orde'r by Mayor Hobart M. Ahbe presiding with Aldermen Carroll, Johnson, Henrich, Loos, Dopheide, Carlson, Friott, Lemke, Schwanbeck and Campagna responding to the roll call. Clerk reported all members of the Council present. The REPORTS OF OFFICERS: The Clerk then read the reports of March, 1941 of the following officers: Mayor Ahbe ordered Edgar J. Friedrich, City Clerk Charles M. Larson, City Treasurer Frank F. Scharringhausen, Bldg. Inspector Arthur Rieck, Electrical Inspector the said reports placed on file. THE JUDICIARY AND ASSESSMENT COMMITTEE: Aldertrian Carlson, chairman of the Judiciary Committee then submitted the following minority report: Minority Report Re: Insurance Des Plaines, Illinois April 7, 1941. To the Mayor and City Council: 4 7 458 r Judiciary and assessment Committee Minority Report conttd. The Judiciary and Assessment Committee Charman has given further con- sideration to the letter of complaint received from the Des•Plaines Realty Company, one ice of the four bidders submitting proposals on February 3, 1941. Because the usual procedure of referring letters of -this nature to the proper committee for careful consideration'and report was not done, it -is believed that a hasty and not a very thorough consideration was given this matter at our•last Council meeting. Furthermore, we have three other - agencies submitting bids in good faith, to -also consider, in any action this Council might take. To clearly consider this letter from the complaining agency, that letter is herein quoted, -with a substantial reply -which shall establish the reasoning prompting the recommendations of this Committee submitted for your carefull consideration on March 5, 1941, and accepted by this Council by an affir- mative vote of S members and negative vote'of 2 members. The complaining agency which is the Des Plaines Realty Company states in their -letter of -March 15, 1941, in the paragraph of Item 1, as follows: "Item -One of your -bid calls for Workmen's Compensation Insurance•to cover the various employees of the•City. Of this item we were the lowest bidder. As the City completely disregarded this fact and awarded the policy to the next highest bidder, in our opinion, you forfeited any rights you may have acquired as a result of this bid. Being -the lowest bidder and•complying with -all of the conditions of your proposal we are'entitled'to the award of this policy."' • • If the complaining agency had carefully read the Legal Notice and the specifications, both of which clearly state in the following quotations That; -"The said City Council reserves the right to accept or reject any or all hidapannocongaxtxaragogizodettimiibcamostaterbobaxtinsxilmaciffieNtiernsuparitiouno Ituratimucf&rtkaximmestothitbdiKrilagxisiximucagmasgtadTAIriaxNestimaxsiondati l[x7E75FY bids; or any part of any such bid," as stated in the Legal Notice, or; $The City Council of Des Plaines reserves the right to accept or reject any or all bids, or any part of any cuh bids," as stated in the Specifications, with no mention of the lowest bid having to be accepted, this question should not have been raised. Furthermore after much discussion on the City Council floor, regarding the advisability of placing Item one, 'Jorkmens' Compensation and Employers' Liability Insurance, and Item Two, Automobile Liability Insurance, in the same company, it was ruled and advised by our City Attorney at that time that these policies should be placed in the same company. The reason being to avoid controversy or the need for legal action in the event of claim for compensation under these policies, where the question of responsibility may be in doubt. Also it can be added, that the placing of both policies with the same Company was conforming with an established practice of many years. Of Item Two the compalining agency does not raise an objection exept re- greVing not having an opportunity to rebid. Quoting Item Three of the complaining agency's letter as follows: "Item Three requested coverage for the Volunteer Firemen and specified a principal sum of $3,000.00 and weekly indemnity of $25.00. Our bid was in accordance with your specifications, however, the policy was awarded to a company Who submitted an alternate bid not in accordance with the specifications and on which all of the bidders had no chance to compete. After the bids were opend this company was permitted to change their bid so that it would comply with the specifications called for in the original proposal. This entirely disregards all practices covering sealed bids and tends to defeat its very purpose. Under the policy accepted the premium is based on a certain charger per individual member and separate policies are issued to cover each individual member. If the number of firemen is increased, the premium is likewise in- creased; whereas, under our policy, which is a blanket form, it covers any and all members regardless of the number at the same price. Under the policy accepted, the company's insuring clause provides payment on bodily injury sustained only while the firmen are actually engaged in performing 459 ,Tudiciary and Assessment Committee's anority deport conttd. the duties of Volunteer Firemen, and while going to or coming from a fire. Whereas, the policy that we bid would have furnished this coverage, and in addition provides protection for the firemen on drills, parades, and tests and trials of any fire fighting apparatus. The policy accepted makes no reference to indemnity for non -disabling injury; whereas our policy provides that if injury does not result in any loss of time for which indemnity is --payable, Our company would pay any medical and surgical costs caused by this non -disabling accident not to exceed the weekly indemnity of one week." The criticism expressed in the foregoing regarding alternate bidding is most unfair reflection on this Council's actions, and furthermore coming from -fie agency that saw fit to accompany its original proposal with a letter offer- ing several alternates for consideration, these we elected not to take advan- tage of at this time, but expected to use the suggestions for future consider- ation. This brings about a confliction of opinion, which apparently applies only when favorable to the complainant. The decision made in awarding this policy was wholly in the interest of judcially expending the publics money to the greatest good. In the second paragraph of Item Three as quoted from the complaining agency's letter, is a lengthy reference to the coverage not being as complete in the policy of the company to which the award had been made originally, C.n as it would be in the policy offered by the complaining agency. We have a C4 letter from the successful bidder which clearly defines this question, ai}d is quoted herewith as follows; "In determining coverage under any contract, we naturally go direct to the insuring clause. The insuring clause of the Fireman's Accident Policy says that we,insure the member "while he is actually engaged in performing that duties of a volunteer fireman of the Town or City of or while going to or coming from a fire." If attending pectice and drills is a duty of the members of the Des Plaines Department, then the policy covers. If it is the duty of the Des Plaines Department to maintain a pulmotor or to do emergency and first aid work, then the individual member is covered while using the pulmotor or while going to or coming from the scene of any emergency. Our coverage is simpler than that of the Bureau, and for that reason I believe it is really broader. I know that we go to all reasonable lengths in interpreting the happenings under these policies as within the purview of th insuring clause." Following into the next item of the complaining agency's letter, we find Iter_i Four, which refers to both Item tour -and Five of our specifications as follows: "Item Four requested fire and theft protection on the two fire trucks and again we were the lowest bidder and were awarded this bid; but we do not feel obligated to accept this award due to the fact that the city did not award us the other policies on which we were the low bidders. We would he perfectly willing to -write this business Provided we were awarded all of the policies on which we were low." They state their unwillingness to write these policies because of the failure to award others they believe they are entitled to receive. It should again be pointed out that they submitted their proposals with the full knowledge of the right exercised by the Council which is clearly stated in the specifications, and we again quote herewith: "The City Council of Des Plaines -reserves the right to accept or reject any or all bids or any part of any such bids." Turning to Item Five of the complaining agency's letter which is covered in Item six of the specifications and known as Owners' Landlords' and Tenants' Public Liaiblity Insurance, we quote as follows: "Item Five requested OLT coverage on the signs in the city. We bid a flat price of $50.00 based on information obtained that the number of signs exceeded 250. The successful bidder bid a minimum price which is subject to change based on the number of signs. As all bidders were not furnished with the correct number of signs to be covered, this appears to show favoritism in favor of the successful bidder who was able to base his advance premium on a smaller number of signs to be covered than the other bidders." 460 Minority Report conttd. In reply to that foregoing paragraph we draw attention to the last sentence of the specifications as quoted herewith: "For further infor— mation and list of signs see the City Clerk." The City Clerk should have been able to give the latest list and number of signs from records maintained in his office. — Having reasonably considered this complaint, together with,due con— sideration of the other bidders; and also believing that spending of the Publics money on re—advertising together with the additional cost of ex— tention of policies under the old rates, is not in the public interest. Fully realizing that the Council with insufficient time to properly analyze this complaint, and no doubt acting in haste, should in fairness to all and to the Public rescind the action of the last meeting of the Council held March 17, 1941. Respectfully submitted Clifford Carlson Chairman Judiciary and Assessment Committee The motion was made by Alderman Carlson and seconded by Henrich to concur in this report. The Mayor put the question and the Clerk called the roll with the following result: Ayes: Aldermen Henrich, Loos, Dopheide, Carlson and Friott.
