CSISD ends contract for A&M Consol bid by Kathy Wiesepape Battalion Staff The College Station School Board voted Tuesday to end their contract with SHWC Inc. of Houston, the architectural firm hired to design a parking lot, a new fire alarm system and handicapped facilities for A&M Consolidated Junior High School. In a special Board of Educa tion meeting at the College Sta tion Independent School Dis trict Administrative Offices, William Fitch, building commit tee chairman, reported that the company’s performance has been completely unsatisfactory. He pointed out mistakes in the preliminary plans, including bad drainage in the parking lot, no practical place for unloading busses, no provision for dumps ters, and insufficient facilities for the handicapped. Superintendent H. Richard Burnett suggested giving the company a deadline for revising the plans, rather than ending the contract immediately. “If they don’t answer the questions satisfactorily, or make the necessary corrections within two weeks, the Board should give them an ultimatum,” he said. But board members said trying to revise the plans could delay completion of the project until next February. They want to have the fire alarm system and handicapped facilities in stalled by the end of the summer. The Board will negotiate with the firm to keep the completed preliminary plans, which cost the school district $ 12 thousand. The original contract did not in clude giving the Board posses sion of the plans. The Board still owes the firm $4 thousand on the original $16 thousand con tract. SHWC Inc. will be notified of its dismissal Thursday.
